Oxymorphone re-evaluated. The addition of a respiratory antagonist.
Abstract 1. In a double blind study, 1,022 patients in labor were given meperidine and oxymorphone with and without simultaneous administration of a respiratory antagonist. 2. No statistical difference was found in infant breathing and crying time or perinatal survival regardless of analgesic employed, with or without the addition of the respiratory antagonist. 3. Oxymorphone compares well with meperidine as an obstetric analgesic.
The aim of our study is to characterize, using OCT, the morphologic features of calcific plaques after rotational atherectomy, adjunctive balloon angioplasty and stenting. ::: ::: A total of 57 consecutive patients who had undergone angioplasty using rotational atherectomy were included. The 67 lesions
