Simultaneous carotid artery stenting and cardiac surgery for high-risk patients
This study tests if doing carotid artery stenting at the same time as heart surgery can help high-risk patients with both conditions recover better and have fewer complications.
-
Using PPG to Predict Heart Function in the General Population
