DEB School I
MATRIX study published on Lancet!
I proudly announce that the first results of the MATRIX trial have been published in Lancet in March!
This is multicenter, international trial that recruited >8000 ACS patients. M Valgimigli is the PI for this study. I am the PI of the northern part of Italy (consider that around 90% of the centers were italian).
This pivotal trial had several aims and randomizations, we have just published the Radial vs Femoral.
