Heart . 2003 Jul; 89(8):887-92. PMID: 12860866
Background: Earlier angiographic studies have suggested that calcium antagonists may prevent the formation of new coronary lesions and the progression of minimal lesions. Conversely, a meta-analysis suggested that these drugs...

Dens J, Desmet W, Coussement P, De Scheerder I, Kostopoulos K, Kerdsinchai P, et al.
Am J Cardiol . 2001 Jan; 87(1):28-33. PMID: 11137829
The NIsoldipine in COronary artery disease in LEuven (NICOLE) study investigates (1) whether nisoldipine, a dihydropyridine calcium antagonist, reduces the progression of minor coronary arterial lesions in the long term,...

Am Heart J . 1998 Aug; 136(2):345-51. PMID: 9704700
Background: Recently, long (> or =20 mm) coronary stents were introduced for clinical use. They are intended as an alternative to multiple conventional stents to treat extensive dissections or suboptimal...

De Scheerder I, Wang K, Kerdsinchai P, Desmet W, Dens J, Supanantaroek C, et al.
Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn . 1997 Nov; 42(3):339-47. PMID: 9367119
To defray the escalating costs of coronary stenting, we handmade a balloon-expandable, stainless steel stent, which after experimental evaluation, was implanted in 156 patients undergoing PTCA complicated by a major...

Desmet W, De Scheerder I, Barrios L, Piessens J
Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn . 1997 May; 41(1):5-11. PMID: 9143758
We randomized 800 patients in a prospective study comparing the angiographic results, device usage and in-hospital outcome of balloon angioplasty of primary stenoses of native coronary vessels with low-compliant and...

De Scheerder I, Wang K, Kerdsinchai P, Verbeken E, Desmet W, Dens J, et al.
Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn . 1996 Oct; 39(2):191-6. PMID: 8922324
To defray the escalating cost of coronary stenting, we handmade a balloon expandable coil stent with stainless steel wire. Preliminary comparison with the Palmaz-Schatz stent showed that, when implanted in...

Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn . 1994 Aug; 32(4):303-9. PMID: 7987907
To assess the importance of balloon material used for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), we compared the complication rates observed with low complaint plastomer (PM 300), intermediately compliant polyethylene (PE...

Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn . 1993 Feb; 28(2):99-105. PMID: 8448808
An increasing body of evidence suggests that the potential for thrombotic complications is greater with nonionic than with ionic contrast agents. This is a particularly important consideration in the highly...
