Paclitaxel‐Coated Balloon for Treating In‐Stent Restenosis in Racial and Ethnic Minority Patients: A Subanalysis From the AGENT IDE Trial [PDF]
Background Racial and ethnic minority patients have higher rates of adverse ischemic events following percutaneous coronary intervention. The impact of these disparities on the efficacy of drug‐coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty for in‐stent restenosis is ...

A rare optical coherence tomography finding of a striped, low-attenuation plaque protruding into the lumen in in-stent restenosis [PDF]
Background In-stent restenosis (ISR) remains a clinical challenge in the drug-eluting stent (DES) era. Neoatherosclerosis is a recognized mechanism, but tissue responses after drug-coated balloon (DCB) therapy may present with atypical morphologies. Case

Balloon angioplasty of cardiac vein in a patient treated by cardiac resynchronization therapy [PDF]
Introduction. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) reduces mortality and hospitalization in patients with symptomatic heart failure and left bundle branch block (LBBB) on optimal drug therapy. Among all, the reasons for “non-response” to CRT pacemaker

iFR variations during coronary angioplasty
A fifty-five year-old hypertensive and former smoker male admitted with signs of typical chest pain, left bundle brunch block, and normal troponin levels. The angiography revealed 2-vessel, left circumflex and right coronary artery disease.

Catheter-Assisted Balloon-Supported Retrieval of a Broken Semi-Compliant Balloon from a Coronary Artery [PDF]
Incidents of broken balloon in a coronary vasculature during percutaneous coronary angioplasty are very rare. Such events in cath-lab may create panic and can be life threatening for patients.

Bindarit inhibits human coronary artery smooth muscle cell proliferation, migration and phenotypic switching [PDF]
Bindarit, a selective inhibitor of monocyte chemotactic proteins (MCPs) synthesis, reduces neointimal formation in animal models of vascular injury and recently has been shown to inhibit in-stent late loss in a placebo-controlled phase II clinical trial.

Randomised trial of excimer laser angioplasty versus balloon angioplasty for treatment of obstructive coronary artery disease [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Excimer laser coronary angioplasty is reported to give excellent procedural results for treatment of complex coronary lesions, but this method has not been compared with balloon angioplasty in a randomised trial.
