ABSTRACT: Clopidogrel is a thienopyridine derivative antiplatelet compound. The antiplatelet effects of clopidogrel originate through noncompetitive antagonism of the platelet ADP receptor, P2Y12, resulting in inhibition of platelet...

ABSTRACT: All three coronary arteries originating from a single coronary ostium is a rarity. Single coronary artery (CA) arising from the left aortic sinus is far more uncommon than one arising from the right sinus. Usually in such cases, the...

ABSTRACT: Objective. Pericardiocentesis is a life-saving procedure associated with a small, but significant, risk of major complication. An apical or subcostal approach may be used, although the relative complication rates are not reported....
