Journal ArticleDOI
Coronary Angioscopy in Patients with Unstable Angina Pectoris
Sherman Ct,Frank Litvack,Warren S. Grundfest,Myles Edwin Lee,A. Hickey,Aurelio Chaux,Robert M. Kass,Carlos Blanche,Jack M. Matloff,Morgenstern L +9 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that angioscopy frequently reveals complex plaques or thrombi not detected by coronary angiography, which suggests that anginal syndromes that are refractory to medical treatment can be caused by unstable pathologic processes in the intima.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intracoronary thrombolysis in evolving myocardial infarction
William Ganz,Neil A. Buchbinder,Harold S. Marcus,Avinash Mondkar,Jamshid Maddahi,Yzhar Charuzi,Lawrence O'Connor,William E. Shell,Michael C. Fishbein,Robert M. Kass,Alfonso Tadaomi Miyamoto,H.J.C. Swan +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a 0.85 mm outer diameter catheter advanced through the lumen of the Judkins catheter was used to infuse Thrombolysin (streptokinase and plasmin) in 20 patients with evolving myocardial infarction who were hospitalized within 3 hours from the onset of symptoms during the day and within 2 hours at night.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery With Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Drug-Eluting Stents for Unprotected Left Main Coronary Artery Disease
Michael S. Lee,Nikhil Kapoor,Faizi Jamal,Lawrence S.C. Czer,Joseph Aragon,James S. Forrester,Saibal Kar,Suhail Dohad,Robert M. Kass,Neal L. Eigler,Alfredo Trento,Prediman K. Shah,Raj Makkar +12 more
TL;DR: PCI with DES for ULMCA disease was not associated with an increase in immediate or medium-term complications compared with CABG, and the data suggest that a randomized comparison between the two revascularization strategies for U LMCA may be warranted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Twenty-year comparison of tissue and mechanical valve replacement.
Steven S. Khan,Alfredo Trento,Michele DeRobertis,Robert M. Kass,Meenu Sandhu,Lawrence S.C. Czer,Carlos Blanche,Sharo Raissi,Gregory P. Fontana,Wen Cheng,Aurelio Chaux,Jack M. Matloff +11 more
TL;DR: Tissue and mechanical valve recipients have similar survival over 20 years of follow-up and the primary tradeoff is an increased risk of hemorrhage in patients receiving mechanical aortic valve replacements and an increasedrisk of late reoperation in all patients receiving tissue valve replacements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Discrimination of ventricular tachycardia from sinus tachycardia and atrial fibrillation in a tiered-therapy cardioverter-defibrillator
Charles D. Swerdlow,Charles D. Swerdlow,Peng Sheng Chen,Robert M. Kass,Jean R. Allard,C. Thomas Peter +5 more
TL;DR: The Medtronic PCD's onset and stability criteria reduced inappropriate detection of atrial fibrillation and sinus acceleration while detecting 99.5% of ventricular tachycardias.
