Abstract Objective: First-degree atrioventricular block is frequently encountered in clinical practice and is generally considered a benign process. However, there is emerging evidence that prolonged PR interval may be associated with adverse outcome...

Disease of the proximal left anterior descending (LAD) artery is a common pathological finding often combined with disease in other coronary arteries. In this article we review specifically the evidence (and the guidelines arising from the data) for...

Impact of operator volume for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on clinical outcomes: what do the numbers say? (2016)
Journal Article

The impact of operator and centre volume on clinical outcomes and quality of care has been of considerable debate in recent years in a number of surgical- and procedural-based specialities. A relationship between higher volumes at both the institutio... Read More about Impact of operator volume for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on clinical outcomes: what do the numbers say?.

Bivalirudin, glycoprotein inhibitor and heparin use and association with outcomes of primary percutaneous coronary intervention in the United Kingdom (2015)
Journal Article

The HORIZONS trial reported a survival advantage for bivalirudin over heparin-with-glycoprotein inhibitors (GPIs) in primary PCI for ST elevation myocardial infarction. This drove an international shift in clinical practice. Subsequent studies have p...

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, https://doi.org/10.1161/CIRCINTERVENTIONS.117.005581

Background: The evidence base for coronary perforation (CP) occurring during percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with a history of bypass surgery (PCI-CABG) is limited and the long-term effects unclear. Using a national PCI database, the i...
