TL;DR: It is suggested that echolucent plaques are easier to resect than are echogenic plaques but frequently develop restenosis, and the resection of echogenesis plaques, although often incomplete, is associated with better long-term results.

TL;DR: Later occlusion or progression at origin of a side branch covered by a Palmaz-Schatz stent seems to be an uncommon occurrence (7% and 12% respectively) that cannot be predicted by angiographic or clinical factors and regression at follow-up of aSide branch-origin stenosis can also come about.

TL;DR: Evaluating the potential role of adjunctive coronary stenting after initial recanalization in 30 patients with nonacute coronary total occlusion found that patients with initial successful results have an increased propensity toward restenosis or reocclusion.

TL;DR: The histopathology and the clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic aspects of hemangiomas are discussed and a selected overview of the literature on surgically treated patients is included.

TL;DR: An easy and fast method of stent capture when detachment from the balloon has happened (pulling back the stent-loaded balloon into the guiding catheter or femoral sheath), using the coronary guide-wire "as a guide" to capture coaxially the lost stent.
