An increased total stent length (TSL) might be associated with a higher risk of clinical events; however, in patients with multivessel disease (MVD), a considerable TSL is often required. In patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome and MVD, immediate complete revascularization was associated with shorter TSL in the BIOVASC (Immediate versus staged complete revascularisation in patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome and multivessel coronary disease) Trial. This is a subanalysis of the BIOVASC trial comparing clinical outcomes in patients with either <60 or ≥60 mm TSL.

The primary end point consisted of a composite of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, unplanned ischemia-driven revascularization, and cerebrovascular events at 1-year follow-up. The secondary end points included the individual components of the primary composite and major bleedings.

While thermotolerance is an attractive trait for yeasts used in industrial ethanol production, oxygen requirements of known thermotolerant species are incompatible with process requirements. Analysis of oxygen-sufficient and oxygen-limited chemostat cultures of the facultatively fermentative, thermotolerant species Ogataea parapolymorpha showed its minimum oxygen requirements to be an order of magnitude larger than those reported for the thermotolerant yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus. High oxygen requirements of O.
