Our aim was to identify patients undergoing complex, high-risk indicated percutaneous coronary intervention (CHIP-PCI) and compare their outcomes with non-CHIP patients. We created a CHIP score to risk stratify these patients.

Newer antiplatelet therapy agents are reliable and have a fast onset of action, but have significantly higher cost, leading to compliance concerns. We adopted and evaluated an acute agent-switching strategy, using prasugrel or ticagrelor for...

Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery (ARCA) represents the most common form of abnormal coronary origin and may potentially increase the risk for sudden cardiac death. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of QFR analysis in patients...

There is renewed interest in intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) use in chronic systolic heart failure patients with acute decompensation and cardiogenic shock. We sought to identify predictors of early IABP response to guide optimal use in this...
