TCTAP C-098 Severe 3 Vessel Disease Involving LM Bifurcation and LAD-CTO

Severe arch vessel disease.

Long-term outcomes of simple crossover stenting from the left main to the left anterior descending coronary artery

BACKGROUND/AIMS Although complex bifurcation stenting in patients with non-left main (LM) bifurcation lesions has not yielded better clinical outcomes than simpler procedures, the utility of complex bifurcation stenting to treat LM bifurcation lesions has not yet been adequately explored. METHODS In the present study, patients who underwent LM-to-left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery...

Optical coherence tomography - guided V - stenting in the distal left main V - stenting no tronco distal

An 83-year-old man with hypertension, bilateral carotid disease, porcelain aorta and moderate renal failure was admitted with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography revealed three-vessel disease with distal left main (LM) bifurcation involving the ostia of both the left anterior descending (LAD) and the left circumflex (LCx) coronary arteries (Medina 0,1,1; SYNTAX score 23...

C-Reactive Protein and Cerebral Small-Vessel Disease An Opportunity to Reassess Small-Vessel Disease Physiopathology?

The burden of stroke goes well beyond those cases that are clinically recognized. Imaging techniques of the brain have revealed a remarkably high prevalence of white matter lesions (WML) and silent brain lacunar infarcts (SBLI). In the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute–sponsored Cardiovascular Health Study, SBLI 3 mm were found in 31% of all subjects.1 Fewer than 15% of patients with su...
