TL;DR: A National Registry of 14 centers performing elective supported angioplasty was formed to collate the initial experience with high risk patients and a cardiopulmonary bypass system capable of providing up to 6 liters/min output was employed prophylactically.

TL;DR: A prospective study of patients with established cardiovascular disease and elevated baseline CRP in which incremental pharmacotherapy would be guided by reassessments of the CRP marker could allow formulation of a rational therapeutic strategy instead of an approach of “polypharmacy” for these patients.

TL;DR: In vitro experiments using identical culture conditions in rat, dog, and human aortic smooth muscle cells failed to show specificity as well as consistency in growth inhibitory effects that could be attributed to an antisense mechanism, pointing to the potential nonspecificity and lack of consistency of the antisense oligonucleotide to c-myb in vitro and in vivo.

TL;DR: This review will examine the core disciplines that enable high-definition medicine and project how these technologies will alter the future of medicine.

TL;DR: Abciximab treatment reduced all-cause mortality by about 20% during long-term follow-up after percutaneous coronary intervention as mentioned in this paper, and the absolute survival benefit appeared to increase over time.
