TL;DR: A recombinant ApoA-I Milano/phospholipid complex administered intravenously for 5 doses at weekly intervals produced significant regression of coronary atherosclerosis as measured by IVUS, and results require confirmation in larger clinical trials with morbidity and mortality end points.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that RAGE/ligand interaction plays a key role in neointimal formation after vascular injury irrespective of diabetes status and suggest a novel target to minimize neointedimal hyperplasia.

TL;DR: Increased cell-associated MMP-3 staining was associated with positive arterial remodeling in the coronary lesions of 35 patients, and was significantly more common in lesions with positive than negative and/or intermediate remodeling.

TL;DR: Two cases of guidewire‐related distal coronary artery perforation are reported, successfully treated using a new technique using localized, distal intracoronary thrombin injection during prolonged low‐pressure balloon inflation.

TL;DR: An increase in death or myocardial infarction occurs in the 12 hours after heparin discontinuation in patients with acute coronary syndromes, and this rebound is attenuated by glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibition with eptifibatide.
