A group of Utahns were honored Tuesday for coming together to save an Ogden man's life after he suffered a heart attack on Thanksgiving.

but further investigation is needed to determine its exact place in the treatment of coronary artery occlusion. The problem of ISR led researchers to the notion of using the coronary stent itself ...

is advanced across the thrombotic total occlusion. Crossing the thrombus results in restoration of antegrade flow in the treated vessel. Consequently, the ensuing coronary angiogram enables ...

In this retrospective study, patients who underwent coronary angiography were enrolled ... between groups (P = 0.209), and no radial artery occlusion in either group. Read the full story here.

has rapidly emerged as the preferred vascular access site for coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention. Radial artery occlusion (RAO) remains as an important complication of TRA as ...

A second randomized clinical trial, the DECISION-CTO trial (Optimal Medical Therapy With or Without Stenting for Coronary Chronic Total Occlusion), assigned 834 patients to CTO PCI or medical therapy.

Vessel occlusion was defined as a lesion with no anterograde ... The remaining 26 patients underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG; 16 in group 1 and 10 in group 2); in all these cases ...

Exclusion criteria included (1) chronic total occlusion (CTO), (2 ... In three main epicardial coronary arteries, namely, left anterior descending artery (LAD), left circumflex artery (LCX), and right ...
