Journal ArticleDOI
Restenosis of Drug-Eluting Stents: A New Classification System Based on Disease Mechanism to Guide Treatment and State-of-the-Art Review.
TL;DR: An algorithmic approach, guided by intracoronary imaging, for the treatment of DES-ISR, is recommended based on the specific cause of restenosis, which differentiates among mechanical, biological, and mixed etiologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
State of the art: evolving concepts in the treatment of heavily calcified and undilatable coronary stenoses - from debulking to plaque modification, a 40-year-long journey.
Emanuele Barbato,Evan Shlofmitz,Anastasios Milkas,Richard Shlofmitz,Lorenzo Azzalini,Antonio Colombo +5 more
TL;DR: A 40-year-long journey that has evolved from the initial stand-alone debulking strategy to the currently applied coronary plaque modification is described, with the main objective of optimising drug-eluting stent delivery and implantation, translating into significantly improved patient outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Orbital atherectomy for the treatment of severely calcified coronary lesions: evidence, technique, and best practices
Evan Shlofmitz,Brad J. Martinsen,Michael S. Lee,Sunil V. Rao,Philippe Généreux,Philippe Généreux,Joe Higgins,Jeffrey W. Chambers,Ajay J. Kirtane,Emmanouil S. Brilakis,David E. Kandzari,Samin K. Sharma,Richard Shlofmitz +12 more
TL;DR: The OAS technique tips reviewed in this article will help inform interventional cardiologists treating patients with severely calcified lesions and improve long-term outcomes by reducing need for revascularization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Real-World Multicenter Registry of Patients with Severe Coronary Artery Calcification Undergoing Orbital Atherectomy.
Michael S. Lee,Evan Shlofmitz,Barry M. Kaplan,Dragoş Ovidiu Alexandru,Perwaiz Meraj,Richard Shlofmitz +5 more
TL;DR: In the largest real‐world study of patients who underwent orbital atherectomy, including high‐risk patients who were not surgical candidates as well as those with very complex coronary anatomy, acute and short‐term adverse clinical event rates were low.
Journal ArticleDOI
COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) and the Heart - An Ominous Association.
Nauman Khalid,Yuefeng Chen,Brian C. Case,Evan Shlofmitz,Jason P. Wermers,Toby Rogers,Itsik Ben-Dor,Ron Waksman +7 more
TL;DR: 2 cases of COVID-19 infection with myocardial involvement with distinct mechanistic pathways and outcomes are presented and important decision strategies such as the timing of cardiac catheterization and requirement of early hemodynamic support in critically ill patients are discussed.
