Correlates and long-term outcomes of angiographically proven stent thrombosis with sirolimus- and paclitaxel-eluting stentsPramod K Kuchulakanti
Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, Washington Hospital Center, Washington, DC 20010, USA
Circulation 113:1108-13. 2006..Careful management is warranted in patients with renal failure and in those undergoing treatment for in-stent restenosis and bifurcations. Special focus on clopidogrel compliance may minimize the incidence of ST after DES implantation...
Increased late sodium current in myocytes from a canine heart failure model and from failing human heartCarmen R Valdivia
Departments of Medicine, Surgery and Physiology, University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics, University of Wisconsin, 600 Highland Avenue H6/349, Madison, WI 53792, USA
J Mol Cell Cardiol 38:475-83. 2005..We conclude that a peak I(Na) is decreased, and non-inactivating late I(Na) is increased in heart failure and this may contribute to action potential prolongation and the generation of arrhythmia...
Frequency and severity of plaque prolapse within Cypher and Taxus stents as determined by sequential intravascular ultrasound analysisSang-Wook Kim
Cardiovascular Research Institute/Medstar Research Institute, Washington Hospital Center, Washington, DC, USA
Am J Cardiol 98:1206-11. 2006..However, sequential intravascular ultrasound imaging showed that the frequency and amount of plaque prolapse were neither increased nor decreased by additional higher pressure inflations...
