Wild ruminants, including deer species (cervids) have incorrectly been regarded as refractory to yew (Taxus) intoxication. This assumption has been based upon anecdotal observations of individual deer browsing on yew over time without apparent adverse effect. A single case of yew intoxication was
A 2-year-old bay Thoroughbred colt was found dead overnight in its stall without a known history of any illness, existing disease, or toxicant exposure. No information on the clinical signs before this animal's death was reported. A full necropsy was performed the next morning and revealed a mild to
A 53-year-old woman presented at our hospital due to nasal bleeding and petechiae with profound thrombocytopenia (0.4×109/L). Her platelet count returned to the normal range immediately following a platelet transfusion. In this case, tea brewed from Taxus yunnanensis was the only
BACKGROUND
Observational studies of new coronary stents are necessary to assess performance in a variety of complex patient and lesion types. Furthermore, the optimal dose and duration of thienopyridine treatment is unclear, particularly in patients with complex clinical conditions. The TAXUS
OBJECTIVE
This open label, prospective, non-comparative trial is the first to evaluate the safety and feasibility of bivalirudin (Angiomax(R), the Medicines Company, Parsippany, NJ), during PCI with implantation of the sirolimus eluting stent (Cypher, Cordis a J & J, Warren, NJ) or the paclitaxel
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this investigation was to determine the incidence and multivariable correlates of long-term (4-year) mortality in patients treated with surgical or percutaneous revascularization in the synergy between percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with TAXUS Express and Cardiac
This case report and subsequent literature review describes the management difficulties in a patient who developed abciximab-induced thrombocytopenia and gastrointestinal bleeding. Abciximab was used to treat the no-reflow phenomenon, which occurred during insertion of three sequential Taxus
METHODS
A 73-year-old man with NSTEMI (non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction) underwent coronary angiography and an in-stent restenosis and thrombosis in ramus circumflexus was found. A drug-eluting stent (DES) was implanted. 12 h after intervention during threefold platelet inhibition the
Women treated with the XIENCE V have improved 1-year clinical outcomes compared to women treated with TAXUS; whether benefits in women are sustained at 3 years is unknown. Three-year follow-up of the SPIRIT III trial revealed improved clinical outcomes of the XIENCE V everolimus-eluting stent
We assessed possibility of the use of low molecular heparin enoxaparin during percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) with implantation of drug eluting stents. Enoxaparin was administered to 225 (0.3 mg/kg intraarterially via catheter) and 215 (0.5 mg/kg intravenously) patients. In comparison
Evidence-based data on percutaneous coronary intervention in elderly patients with chronic total occlusion (CTO) and comparison among different scoring systems have not been well established.A total of 246 consecutive patients were stratified into two BACKGROUND
Elderly patients display higher on clopidogrel platelet reactivity as compared with younger patients. Treatment with prasugrel 5mg has been shown to provide more predictable and homogenous antiplatelet effect, as compared with clopidogrel, suggesting the possibility of reducing ischemic
BACKGROUND
Second-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) have provided better results over both bare-metal stents and first-generation DES. However, comparative data of different first- and second-generation DES in a clinical setting of all-comers have not been well studied.
RESULTS
Baseline clinical
METHODS
A 48-year-old man was admitted to our cardiac catheterization unit with severe chest pain 75 minutes after onset of symptoms. Two years before he had undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for stable angina pectoris with implantation of a drug-eluting stent (TAXUS) into the
OBJECTIVE
We sought to compare the long-term effectiveness and safety of triple antiplatelet therapy (TAPT) versus dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for unprotected left main coronary artery disease (uLMCAD).
BACKGROUND
An additional strategy to reduce
