Abstract
Coronary artery disease in patients with diabetes is frequently a diffuse process with multivessel involvement and is associated with increased risk for myocardial infarction and death. The role of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with diabetes and multivessel disease who require revascularization has been debated and…

Polymer-based sirolimus (Cypher®) and paclitaxel (Taxus®) drug-eluting stents (DES) have reduced rates of restenosis and target lesion revascularization (TLR) compared with bare-metal stents (BMS) and have launched a revolution in the interventional treatment of symptomatic coronary artery disease.1,2 However, this overwhelming enthusiasm has recently been dampened by safety concerns regarding a…

– Coach John Wooden
Ongoing technological and procedural innovations increasingly permit the safe and effective performance of ever more high-risk and complex percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in the modern cardiac catheterization laboratory. Anatomic characteristics of higher risk include unprotected distal left main stenosis,…

Since the first treatment of a patient with severe stenosis of the left anterior descending coronary artery using the percutaneous balloon angioplasty technique, pioneered by Andreas Gruentzig more than 25 years ago, the thriving subspeciality of lesser-invasive transcatheter therapeutics has become an important treatment alternative in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Although balloon…
