CLEVER Study: Treadmill walking performance was better with supervised exercise program than with primary stenting for claudication in aortoiliac PVD.

Various types of coronary anomalies in TOF have been described.

Tips on endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) and types of endoleak after EVAR.

NACE = net adverse clinical event(s) = MACE + major bleeding unrelated to CABG

Medina classification assigns a binary value (1,0) to the three components of a coronary bifurcation depending on whether have > (1) or < (0) 50% lesion.

Coronary bifurcations with an angle of less than 70 degrees are known as Y-shaped bifurcation and those with more than 70 degrees T-shaped bifurcation.

Rheolytic thrombectomy is done when there is contraindication to systemic thrombolysis in patients with pulmonary embolism and right ventricular dysfunction

Maximal acceptable contrast dose is calculated as 5 ml of contrast per Kg of body weight divided by the baseline serum creatinine level in mg per deciliter.

V stenting for coronary bifurcation is useful when both vessels constituting the bifurcation are involved without much involvement proximal to the carina.

About fifteen to twenty percent of the coronary interventions are for the treatment of bifurcation lesions.
