- Myocardial glucose uptake after dobutamine stress in chronic hibernating swine myocardium.
- Activation of p38 MAPK and increased glucose transport in chronic hibernating swine myocardium.
- Disparate opinions regarding indications for coronary artery revascularization before elective vascular surgery.
- Postoperative outcomes for patients undergoing elective revascularization for critical limb ischemia and intermittent claudication: a subanalysis of the Coronary Artery Revascularization Prophylaxis (CARP) trial.
- Mitochondrial adaptations within chronically ischemic swine myocardium.
- The energetic state within hibernating myocardium is normal during dobutamine despite inhibition of ATP-dependent potassium channel opening with glibenclamide.

- Diagnostic coronary angiography in patients with peripheral arterial disease: a sub-study of the Coronary Artery Revascularization Prophylaxis Trial.
- Perioperative complications after vascular surgery are predicted by the revised cardiac risk index but are not reduced in high-risk subsets with preoperative revascularization.
- Culprit coronary lesions requiring percutaneous coronary intervention after vascular surgery often arise from in-stent restenosis of bare metal stents.
