Journal ArticleDOI
A Comparison of Directional Atherectomy with Coronary Angioplasty in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease
Eric J. Topol,Ferdinand Leya,Cass A. Pinkerton,Patrick L. Whitlow,Berthold Höfling,Charles A. Simonton,Ronald Masden,Patrick W. Serruys,Martin B. Leon,David O. Williams,Spencer B. King,Daniel B. Mark,Jeffrey M. Isner,David R. Holmes,Stephen G. Ellis,Kerry L. Lee,Gordon Keeler,Lisa G. Berdan,Tomoaki Hinohara,Robert M. Califf +19 more
TL;DR: Removing coronary artery plaque with atherectomy led to a larger luminal diameter and a small reduction in angiographic restenosis, the latter being confined largely to the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multicenter investigation of coronary stenting to treat acute or threatened closure after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty: Clinical and angiographic outcomes
Barry S. George,Gary S. Roubin,Neal E. Fearnot,Cass A. Pinkerton,Albert E. Raizner,Spencer B. King,David R. Holmes,Eric J. Topol,Dean J. Kereiakes,Geoffrey O. Hartzler,William D. Voorhees +10 more
TL;DR: The early multicenter experience suggests that the Gianturco-Roubin flexible coronary stent is a useful adjunct to coronary angioplasty to prevent or minimize complications associated with flow-limiting coronary artery dissections previously correctable only by surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coronary arterial thrombolysis with combined infusion of recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator and urokinase in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
Eric J. Topol,Robert M. Califf,Barry S. George,Dean J. Kereiakes,D Rothbaum,Richard J. Candela,C W Abbotsmith,Cass A. Pinkerton,David C. Stump,D Collen +9 more
TL;DR: To determine whether tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) and urokinase (UK) act synergistically to achieve coronary thrombolysis, incremental doses of both drugs were infused intravenously over 60 min to determine patency and reocclusion rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Multicenter, Randomized Trial of Coronary Angioplasty Versus Directional Atherectomy for Patients With Saphenous Vein Bypass Graft Lesions
David R. Holmes,Eric J. Topol,Robert M. Califf,Lisa G. Berdan,Ferdinand Leya,Peter B. Berger,Patrick L. Whitlow,Robert D. Safian,Allan G. Adelman,Mirle A. Kellett,J. David Talley,Jacob Shani,Ronald S. Gottlieb,Cass A. Pinkerton,Kerry L. Lee,Gordon Keeler,Stephen G. Ellis +16 more
TL;DR: Athrectomy of de novo vein graft lesions was associated with improved initial angiographic success and luminal diameter but also with increased distal embolization, and primary atherectomy patients tended to require fewer target-vessel revascularization procedures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intravascular ultrasound: a histological study of vessels during life. The new 'gold standard' for vascular imaging.
TL;DR: Several in vitro and in vivo studies of arterial vessels (with and without histology) have confirmed the ultrasonic appearance of these arterial structures and have validated measurements of layer thickness and luminal cross-sectional area.
