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
Continued benefit from paclitaxel-eluting compared with bare-metal stent implantation in saphenous vein graft lesions during long-term follow-up of the SOS (Stenting of Saphenous Vein Grafts) trial

Brilakis,Christopher Lichtenwalter,Christopher Lichtenwalter,Abdul Rahman R Abdel-Karim,Abdul Rahman R Abdel-Karim,James A. de Lemos,Owen Obel,Owen Obel,Tayo Addo,Michele Roesle,Donald Haagen,Bavana V.

TL;DR: During long-term follow-up, use of PES was associated with significantly better clinical outcomes than BMS in SVG lesions, compared with patients randomized to BMS.
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
Jose Miguel Iturbe,Abdul Rahman R Abdel-Karim,Aristotelis Papayannis,Arif Mahmood,Bavana V. Rangan,Subhash Banerjee,Emmanouil S. Brilakis +6 more
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.
Deepa Raghunathan,Abdul Rahman R Abdel-Karim,Aristotelis Papayannis,Monica daSilva,Omar M. Jeroudi,Bavana V. Rangan,Subhash Banerjee,Emmanouil S. Brilakis +7 more
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.
