  9. Parikh K, Chag MC et al. – The ORBIT I trial evaluated the safety and performance of an orbital atherectomy system (OAS) for the treatment of de novo calcified coronary lesions. The ORBIT I trial suggests that the OAS may offer an effective method to change compliance of calcified coronary lesions to facilitate optimal stent placement in these difficult to treat patients. A larger trial is required to establish safety and overall effectiveness of the OAS in treating calcified coronary lesions. Featured on MDLinx.comsite.

Introduction to a Heart Attack

Introduction to a Heart Attack

Heart AttackA heart attack, also known as a myocardial infarction, occurs when the blood supply to a part of the heart muscle is blocked, usually due to a blood clot. This blockage prevents oxygen-rich blood from reaching that area of the heart, leading to damage or...
