Journal Article
Mamas. (2019). Sex differences in rates and causes of 30-day readmissions after cardiac electronic device implantations: insights from the Nationwide Readmissions Database. International Journal of Cardiology, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijcard.2019.12.012

Background

Women undergoing cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantation are at a higher risk of procedure-related complications. The present study examined sex differences in rates and causes of 30-day readmissions following CIED imp...

Journal Article
Mamas. (2019). Dedicated Bifurcation Stents for Coronary Bifurcation Lesions: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized-Controlled Trials

BACKGROUND: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of coronary bifurcation lesions (CBL) remains a challenge in contemporary practice due to the procedural and technical difficulties involved. We sought to review the current evidence on the safety...

Journal Article
Mamas, & Nolan. (2019). The Influence of the Charlson Comorbidity Index on Procedural Characteristics, VARC-2 Endpoints and 30-Day Mortality Among Patients Who Undergo Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation. Heart, Lung and Circulation, 1827-1834. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hlc.2018.11.006

BACKGROUND: Aortic stenosis (AS) is a common valvular abnormality and transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is being increasingly used to treat patients considered too high risk for conventional surgery. We aimed to assess the prevalence of...

Proximal Left Anterior Descending Artery Treatment Using a Bioresorbable Polymer Coating Sirolimus-Eluting Stent: Real-World Outcomes From the Multicenter Prospective e-Ultimaster Registry. Journal of the American Heart Association Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, https://doi.org/10.1161/JAHA.119.013786

Background Guidelines recommend heart team discussion and coronary artery bypass graft consideration in patients with proximal left anterior descending (LAD) artery stenosis. Evidence suggests that outcomes of proximal LAD angioplasty might not diffe...

Baseline risk, timing of invasive strategy and guideline compliance in NSTEMI: Nationwide analysis from MINAP. (2019)
Journal Article
Mamas, & Rashid. (2019). Baseline risk, timing of invasive strategy and guideline compliance in NSTEMI: Nationwide analysis from MINAP. International Journal of Cardiology, 7 - 13. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijcard.2019.11.146

BACKGROUND: International guidelines recommend that for NSTEMI, the timing of invasive strategy (IS) is a function of patient's baseline risk. The extent to which this is delivered across and within healthcare systems is unknown. METHODS: Data were d...

Incidence, Predictors, and Prognostic Impact of Bleeding After Hospital Discharge Following Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Cohort Study Within the Clinical Practice Research Datalink. Presented at American Heart Association's 2019 Scientific Sessions, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

Introduction: The secondary management of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with antithrombotic medication achieves the desired goal of reducing adverse ischaemic events, albeit at the expense of increased bleeding complications. However, little is known...
