Catheter Cardiovasc Interv . 2015 Aug; 87(5):E173-82. PMID: 26268440
Objectives: To analyze the feasibility and safety of direct bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) implantation without previous balloon dilation. Background: Lesion preparation through predilation is recommended before BVS implantation. There is...

EuroIntervention . 2011 Oct; 7(10):1147-54. PMID: 22030298
Aims: To analyse the ultrasound anatomy of bifurcation lesions {1,1,0},{0,1,0} and {1,0,0} of the Medina classification in order to identify predictors of angiographic side branch (SB) damage after main branch...

Medina A, Martin P, Suarez de Lezo J, Novoa J, Melian F, Hernandez E, et al.
Rev Esp Cardiol . 2010 Dec; 64(1):43-50. PMID: 21190777
Introduction And Objectives: The plaque distribution patterns in coronary bifurcation lesions are not well understood. It has been speculated that carina is free of plaque partly because of high wall...

Rev Esp Cardiol . 2009 Nov; 62(11):1240-9. PMID: 19889335
Introduction And Objectives: Percutaneous coronary intervention for ostial lesions of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) remains a complex procedure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the...

Rev Esp Cardiol . 2008 Sep; 61(9):930-5. PMID: 18775234
Introduction And Objectives: Provisional stenting has been shown to be effective in the treatment of bifurcated coronary lesions. The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in the geometry...

Arbelo E, Medina A, Bolanos J, Garcia-Quintana A, Caballero E, Delgado A, et al.
Rev Esp Cardiol . 2007 Mar; 60(2):110-6. PMID: 17338876
Introduction And Objectives: Occasionally, implanting a left ventricular pacing electrode for cardiac resynchronization therapy via the coronary sinus may be complicated by the presence of anatomical structures that obstruct the...

Pan M, de Lezo J, Medina A, Romero M, Delgado A, Segura J, et al.
Am Heart J . 2006 Dec; 153(1):15.e1-7. PMID: 17174630
Background: Drug-eluting stents have been shown to reduce restenosis in many types of lesions. The purpose of this article is to assess the efficacy of sirolimus- and paclitaxel-eluting stents in...

Medina A, de Lezo J, Pan M, Delgado A, Segura J, Pavlovic D, et al.
Tex Heart Inst J . 2005 May; 32(1):11-5. PMID: 15902815
We analyzed the clinical, angiographic, and late intravascular ultrasonographic findings from 140 patients whose in-stent restenosis was treated with sirolimus-eluting stents. In-stent restenosis remains the main limitation to percutaneous coronary...

Pan M, de Lezo J, Medina A, Romero M, Segura J, Pavlovic D, et al.
Am Heart J . 2004 Nov; 148(5):857-64. PMID: 15523318
Background: Rapamycin-eluting stents (RES) have been shown to reduce restenosis in many types of lesions. However, the ideal strategy for the treatment of coronary bifurcated lesions has not been established...

de Lezo J, Medina A, Pan M, Delgado A, Segura J, Pavlovic D, et al.
Am Heart J . 2004 Sep; 148(3):481-5. PMID: 15389236
Background: Conventional bare stents have been used to treat unprotected left main (LM) coronary artery stenosis. However, restenosis remains the main limitation. Since rapamycin-eluting stents (RES) appear to inhibit neointimal...
