On Teaching Cardiac Cath Part II: Where is Your Attending?

For at least a decade, we have been in a drug-eluting stent (DES) era. Almost all studies point to superiority of DES over bare metal stents with regard to restenosis, but past controversies included the incidence of thrombosis and short...

For at least a decade, we have...
