Arterial Remodeling After Bioresorbable Scaffolds and Metallic Stents.
(2017-07-04)
BACKGROUND: Although previous observational studies have documented late luminal enlargement and expansive remodeling following implantation of a bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS), no comparison with metallic stents ...
Coronary microvascular dysfunction in patients with stable coronary artery disease: The CE-MARC 2 coronary physiology sub-study.

A flexible model for multivariate interval-censored survival times with complex correlation structure.
(2007-02-10)
We focus on the analysis of multivariate survival times with highly structured interdependency and subject to interval censoring. Such data are common in developmental genetics and genetic epidemiology. We propose a flexible ...
