Iodixanol is a new non-ionic, dimeric contrast medium (CM) which is formulated to be isotonic with blood in all clinically relevant concentrations. This is a report of a parallel, double-blind study… (More)
BACKGROUND
The erosion of the early mortality advantage of elective endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) compared with open repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm remains without a satisfactory… (More)
The acute electrophysiological and hemodynamic effects of intravenous disopyramide (1.5 mg/kg body weight) were studied in 12 patients with suspected coronary artery disease. Plasma levels of… (More)
Because survivors of thoracic aortic dissection require follow-up to detect prognostic factors such as intimal tears, persistent flow in the false lumen, and complications associated with grafts, we… (More)
OBJECTIVE

Three patients with angina pectoris are reported in whom occlusion of the left main coronary artery was found at coronary arteriography. In these three patients left ventricular function was well… (More)
Traumatic rupture of the aorta is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in rapid deceleration road traffic accidents, with an immediate mortality of 85%. Of the 15% that survive the initial… (More)
The electrophysiological effects of acebutolol were studied in 12 patients. Heart rate and systemic arterial pressure were monitored. Plasma acebutolol levels were estimated. The first 6 patients… (More)
