Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the best reperfusion strategy in patients with ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (AMI).1 This is mainly because it achieves a very high rate of successful recanalization of the...

We describe one of the first cases of bioresorbable vascular scaffold restenosis. We treated it like a drug-eluting stent restenosis, performing first an intracoronary optical coherence tomography scan in order to identify the left descending...

ABSTRACT: Background. A 300 mg clopidogrel loading-dose (LD) is widely used as an adjunct antithrombotic treatment to reduce the risk of thrombotic events early after coronary stenting (CS). Antithrombotic drugs commonly used during...

ABSTRACT: Background. Clopidogrel combined to aspirin reduces the early risk of stent thrombosis and a clopidogrel pre-treatment strategy is associated with a better outcome. However, in clinical practice such pre-treatment strategy is not...
