TCTAP C-186 Intravascular Ultrasound Guided Double Kiss Double Crush Stenting in Bifurcation with Long Term Follow-Up

Seeing double: the double kissing crush stenting technique for coronary bifurcation lesions

Impact of intravascular ultrasound-guided stenting on long-term clinical outcome: a meta-analysis of available studies comparing intravascular ultrasound-guided and angiographically guided stenting.

To date, only a few studies have compared the clinical efficacy of intracoronary ultrasound (IVUS)-guided to angiographically guided stenting. Furthermore, it is not yet known whether the lower restenosis rate shown with the former strategy would translate into a substantial clinical advantage. Therefore, the aim of the present investigation was to improve the level of evidence of these studies...

Evolution of spontaneous atherosclerotic plaque rupture with medical therapy: long-term follow-up with intravascular ultrasound.

BACKGROUND Ruptured coronary atheromatous plaque is generally considered to involve a high risk of subsequent clinical events. Few data are available on the natural evolution of non-culprit-lesion ruptured plaque. We therefore used serial intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) to study how such lesions, detected in the context of a first acute coronary syndrome with elevated troponin I levels, develop...

Clinical Outcome of Double Kissing Crush Versus Provisional Stenting of Coronary Artery Bifurcation Lesions

BACKGROUND Provisional stenting is effective for anatomic simple bifurcation lesions. Double kissing crush stenting reduces the 1-year rate of target lesion revascularization. This study aimed to investigate the 5-year clinical results of the DKCRUSH-II study (Randomized Study on Double Kissing Crush Technique Versus Provisional Stenting Technique for Coronary Artery Bifurcation Lesions). MET...

Increase in antimullerian hormone in long-term follow-up of patients with endometrioma after laparoscopic surgery

Abstract Background: Endometriosis is a common disease which is characterized by the development of the endometrial tissue outside the uterus. The most common location of endometriosis is the ovary, occurring in 17-44% of affected patients . It is a chronic disease mostly affecting women at reproductive age. Therefore, it is important to predict and protect the patients’ ovarian function. The...
