The Rubicon Theory of War
halted his army on the banks of the Rubicon River in northern Italy. According to Suetonius, he paused in momentary hesitation, before sweeping across the waters toward Rome with the immortal phrase Alae iacta est (The die has been cast).1 By violating an ancient Roman law forbidding any general to cross the Rubicon with an army, Caesar’s decision made war inevitable. Ever since, “crossing the ...
متن کاملBalloon optimization versus stent study (BOSS): provisional stenting and early recoil after balloon angioplasty.
"Optimal" percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) may have a late restenosis rate similar to stenting. We sought to assess short- and long-term results of a provisional stenting/optimal PTCA approach compared with elective stenting in a prospective, randomized study. A total of 97 patients with discrete, de novo lesions in native coronary arteries > or =3 mm in diameter were rando...
متن کاملInitial experience of platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibition with abciximab during carotid stenting: a safe and effective adjunctive therapy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Abciximab has been shown to decrease periprocedural ischemic complications after coronary intervention. However, the adjunctive use of abciximab in carotid stenting has not been adequately studied. We sought to determine the efficacy and safety of abciximab in carotid stenting. METHODS Carotid stenting was performed in 151 consecutive patients determined to be at high s...
متن کاملAcute and Long Term Outcomes of Coronary Intervention in Unprotected Left Main Lesions
Introduction : Significant left main coronary artery stenosis jeopardizes the entire myocardium of the left ventricle and has the worst prognosis of any form of coronary artery disease. Coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been considered as the standard therapeutic approach for such patients. There are limited data on the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous coronary intervention (PC...
متن کاملDirect coronary stenting in reducing radiation and radiocontrast consumption
INTRODUCTION Coronary stenting is the primary means of coronary revascularization. There are two basic techniques of stent implantation: stenting with balloon predilatation of stenosis and stenting without predilatation (direct stenting). Limiting the time that a fluoroscope is activated and by appropriately managing the intensity of the applied radiation, the operator limits radiation in the e...
