Journal ArticleDOI
Coronary morphologic and clinical determinants of procedural outcome with angioplasty for multivessel coronary disease. Implications for patient selection. Multivessel Angioplasty Prognosis Study Group.
Stephen G. Ellis,Michel G. Vandormael,Michael J. Cowley,Germano DiSciascio,Ubeydullah Deligonul,Eric J. Topol,Thomas M. Bulle +6 more
TL;DR: The stenosis characteristics of chronic total occlusion, high grade stenosis, stenosis bend of more than 60 degrees, and excessive tortuosity were particularly predictive of adverse procedural outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coronary angioplasty, atherectomy and bypass surgery in cardiac transplant recipients.
A. Arthur Halle,Germano DiSciascio,Edward K. Massin,Robert F. Wilson,Maryl R. Johnson,Henry J. Sullivan,Robert C. Bourge,Neal S. Kleiman,Leslie W. Miller,Thomas Aversano,Robert B. Wray,Sharon A. Hunt,Mark W. Weston,Ross A. Davies,Gustavo Rincon,Chauncey C. Crandall,Michael J. Cowley,Spencer H. Kubo,Susan G. Fisher,George W. Vetrovec +19 more
TL;DR: Coronary revascularization may be an effective palliative therapy in suitable cardiac transplant recipients and angioplasty has an acceptable survival in patients without angiographic distal arteriopathy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coronary angioplasty of multiple vessels: short-term outcome and long-term results.
Michael J. Cowley,George W. Vetrovec,Germano DiSciascio,S A Lewis,Paul D. Hirsh,T C Wolfgang +5 more
TL;DR: Experience with percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) of multiple vessels was reviewed to assess short-term outcome and long-term results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determinants of 2-year outcome after coronary angioplasty in patients with multivessel disease on the basis of comprehensive preprocedural evaluation. Implications for patient selection. The Multivessel Angioplasty Prognosis Study Group.
Stephen G. Ellis,Michael J. Cowley,Germano DiSciascio,Ubeydullah Deligonul,Eric J. Topol,Thomas M. Bulle,Michel G. Vandormael +6 more
TL;DR: Recognition of risk factors for poor long-term outcome in this setting may improve clinical decision making and provide a framework on which to base meaningful subgroup analyses in randomized trials assessing the efficacy of coronary angioplasty.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prospective case-control comparison of percutaneous transluminal coronary revascularization in patients with multivessel disease treated in 1986–1987 versus 1991: Improved in-hospital and 12-month results
Stephen G. Ellis,Michael J. Cowley,Patrick L. Whitlow,Michel Vandormael,A. Michael Lincoff,Germano DiSciascio,Larry S. Dean,Eric J. Topol +7 more
TL;DR: Improved results with percutaneous revascularization in 1991 have important implications for patient care and interpretation of ongoing randomized trials enrolling patients in the late 1980s and intending to compare standard coronary angioplasty with other forms of therapy.
