Carotid artery stenting outcomes in high-risk patients receiving best medical therapy: results from a single high-volume interventional cardiology practice
Kontext: Implantace stentů do karotických tepen (carotid artery stenting, CAS) se v soucasnosti ve velkem měřitku použiva v lecbě stenozy karotických tepen. Klinicke studie z posledni doby prokazaly nizkou incidenci přihod po CAS. Tato studie hodnoti 30denni a rocni výsledky pacientů lecených pro CAS intenzivni farmakoterapii na pracovisti provadějicim vysoke pocty perkutannich koronarnich intervenci rocně.Metoda: V obdobi od ledna 2011 do prosince 2013 byla CAS provedena celkem u 184 pacientů.

Transcatheter Vs. Surgical Closure of Atrial Septal Defects in Adults
Abstract Percutaneous transcatheter device closure of secundum atrial septal defects (ASD) has now largely replaced surgical closure in most centres.
