Few data are available on the safety of interventions for peripheral arterial disease performed in the office-based laboratory (OBL) setting. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the short- and late-term outcomes of patients treated...

Despite increasing use of VA-ECMO in patients with CS secondary to STEMI, a paucity of adequate evidence for this therapy remains. The aim of this single-center clinical registry study was to identify predictors of survival and discern the...

Coronary intravascular ultrasound assessment demonstrated severe stent underexpansion and circumferential superficial calcification. Following a failed attempt to predilate the in-stent restenosis, rotational atherectomy was performed.
