TLDR
In long-term follow-up, surgery does not reduce the occurrence of myocardial infarction or angina compared with medical therapy, and a substantial number of patients do not fit into the criteria adopted for entry into the revascularization trials--a point that is all too frequently forgotten.About:

TL;DR: It is important that the medical profession play a significant role in critically evaluating the use of diagnostic procedures and therapies in the management or prevention of disease states.

TL;DR: These guidelines are arbitrarily divided into 4 sections: diagnosis, risk stratification, treatment, and patient follow-up, which are helpful and facilitate the presentation and analysis of the available evidence.

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to assess the influence of race on the treatment and survival of patients with colorectal carcinoma.

Impact of waiting time on the quality of life of patients awaiting coronary artery bypass grafting
TL;DR: By decreasing waiting times for CABG, this work may improve patients' quality of life and decrease the psychological morbidity associated with CABGs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Priority points and cardiac events while waiting for coronary bypass surgery
TL;DR: Very long waiting times for CABG are associated with frequent cardiac events, at considerable cost to both patients and health care providers, and priority scores did not predict clinical events while waiting.

A Comparison of Balloon-Expandable-Stent Implantation with Balloon Angioplasty in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease
Patrick W. Serruys,P. de Jaegere,Ferdinand Kiemeneij,Carlos Macaya,Wolfgang Rutsch,Gr. Heyndrickx,H. Emanuelsson,Jean Marco,Victor Legrand,P. Materne +9 more
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.

TL;DR: In selected patients, placement of an intracoronary stent, as compared with balloon angioplasty, results in an improved rate of procedural success, a lower rate of angiographically detected restenosis, a similar rate of clinical events after six months, and a less frequent need for revascularization of the original coronary lesion.

Effectiveness of intravenous thrombolytic treatment in acute myocardial infarction
TL;DR: SK seems to be a safe drug for routine administration in acute myocardial infarction in patients admitted within 12 h after the onset of symptoms and with no contraindications to SK when randomised to receive SK in addition to usual treatment.

TL;DR: A strategy of initial CABG surgery is associated with lower mortality than one of medical management with delayed surgery if necessary, especially in high-risk and medium- risk patients with stable coronary heart disease, and in low-risk patients, the limited data show a non-significant trend towards greater mortality with CABGs.

TL;DR: As compared with t-PA therapy for acute myocardial infarction, immediate PTCA reduced the combined occurrence of nonfatal reinfarction or death, was associated with a lower rate of intracranial hemorrhage, and resulted in similar left ventricular systolic function.
