Thomas G. Brott,Thomas G. Brott,Robert W. Hobson,George Howard,Gary S. Roubin,Wayne M. Clark,William H. Brooks,Ariane Mackey,Michael D. Hill,Pierre P. Leimgruber,Alice J. Sheffet,Virginia J.

TL;DR: Among patients with symptomatic or asymptomatic carotid stenosis, the risk of the composite primary outcome of stroke, myocardial infarction, or death did not differ significantly in the group undergoing carotids-artery stenting and the group undergoes carOTid endarterectomy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Restenosis after successful coronary angioplasty in patients with single-vessel disease.
Pierre P. Leimgruber,Gary S. Roubin,Jay Hollman,George A. Cotsonis,Bernhard Meier,John S. Douglas,Spencer B. King,Andreas R. Gruentzig +7 more
TL;DR: The hemodynamic and angiographic result at the time of PTCA significantly influences long-term outcome, but additional measures aimed at reducing the rate of recurrence of atherosclerotic plaque are required.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thomas G. Brott,George Howard,Gary S. Roubin,James F. Meschia,Ariane Mackey,William H. Brooks,Wesley S. Moore,Michael D. Hill,Vito A. Mantese,Wayne M. Clark,Carlos H. Timaran,Donald Heck,Pierre P.

TL;DR: Over 10 years of follow-up, there did not find a significant difference between patients who underwent stenting and those who underwent endarterectomy with respect to the risk of periprocedural stroke, myocardial infarction, or death and subsequent ipsilateral stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI
In-hospital morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing elective coronary angioplasty.
C E Bredlau,Gary S. Roubin,Pierre P. Leimgruber,John S. Douglas,S B King rd,Andreas R. Gruentzig +5 more
TL;DR: Univariate and multivariate analysis of 3099 patients undergoing single-lesion PTCA identified five preprocedure predictors of a major complication: multivessel coronary disease, lesion eccentricity, presence of calcium in the lesion, female gender, and lesion length.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of nifedipine on recurrent stenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.
Hall B. Whitworth,Gary S. Roubin,Jay Hollman,Bernhard Meier,Pierre P. Leimgruber,John S. Douglas,Spencer B. King,Andreas R. Gruentzig +7 more
TL;DR: The study did not demonstrate a significant beneficial effect of nifedipine on the incidence of recurrent stenosis after successful percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.
