Extracorporeal cardiac shock wave therapy improves left ventricular remodeling after acute myocardial infarction in pigs.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Second-generation drug-eluting stents (DESs) have shown higher safety and efficacy compared with first-generation DESs. This effect was achieved by improving biocompatibility using an interalia cobalt-chromium construction, thinner stent struts and biodegradable polymers. OBJECTIVES:To assess clinical and a...
