Background: Ultrathin-strut stents are considered the future of percutaneous coronary intervention for treating coronary artery disease (CAD). These drug-eluting stents with biodegradable-polymer technology have the potential to improve clinical outcomes in CAD patients.
Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the safety and performance of newer-generation ultrathin-strut (50 µm) Evermine50 everolimus-eluting stents (EES) in patients with single or multiple long lesions.
Air travel is implicated as a predisposing factor for thromboembolism, which at times can have catastrophic consequences. We present 3 cases who developed deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and subsequent pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) after transatlantic air travel. The relevant literature is discussed.

We report a case with significant atherosclerotic disease of right coronary artery and left anterior descending artery associated with a muscle bridge, proximal to the diseased segment which became more prominent after stenting the fixed lesion. This was managed by implanting another drug eluting stent, covering the bridge.

Methods And Results: To ascertain the quality of angiographic images and safety of early ambulation, 500 patients were randomized to coronary angiography with either 4 F or 6 F catheters. Procedural characteristics, angiographic quality scores and results of ambulation were analyzed in the two groups.
