Journal ArticleDOI
The Medicine, Angioplasty or Surgery Study (MASS): A prospective, randomized trial of medical therapy, balloon angioplasty or bypass surgery for single proximal left anterior descending artery stenoses
Whady Hueb,Giovanni Bellotti,Sérgio Almeida de Oliveira,Shiguemituzo Arie,Cicero Piva de Albuquerque,Adib D Jatene,Fulvio Pileggi +6 more
TL;DR: The more aggressive therapeutic approach with initial bypass surgery for patients with a single severe proximal stenosis of the left anterior descending coronary artery is associated with a lower incidence of medium-term adverse events than coronary angioplasty or medical treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlation between Trypanosoma cruzi parasitism and myocardial inflammatory infiltrate in human chronic chagasic myocarditis: Light microscopy and immunohistochemical findings.
Maria de Lourdes Higuchi,Thales de Brito,Marcia Martins Reis,Alfredo Barbosa,Giovanni Bellotti,Antonio Carlos Pereira-Barreto,Fulvio Pileggi +6 more
TL;DR: The striking correlation between the presence of T. cruzi antigen(s) with the severity of site of the inflammatory infiltrate supports a direct role for the parasite in the perpetuation of myocardial inflammation in Chagas' disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhaled nitric oxide leading to pulmonary edema in stable severe heart failure.
Edimar Alcides Bocchi,Fernando Bacal,José-Otávio Costa Auler,Maria José de Carvalho Carmone,Giovanni Bellotti,Fulvio Pileggi +5 more
TL;DR: The absence of pulmonary edema in these patients in the nitroprusside study reinforces the importance of selective nitric oxide effects in pulmonary circulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Autoimmunity in Chagas disease cardiopathy: biological relevance of a cardiac myosin-specific epitope crossreactive to an immunodominant Trypanosoma cruzi antigen.
Edecio Cunha-Neto,M A Duranti,Arthur Gruber,Bianca Zingales,I De Messias,Noedir Antônio Groppo Stolf,Giovanni Bellotti,M E Patarroyo,Pilleggi F,Jorge Kalil +9 more
TL;DR: The recognition of a heart-specific T. cruzi crossreactive epitope, in strong association with the presence of chronic heart lesions, suggests the involvement of crossreactivity between cardiac myosin and B13 in the pathogenesis of CCC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sildenafil effects on exercise, neurohormonal activation, and erectile dysfunction in congestive heart failure: a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study followed by a prospective treatment for erectile dysfunction.
Edimar Alcides Bocchi,Guilherme Veiga Guimarães,Amilcar O. Mocelin,Fernando Bacal,Giovanni Bellotti,José Antonio Franchini Ramires +5 more
TL;DR: Sildenafil was tolerated and effective for ED treatment in CHF, and improved the exercise capacity, which could theoretically decrease the myocardial oxygen consumption during sexual activity.
