Cost-efficacy modeling of catheter reuse for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty

TL;DR: Although reusing coronary angioplasty catheters may reduce total in-hospital costs, even a modest increase in complications requiring urgent revascularization may offset any potential savings.
Journal ArticleDOI

Abrupt closure: The CAVEAT I experience

TL;DR: Although abrupt closure is more common with directional atherectomy than angioplasty, the sequelae are similar and abrupt closure remains the principal determinant of adverse outcome after percutaneous procedures for the treatment of coronary artery disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution of improved antithrombotic and antiplatelet agents: genesis of the Comparison of Abciximab Complications with Hirulog [and back-Up Abciximab] Events Trial (CACHET).

TL;DR: The trial aims to evaluate improved anticoagulation with bivalirudin and preprocedural oral antiplatelet protection and the use of ad hoc abciximab as a basis for a practical, acceptable antithrombotic, antiplatelets strategy to improve outcomes in percutaneous coronary revascularization.
Journal ArticleDOI
