(UPDATED) In a head-to-head comparison of two revascularization strategies for patients with three-vessel coronary artery disease, PCI guided by a functional assessment of ischemia using fractional ...

Coronary stenting guided by fractional flow reserve (FFR) readings, considered to reflect the targeted lesion's functional impact, was no match for coronary bypass surgery (CABG) in patients with ...

Conclusions We found that PCI performed at hospitals without on-site cardiac surgery was noninferior to PCI performed at hospitals with on-site cardiac surgery with respect to mortality at 6 weeks and ...

PHILADELPHIA — Viewed by many as the last chance to determine the true value of revascularization in stable ischemic heart disease, the ISCHEMIA trial failed to show fewer major cardiovascular events ...

The outcomes from real-life clinical studies regarding the optimal revascularization strategy in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (MVD) are still poorly investigated. In this ...

For patients with complex coronary artery disease deemed ineligible for surgery, the short-term risk of death with PCI is considerably lower than the evaluating surgeon’s risk estimate, according to ...

he primary results of the Fractional Flow Reserve Versus Angiography for Multivessel Evaluation (FAME) 3 trial found that percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) guided by fractional flow reserve ...

Patients who have undergone coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery are susceptible to bypass graft failure and progression of native coronary artery disease. Although the saphenous vein graft ...
