Assessment of Scoring Balloons in STEMI Patients Treated With DCB-Only Angioplasty: A Single Center Study. [PDF]

Health Sci Rep
ABSTRACT Background and Aims A randomized trial has previously demonstrated that neointimal modification with a scoring balloon improves the anti‐restenotic effect of drug‐coated balloon (DCB) in patients with drug‐eluting stent restenosis. There are very limited data about the safety and efficacy of using scoring balloons as part of lesion preparation

Importance of balloon size in coronary angioplasty

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 1989
The effect of balloon size on the success of coronary angioplasty was studied to develop quantitative criteria for optimal selection of balloon size. Coronary dimensions of 165 stenotic lesions were measured by computer-assisted cinevideodensitometry in 120 patients who had undergone angioplasty with a balloon selected by visual estimates.

Design of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty balloon catheters

BioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2023
Abstract Background Eight commercially available percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), including semi-compliant and non-compliant balloons, have been assessed in detail on their tip, balloon, shaft, RX-Port, and hypotube design.

Angioscopy after laser and balloon coronary angioplasty

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 1994
Percutaneous intracoronary angioscopy was used to study the morphologic changes occurring in coronary arteries after balloon or laser angioplasty.Angioscopy is thought to provide details of the coronary vessel lumen and the inner wall.Coronary lesions were studied in 44 patients with a 4.5F Imagecath angioscope before and after each interventional ...

Influence of the arterial elastic component on the response to balloon angioplasty in femoral arteries of a healthy porcine model

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study evaluates the role of elastin in vascular response 28 days after balloon angioplasty using uncoated and paclitaxel‐coated balloons in a healthy porcine model. The results show higher elastin content in external femoral arteries, which is inversely correlated with vascular injury, inflammation, smooth muscle cell loss, proteoglycan and fibrin

Endovascular Treatment of Malfunctioning Dialysis Fistulas: A Multicenter Retrospective Analysis Comparing Transradial and Conventional Transvenous Access

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Venous outflow is the favored access for endovascular management of dialysis fistulas. However, transradial access (TRA) offers advantages in specific clinical scenarios. The study aims to compare the efficacy, feasibility, and safety of TRA and transvenous access (TVA) in the endovascular management of malfunctioning dialysis ...

Enhanced Drug Effect With Cutting Balloon Followed by Drug Coated Balloon in a Rabbit Model

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Drug‐coated balloon (DCB) are effective treatment options for patients with coronary artery disease and using of scoring or cutting balloon before the DCB usage were recommended. However, the effectiveness of lesion preparation with cutting balloons (CB) followed by DCB (CB + DCB) has not been evaluated before.

Drug‐Coated Balloons Versus Non‐Coated Balloons for Side Branch Treatment in Bifurcation Lesions: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Coronary bifurcation lesions (CBL) account for ~20% of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). When using provisional stenting, optimal management of a diseased side branch (SB) remains debated. Drug‐coated balloons (DCBs) are an emerging option, but data on their role in CBL PCI are limited.

Efficacy and Safety of Intravascular Lithotripsy in the Management of Underexpanded Stents: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Stent underexpansion significantly heightens the risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE), and available treatment options for this condition remain limited. Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) technology disrupts superficial and deep calcium by using localized pulsative sonic pressure waves, emerges as a promising tool for ...
