Angiography is a diagnostic heart test, not a treatment, helping doctors detect blockages and determine the best care.
A new method for determining whether patients with heart disease need coronary stents or bypass surgery is more effective than the angiogram, which is currently used, according to research from ...
Using optimal coherence tomography (OCT) to guide stent implantation during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with complex coronary lesions significantly improves survival and ...
A heart problem rarely arrives very silently. Chest discomfort, breathlessness, or an abnormal stress test can suddenly bring ...
Using intravascular imaging to guide stent implantation during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in heart disease patients significantly improves survival and reduces adverse cardiovascular ...
A new study could lead to more widespread use of imaging technique to improve survival and prevent complications. Using intravascular imaging (IVI) to guide stent implantation during complex stenting ...
The study, presented at the annual meeting of the European Society of Cardiology and published in The New England Journal of Medicine, showed a significantly reduced rate of blood clots forming within ...
STANFORD, Calif. — Doctors may be implanting too many artery-opening stents and could improve patient outcomes — and ultimately save lives — if they did more in-depth measurements of blood flow in the ...
An “optical biopsy” of intravascular plaque during stenting is more effective at reducing the rate of restenosis or thrombosis in people with moderately or severely calcified lesions than angiography ...
