..The FDA Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE) database was searched to identify cases of LSD to gain insight into procedural and anatomical factors that predispose to this complication and associated clinical outcomes...

..A meta-analysis of all randomised controlled studies that compare outcomes of transradial versus the transfemoral route to better define best practice in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)...

..Optimal PCI treatment of saphenous vein graft (SVG) lesions remains unclear despite SVG procedures representing up to 10% of PCI cases. We therefore performed a meta-analysis to compare outcomes between BMS and DES in SVG PCI...

..The prevalence of AGR/IR in HF patients without DM is significantly underrecognized and, as yet, the optimal method for screening for these abnormalities in the outpatient setting is unclear...

..We have therefore performed this meta-analysis to study the effects of the presence of AF on mortality in CHF patients...

..The aim of this study is to report the utility and limitations of this stent in patients undergoing treatment to bifurcation coronary lesions in a real-world setting...

....

..To investigate the relationship between resting distal coronary pressure to aortic pressure ratio (Pd/Pa) and fractional flow reserve (FFR) obtained during maximal hyperemia...

..We describe our institution's experiences using these devices to aid transradial graft intervention...

..We report the experience in our centre on longitudinal stent deformation and explore mechanisms of this complication and its frequency with various drug-eluting stent platforms...

..We retrospectively studied the prevalence of asymptomatic PAF in 162 CHF patients through analysis of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device downloads to determine whether these episodes are associated with adverse outcomes...

..We meta-analysed studies comparing these two interventional strategies...

..We discuss how the Guideliner catheter may be used to facilitate difficult radial cases...

..The aim of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of using the Heartrail II catheter as a distal stent delivery system in PCI following failure of conventional techniques...

....

..This thromboembolic risk may be reduced by anticoagulation with warfarin but not without introducing new hemorrhagic risks...

..Devices which remove thrombus from coronary arteries (thrombectomy devices) or protect from distal embolisation of thrombus (distal protection devices) are increasingly used in PCI...

..This technique should be considered in patients at high risk from developing renal complications post PCI...

..Cardiovascular involvement in influenza infection should be considered in all patients presenting with hemodynamic compromise...

....

..Since then, many larger randomized trials investigating the role of GIK in the setting of AMI have been published; hence, the present study repeats the previous meta-analysis performed by the current authors to include these trials...

....

..One of the limiting factors is that of chemically identifying metabolites from mass spectrometric signals present in complex datasets...

..A further therapeutic option for these patients is embolisation of appropriate systemic-to-pulmonary collateral arteries. We discuss here our experience in treating two such patients with different underlying anatomical substrates...

..We describe the use of this system to facilitate extra deep intubation, enabling distal stent delivery beyond proximal points of obstruction that had been unsuccessful using more conventional techniques...
