Impact of vessel calcification on outcomes after coronary stenting.

TLDR
Despite the scarcity of viable cells, the late event rate in severely calcified arteries is not different from mildly calcification, and this may be due to more frequent malapposition of stents to vessel wall and augmented trauma during PCI in severely calcified arteries.

Coronary artery calcification: pathogenesis and prognostic implications.

TL;DR: Although drug-eluting stents and devices for plaque modification have modestly improved outcomes in calcified vessels, adverse event rates are still high.

Calcification in atherosclerosis

TL;DR: Whereas the presence of CAC is associated with increased risk, a zero CAC score predicts excellent short-term to mid-term prognosis, even in high-risk patients, as well as incremental prognostic value beyond traditional risk factors in various subsets of the population.

Intravascular Imaging of Coronary Calcification and Its Clinical Implications

TL;DR: This review focuses on more than 20 years of intravascular imaging studies of the relationship between calcium and coronary atherosclerosis and finds that stable coronary lesions are associated with more calcium than unstable lesions; and the amount of calcium may affect the success of percutaneous coronary intervention.

A Comparison of Balloon-Expandable-Stent Implantation with Balloon Angioplasty in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease

TL;DR: The clinical and angiographic outcomes were better in patients who received a stent than in those who received standard coronary angioplasty, however, this benefit was achieved at the cost of a significantly higher risk of vascular complications at the access site and a longer hospital stay.

Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) Trial, Phase I: A comparison between intravenous tissue plasminogen activator and intravenous streptokinase. Clinical findings through hospital discharge.

TL;DR: In patients with acute myocardial infarction, rt-PA elicited reperfusion in twice as many occluded infarct-related arteries as compared with SK at each of seven serial observations during the first 90 min after onset of treatment.

Intravascular ultrasound imaging : in vitro validation and pathologic correlation

TL;DR: Intravascular ultrasound imaging is a new method in which high resolution images of the arterial wall are obtained with use of a catheter placed within an artery, and an excellent correlation was obtained with those calculated from microscopic slides.
