A Randomized Comparison of Coronary-Stent Placement and Balloon Angioplasty in the Treatment of Coronary Artery Disease
David L. Fischman,Martin B. Leon,Donald S. Baim,Richard A. Schatz,Michael P. Savage,Ian M. Penn,Katherine D. Detre,Lisa Veltri,Donald R. Ricci,Masakiyo Nobuyoshi,Michael W. Cleman,Richard R. Heuser,David Almond,Paul S. Teirstein,R. David Fish,Antonio Colombo,Jeffrey C. Brinker,Jeffrey Moses,Alex Shaknovich,John N. Hirshfeld,Stephen Bailey,Stephen E. Ellis,Randal Rake,Sheldon Goldberg +23 more
TL;DR: In selected patients, placement of an intracoronary stent, as compared with balloon angioplasty, results in an improved rate of procedural success, a lower rate of angiographically detected restenosis, a similar rate of clinical events after six months, and a less frequent need for revascularization of the original coronary lesion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stent placement compared with balloon angioplasty for obstructed coronary bypass grafts
Michael P. Savage,John S. Douglas,David L. Fischman,Carl J. Pepine,Spencer B. King,Jeffrey A. Werner,Steven R. Bailey,Paul Overlie,Sarah H. Fenton,Jeffrey A. Brinker,Martin B. Leon,Sheldon Goldberg,Richard R. Heuser,Richard W. Smalling,Robert D. Safian,Michael W. Cleman,Maurice Buchbinder,David Snead,Randal Rake,Sharon Gebhardt +19 more
TL;DR: Compared with balloon angioplasty, stenting of selected venous bypass-graft lesions resulted in superior procedural outcomes, a larger gain in luminal diameter, and a reduction in major cardiac events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Restenosis after placement of Palmaz-Schatz stents in native coronary arteries. Initial results of a multicenter experience.
Stephen G. Ellis,M. Savage,David L. Fischman,D S Baim,M Leon,Sheldon Goldberg,J W Hirshfeld,M W Cleman,P S Teirstein,C Walker +9 more
TL;DR: Although multiple stents appear to yield a poor long-term result, placement of single stents may offer a benefit compared with standard coronary angioplasty, particularly if an excellent angio-graphic result can be obtained in patients without prior restenosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Results of prevention of REStenosis with tranilast and its outcomes (PRESTO) trial
David R. Holmes,Michael P. Savage,J. M. LaBlanche,Lars Grip,Patrick W. Serruys,Peter J. Fitzgerald,David L. Fischman,Sheldon Goldberg,Jeffrey A. Brinker,A. M. Zeiher,Leonard M. Shapiro,James T. Willerson,Barry R. Davis,James J. Ferguson,Jeffrey J. Popma,Spencer B. King,A. Michael Lincoff,James E. Tcheng,Robert Chan,Granett Jeffrey R,Marcia Poland +20 more
TL;DR: Tranilast does not improve the quantitative measures of restenosis (angiographic and intravascular ultrasound) or its clinical sequelae and is not able to reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emergent use of balloon-expandable coronary artery stenting for failed percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.
Howard C. Herrmann,M Buchbinder,M W Clemen,David L. Fischman,Sheldon Goldberg,M B Leon,R A Schatz,P Tierstein,C M Walker,John W. Hirshfeld +9 more
TL;DR: Emergency stenting may be a useful and effective treatment for failed angioplasty and patients who receive stents on an emergency basis, particularly those with previous acute occlusion, should be considered to be at greater than usual risk for complications and receive more careful anticoagulation and follow-up.
