Third ed. Page 149: concerning distal protection : The European and Australian Multicenter Evaluative Research on Atrial Fibrillation Dofetilide (EMERALD) study .. it should be read Enhanced Myocardial Efficacy and Removal by Aspiration of Liberated Debris (EMERALD); same accronyme but not the same study. The same error is reproduced again in page 157 even in the title !! Page 211: concerning carotid stenting: SAPPHIRE = stenting and angioplasty with protection in patients at high risk for endarterectomy ; and not Systolic and Pulse Pressure Hemodynamic Improvement by Restoring Elasticity as written in the book. It's so weird because the chapper's author is Yadav who is the PI of the study! How could he make this error
