TL;DR: In this paper, the authors randomly assigned patients at increased risk for perioperative cardiac complications and clinically significant coronary artery disease to undergo either revascularization or no revascularisation before elective major vascular surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Freischlag,Dennis F. Bandyk +23 more
TL;DR: The rate of death from any cause, the primary outcome, was not significantly different in the two groups (relative risk in the immediate-repair group as compared with the surveillance group), and the rate of repair had been performed in 92.6 percent of the patients in the immediately- Repair group and 61.6% of those in the Surveillance group.
Journal ArticleDOI

Frank A. Lederle,Gary R. Johnson,Samuel E. Wilson,David J. Ballard,William D. Jordan,John Blebea,Fred N. Littooy,Julie A. Freischlag,Dennis F. Bandyk,Joseph H. Rapp,Atef Salam +10 more
TL;DR: The rupture rate is substantial in high-operative-risk patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm of at least 5.5 cm in diameter and increases with larger diameter.
Journal ArticleDOI

Max Wintermark,Sumayya Jawadi,Joseph H. Rapp,Tarik Tihan,Elizabeth Tong,David V. Glidden,S. Abedin,Sarah Schaeffer,Gabriel Acevedo-Bolton,Benjamin M. Boudignon,Benjamin Orwoll,Xian-Mang Pan,David Saloner +12 more
TL;DR: The composition of carotid atherosclerotic plaques determined by CTA reflects plaque composition defined by histologic examination, as determined by a computer algorithm based on the density of each pixel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Triglyceride-rich lipoproteins isolated by selected-affinity anti-apolipoprotein B immunosorption from human atherosclerotic plaque.
Joseph H. Rapp,A Lespine,Robert L. Hamilton,N Colyvas,A H Chaumeton,J Tweedie-Hardman,Leila Kotite,Steven T. Kunitake,Richard J. Havel,John P. Kane +9 more
TL;DR: Whether very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) can enter and become incorporated into the atherosclerotic lesion and how plaque apoB-containing lipoproteins differ from apoBs isolated from plasma are determined.
