Abstract: Background. Restoring degenerated bioprosthetic valves by transcatheter valve implantation may obviate the need for redo surgery in carefully selected patients. We present our initial experience with valve-in-valve (VIV) procedures...

ABSTRACT: Background. Neutrophils and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are suggested to be involved in irreversible myocardial reperfusion injury and stunning. We investigated the relations between circulating biochemical markers and myocardium...

Since the advent of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in the late 1970s, the long-term efficacy of catheter-based coronary revascularization has been challenged in a significant proportion of patients by the occurrence of...

I have no doubt the vast majority of the Journal’s readers would find CTO recanalization to be quite a familiar term. However, one would not need to go back that many years to be reminded that endovascular treatment of CTOs (chronic total...
