Volumeric analysis of in-stent intimal hyperplasia in diabetic patients treated with or without abciximab: Results of the DANTE randomized trial

Systemic Inflammation and Metabolic Syndrome in Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy

“…The volume (cubic millimeters) of the vessel, lumen and plaque were obtained and calculated as previously described. 15 Each measured volume was normalized to the examined segment length (cubic millimeters per millimeter) to compensate for the difference in examined vessel segment length in study patients. A plaque index was calculated as: (plaque volume/vessel volume) ϫ 100%.…”

Acute Cellular Rejection and the Subsequent Development of Allograft Vasculopathy After Cardiac Transplantation

“…Off-line volumetric analysis of the 3D IVUS and VH-IVUS data was performed by 2 experienced operators blinded to clinical findings. Plaque volume (PV) was calculated as previously described 21 and normalized to the examined segment length (PV/SL mm 3 /mm). A plaque index (PI) was calculated as plaque volume/vessel volume ϫ 100%.…”

Efficacy and Safety of Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Inhibitors During Elective Coronary Revascularization

“…Safety. Major bleeding was reported in all but 7 trials (27)(28)(29)(30)(32)(33)(34). The incidence of major bleeding was 1.2% with GPI versus 0.9% with control (RR: 1.37, 95% CI: 0.83 to 2.25, p ϭ 0.22) (Fig.…”

“…1, Table 1) (10,11,(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40). The studies examined a variety of clinical outcomes, including 7 that used a nonclinical primary outcome (Table 2) (23,24,26,27,30,32,34). Details of GPI administration and adjuvant medications are listed in Table 3.…”
