Is restraint to the left ventricle alone superior to standard restraint?
We showed previously that, with standard restraint, right ventricle tamponade develops at high restraint levels, limiting restraint therapy. We now show that restraint applied to the left ventricle alone permits increased restraint levels, without causing right ventricle or left ventricle tamponade, for greater therapeutic benefit. We conclude that partial left ventricle restraint may be more effective than standard restraint.
Aspirin resistance determined by PFA-100 does not predict new thrombotic events in patients with stable ischemic cerebrovascular disease.
