Aim: To study the safety and clinical efficacy of an outpatient coronary angiography in various groups of patients according to a 6-year experience of the laboratory of endovascular diagnostic and treatment methods in the outpatient setting of the NMRC of Cardiology.
Materials And Methods: 2166 patients which underwent an outpatient coronary agiography from March 2009 to December 2014 were included. The success criteria was the successful completion of the procedure without the occurrence of major cardiovascular complications (death, transmural myocardial infarction; acute cerebrovascular accident, emergency cardiac surgery).
Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) in patients with inoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH).
Materials And Methods: Forty patients with inoperable CTEPH were enrolled in this study. The indications were determined by multidisciplinary team.
Specific Lp(a) apheresis: A tool to prove lipoprotein(a) atherogenicity.

Background: An elevated lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) level is observed in more than 30% of patients with stable ischemic heart disease (SIHD). We conducted an investigation of the effects of specific Lp(a) apheresis on the progression of atherosclerosis in SIHD patients with Lp(a) levels greater than 50 mg/dL.
Methods: We prospectively enrolled 15 patients diagnosed with SIHD based on symptom-driven coronary angiography findings, with Lp(a) ≥50 mg/dL and a low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) ≤2.
Objectives: To assess the clinical outcome of one year follow-up in patients with diffuse long lesions treated with extra-long sirolimus-eluting stents.
Methods And Results: 85 patients underwent implantation of very long BioMime stents during the period from March 2014 to February 2016.
Results: The angiographic success rate was 100%, clinical success was observed in 98.
Aim: To estimate the diagnostic value of measuring the momentary blood flow reserve (MBFR) versus the surrogate non-invasive standard (SNS) for myocardial ischemia verification (MIV) (a combination of stress echocardiography and single-photon emission computed tomography).
Subjects And Methods: The investigation enrolled 50 patients with stable angina in the presence of chronic coronary heart disease (CHD) or suspected CHD, in whom coronary angiography (CA) revealed borderline coronary stenoses (50-70% lumen diameters). The examination algorithm had two options.
Aim: to compare noninfarct-related lesions in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) with culprit and non-culprit lesions in patients with stable angina pectoris (SAP) using intravascular ultrasound virtual histology (VH-IVUS).
Material And Methods: Overall 70 patients were enrolled: 38 with ST elevation (STE) MI and 32 with stable angina pectoris (SAP). All patients underwent three-vessel coronary angiography and gray-scale and VH-IVUS after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of infarct-related lesion in STEMI or culprit lesion in SAP.
