Virtual Histology Imaging in Acute Coronary Syndromes: Useful or Just a Research Tool?
ABSTRACT: Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) frequently cause considerable morbidity and mortality with a high risk of further events within the following year, despite the use of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Numerous studies have described the concept of acute, partial or complete thrombotic occlusion of the coronary artery, which occurs at the site of a friable atherosclerotic plaque with a lipid-rich necrotic core and a ruptured overlying thin fibrous cap (“culprit lesion”).

Efficacy of Modified Dual Antiplatelet Therapy Combined with Warfarin Following Percutaneous (FULL TITLE BELOW)
ABSTRACT: Background. The optimal combination of anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapy following percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting (PCI-S) among patients requiring oral anticoagulation (OAC) is unknown. Objectives

Cardiac CT and Percutaneous Mitral Annuloplasty: A Vision of the Future?
Mitral regurgitation (MR), a common valvular disorder, is a heterogeneous condition that can be broadly categorized into primary (affecting the valve apparatus) or secondary (functional) etiologies. For appropriately selected patients, surgical mitral valve repair, when possible, is the preferred strategy over mitral valve replacement. 1 The evidence for device/surgical treatment of functional mitral regurgitation is less well established for patients with severe heart failure and conveys increased operative risk

The Role of Cardiovascular Computed Tomographic Angiography for Coronary Sinus Mitral Annuloplasty
ABSTRACT: Background. The coronary sinus (CS) travels in close proximity to the left circumflex (LCX) artery. Percutaneously placed CS devices used to treat mitral regurgitation (MR) therefore have the potential to impinge upon the LCX arterial distribution and compromise coronary flow

On Registries and Labels
The outcomes that can be expected after Cypher stent implantation have been well publicized and the results from other smaller and larger registries of drug-eluting stent (DES) implantations have been reported and have highlighted the differences in outcomes in “off-label” versus “on-label” usage.
