Open-heart bypass surgery and less invasive procedure show similar outcomes in heart disease study
In sharp contrast to earlier studies, patients with severe triple-vessel heart disease fared equally well whether they underwent open-heart bypass surgery (CABG) or a less invasive procedure called ...
The primary efficacy endpoint of clinically-relevant bleeding, defined as BARC types 2, 3 or 5 bleeding, was assessed in the intention-to-treat population between one-month and twelve-months post-PCI ...
During a heart angioplasty, a doctor uses a catheter with a balloon to open a narrowed blood vessel in the heart. Typically, they insert a stent during the procedure. A stent is a mesh tube designed ...
