Journal ArticleDOI

In vivo characterization of coronary plaques: novel findings from comparing greyscale and virtual histology intravascular ultrasound and near-infrared spectroscopy.

TL;DR: Combining NIRS with IVUS contributes to the understanding of plaque characterization in vivo, and further studies are warranted to determine whether combining NIRs and IVUS will contribute to the assessment of high-risk plaques to predict outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Frequency and risk of noncardiac surgery after drug-eluting stent implantation†

TL;DR: Noncardiac surgery is frequently needed in the years after drug‐eluting stent implantation and appears to carry a low risk of stent thrombosis and perioperative complications.
Journal Article

Frequency, treatment, and consequences of device loss and entrapment in contemporary percutaneous coronary interventions

TL;DR: Device loss can be successfully managed percutaneously, whereas device entrapment often requires emergency cardiac surgery, which is an infrequent complication of contemporary PCI.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relation between the presence and extent of coronary lipid core plaques detected by near-infrared spectroscopy with postpercutaneous coronary intervention myocardial infarction.

TL;DR: PCI of LCP-positive lesions as assessed by NIRS is associated with increased risk for MI after PCI, and N IRS may allow lesion-specific risk stratification before PCI and optimization of PCI strategies for myocardial injury risk minimization.
