Immediate versus staged complete revascularization in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and multivessel coronary artery disease: results from a prematurely discontinued randomized multicenter trial Open
Due to its limited power, no definite conclusion can be drawn regarding complete revascularization strategy from the present study. Further large randomized clinical trials would be warranted to confirm optimal timing of complete revascula…

Stenting versus balloon angioplasty alone in patients with below-the-knee disease: A propensity score-matched analysis Open
Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is considered an effective treatment in patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI). However, the long-term durability of below-the-knee (BTK) PTA is known to be limited. This study sought to comp…
View article: P966 Impact of systolic dysfunction and elevated left ventricular end diastolic pressure on three years clinical outcome in patients with atrial fibrillation
P966 Impact of systolic dysfunction and elevated left ventricular end diastolic pressure on three years clinical outcome in patients with atrial fibrillation Open
Background Systolic and diastolic dysfunction is related with adverse clinical outcomes in the patients with sinus rhythm. Purpose: The aim of this study is to clarify the prognostic significance of both systolic and diastolic dysfunction …
View article: Three-year major clinical outcomes of phosphorylcholine polymer- vs biolinx polymer-zotarolimus-eluting stents
Three-year major clinical outcomes of phosphorylcholine polymer- vs biolinx polymer-zotarolimus-eluting stents Open
There are limited long-term outcome data comparing BioLinx polymer (B)-zotarolimus-eluting stents (ZES) with phosphorylcholine polymer (P)-ZES. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of B-ZES with P-ZES in patients wh…
