TLDR
Improved results with percutaneous revascularization in 1991 have important implications for patient care and interpretation of ongoing randomized trials enrolling patients in the late 1980s and intending to compare standard coronary angioplasty with other forms of therapy.

TL;DR: It is found that in selected patients with multivessel disease suitable for treatment with either procedure, an initial strategy of PTCA does not result in a poorer five-year clinical outcome than CABG, although subsequent revascularization was required more often with this strategy.

John A. Bittl
- 24 Oct 1996 - 
TL;DR: Clinical trials have shown that the implantation of coronary stents or treatment with blockers of platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptors10–12 reduces the occurrence of acute myocardial infarction.

Implications of small reference vessel diameter in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary revascularization.

Heribert Schunkert, +2 more
- 01 Jul 1999 - 
TL;DR: Lesions in vessels with small reference diameter represent a distinct group with respect to clinical and morphologic characteristics as well as device utilization and have lower chances of successful percutaneous intervention and carry relatively higher risks, specifically when located in proximal coronary segments.

Intravascular stents to prevent occlusion and restenosis after transluminal angioplasty

Ulrich Sigwart, +4 more
- 19 Mar 1987 - 
TL;DR: Experiments in animals showed complete intimal coverage within weeks and no late thrombosis during a follow-up period of up to one year, and preliminary experience suggests that this vascular endoprosthesis may offer a useful way to prevent occlusion and restenosis after transluminal angioplasty.

- 01 Apr 1986 - 
TL;DR: A design is proposed which involves covariate data only for cases experiencing failure and for members of a randomly selected subcohort, which has relevance to epidemiologic cohort studies and disease prevention trials.

TL;DR: The stenosis characteristics of chronic total occlusion, high grade stenosis, stenosis bend of more than 60 degrees, and excessive tortuosity were particularly predictive of adverse procedural outcome.

TL;DR: Restenosis is most prevalent between 1 and 3 months and rarely occurs beyond 3 months after coronary angioplasty and reached a plateau thereafter.
