Background/aims: Contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) is associated with adverse clinical outcomes in patients undergoing coronary interventions, particularly in patients with advanced chronic kidney. The study was aimed to assess the real-life feasibility and safety of ultra-low volume coronary procedures in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease.

Methods: A prospective study that included patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <45 mL/min/1.

Background: Drug-eluting stents with biodegradable polymer might be particularly useful in diabetic patients who are at increased risk for target lesion/target vessel revascularization. We therefore aimed at assessing the safety and performance of a biodegradable polymer sirolimus-eluting stent (BP-SES) in combination with comprehensive optimal medical therapy following coronary interventions.

Methods: This prospective, multicenter registry was conducted at six centers in Israel.

Aims: To test the efficacy and safety of a chitosan pad for femoral haemostasis as an adjunct to manual compression. Haemostasis of the femoral artery after coronary angiography by manual compression is time consuming and uncomfortable for the patient. Closure devices are costly and do not reduce vascular complication rate.

Aims: To evaluate the Prokinetic bare metal stent implanted in patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

Methods: We retrospectively studied ACS patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with a Prokinetic stent implantation. Excluded were patients presenting with cardiogenic shock, undergoing PCI to left main coronary artery (LM), or having implantation of additional stents other than Prokinetic.
