Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is the leading cause of disability worldwide and among the leading causes of mortality. Although intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV-rtPA) was approved nearly 2 decades ago for treatment of AIS, only a minority of patients receive it due to a narrow time window for administration and several contraindications to its use.

Despite this lack of data, endovascular therapy is being used much more widely and has become the standard of care in many re...
متن کاملPercutaneous peripheral interventions in patients with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndromes performed by interventional cardiologists: rationale and results.

Due to many comorbidities these patients are often treated conservatively without revascularisation. AIM To investigate whether complex percutaneous cardiovascular interventions for CAD and PAD may improve prognosis and l...

متن کاملCellular adaptive response to chronic radiation exposure in interventional cardiologists.
Aims Invasive cardiologists are the most exposed to ionizing radiation among health professionals and show an increased rate of somatic DNA damage. To evaluate the effects of chronic low-dose exposure to ionizing radiation on redox state and apoptotic activation. Methods and results We enrolled 10 healthy exposed professionals (all interventional cardiologists, Group II, exposed: age = 38 ± 5 ...
