Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With the Agent Paclitaxel-Coated Balloon:  A Real-World Multicenter Experience
Original Contribution

Matteo Montorfano, MD; Antonio Colombo, MD; Francesco Ponticelli, MD; Beniamino Pagliaro, MD; Guglielmo Gallone, MD; Alessandro Durante, MD; Francesco Giannini, MD; Gianmarco Iannopollo, MD
The Agent paclitaxel-coated balloon is a new drug-coated balloon (DCB) with few available real-world data. Our study assessed the safety and efficacy of the Agent DCB during PCI in different coronary lesion types in a prospective registry...

Cardiovascular Risk Stratification for Patients Treated With Drug-Eluting Stents: Development and Validation of the DESIRE Score
Original Contribution
03/01/2020
Adriana Costa Moreira, MD, PhD; Amanda G.R.M. Sousa, MD, PhD; Jose de Ribamar Costa, Jr., MD, PhD; Ricardo A. Costa, MD, PhD; Lucas Damiani, MS; Cantidio Campos Neto, BS , PhD; Galo Maldonado, MD; J. Eduardo Sousa, MD, PhD
We developed a risk score to estimate the risk of major adverse cardiac event (MACE) during the in-hospital and long-term follow-up periods after PCI with drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation.

The Impact of a Chronic Total Coronary Occlusion on Outcomes of Patients With an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator: Insights From the EXPLORE Trial
03/01/2020
Jose P.S. Henriques, MD, PhD; Anna Van Veelen, MD; Ivo M. van Dongen, MD, PhD
A chronic total occlusion may increase the risk of appropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy. Therefore, we evaluated all patients who received an ICD during 5-year follow-up in the EXPLORE trial.

María T. López-Lluva, MD; Ignacio Sánchez-Pérez, MD; Fernando Lozano Ruíz-Poveda, MD, PhD; Pedro Perez Diaz, MD; José Abellán-Huerta, MD, PhD
The recognition of woven coronary artery anomaly is difficult because of its rare nature. Optical coherence tomography imaging is challenging due to the tortuosity of the channels; however, it is crucial not only for the differential...

Bhartendu Chandra, MD; Vijay K. Sharma, MD
Open surgical harvesting of the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) is believed to increase the risk of injury to the brachial plexus. We believe that this approach probably aggravated the neurological damage in our patient. Proper...
