Cangrelor reduces the risk of ischemic complications in patients with single-vessel and multi-vessel disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: Insights from the CHAMPION PHOENIX trial
Conclusion In the CHAMPION PHOENIX trial, MVD and SVD patients had similar ischemic outcomes at 48hours and 30days. Cangrelor consistently reduced ischemic complications in both SVD and MVD patients without a significant increase in GUSTO severe bleeding. Clinical perspectives What's known? Cangrelor is a novel, intravenous, potent, and rapidly acting P2Y12 inhibitor that has been demonstrated to reduce the rate of ischemic events at 48hours in patients who received PCI compared with clopidogrel. What's new? In contrast to prior studies, we found that in this modern cohort, patients with SVD and MVD had a similar risk of i...

Simplified prediction of postoperative cardiac surgery outcomes with a novel score: R2CHADS2
Conclusion The R2CHADS2 score estimates postoperative events with acceptable accuracy and if further validated may be used as a simple preoperative risk tool calculator.
