FLEXIBILITY TEST OF THE TOOLS OF ANGIOPLASTY [PDF]
Coronary angioplasty is a procedure used to treat the narrowed coronary arteries. Physicians operate with many different tools during the intervention, the main devices are the following: guidewires, guiding catheters, balloon catheters and stents.

Drug‐Coated Balloons Versus Drug‐Eluting Stents or Plain Old Balloon Angioplasty: A Long‐Term in‐Stent Restenosis Study [PDF]
Background Balloon angioplasty with drug‐coated balloons (DCBs) is frequently used during percutaneous coronary intervention for in‐stent restenosis. Despite its frequent use, there is a lack of long‐term data on the efficacy of DCB angioplasty.

Pulmonary Vein Balloon Angioplasty and Stenting for Left Superior and Inferior Pulmonary Vein Stenosis/Occlusion After Radiofrequency Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Early detection and prompt intervention are essential for managing pulmonary vein stenosis and occlusion (PVS/O) following radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for atrial fibrillation (AF). This case report highlights the importance of considering PVS/O in patients with dyspnea and cough post‐RFA and underscores the effectiveness of balloon ...

Enhanced Efficiency of Sequential Cutting Balloon Angioplasty in Calcified Coronary Artery Disease: The RODIN-CUT Technique. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Heavily calcified coronary artery disease presents significant challenges in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), often requiring advanced techniques to achieve optimal outcomes. Cutting balloons (CB) have shown potential for plaque modification; however, their effectiveness is limited without standardized protocols.

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.

Abstract Objectives The long‐term data on the use of drug‐coated balloons (DCBs) for femoropopliteal atherosclerotic lesions in the real‐world setting are limited, even more so for racially and geographically distinct populations. The present analysis reports the 5‐year safety and effectiveness outcomes of a DCB in the Asian subset of the prospective ...
