Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has become the predominant procedure for
coronary revascularization in patients with both stable and unstable coronary artery disease …

In acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), improvement in reperfusion
strategies has contributed to improvement in mortality. Nonetheless up to 40–50% of …

Abstract Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) has demonstrated beneficial effects after

The prognostic relevance of quantitative an intracoronary occlusive electrocardiographic
(ECG) ST-segment shift and its determinants have not been investigated in humans. In 765 …

The detachment of atherothrombotic material from the atherosclerotic coronary plaque and
downstream embolisation is an underrecognized phenomenon and it causes different …

The definition and clinical implications of myocardial infarction occurring in the setting of
percutaneous coronary intervention have been the subject of unresolved controversy. The …

Objective This study tested the hypotheses that intermittent coronary sinus occlusion (iCSO)
reduces myocardial ischaemia, and that the amount of ischaemia reduction is related to …
