Is positive Vascular Remodeling in Culprit Coronary Lesion Associated With Plaque Composition : An Intravascular Ultrasound-Virtual Histology Study?
This study suggests that PR in a culprit lesion is associated with the necrotic core volume in the entire lesion, which is a characteristic of vulnerable plaque.
The STS score outperforms the logistic EuroSCORE in predicting adverse outcomes following TAVI. The transapical approach is associated with higher perioperative mortality, but does not exert any influence on long-term prognosis beyond the periprocedural phase.
