Impact of Stepwise Balloon Angioplasty for De Novo Femoropopliteal Artery: A Retrospective Observational Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Drug‐coated balloon use in the revascularisation of femoropopliteal (FP) lesions improves patency rates. However, conventional balloon angioplasty sometimes leads to severe artery dissection, which may be prevented using stepwise balloon angioplasty.

Successful Implantation of New Coronary Sinus Lead Using Angioplasty for Lead-Related Vein Occlusion in a CRT-D Patient. [PDF]
Abstract This case is a rare occurrence of atrial and coronary sinus (CS) lead dislocation 5 years post cardiac resynchronization therapy‐defibrillator (CRT‐D) implantation, thus necessitating a unique approach. The previous lead‐related vein occlusion was dilated with a balloon using methods typically employed in coronary procedures to address ...

Coronary Artery Aneurysm Post Drug-Coated Balloon Angioplasty [PDF]
Drug-coated balloons have emerged as effective therapy for treating in-stent restenosis and de novo lesions. The animal studies have shown the mechanism of action of paclitaxel-coated balloon in coronary arteries which leads to medial necrosis that may ...

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

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.

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.

Diagnostic Ultrasound Induced Inertial Cavitation To Non-Invasively Restore Coronary And Microvascular Flow In Acute Myocardial Infarction [PDF]
Ultrasound induced cavitation has been explored as a method of dissolving intravascular and microvascular thrombi in acute myocardial infarction. The purpose of this study was to determine the type of cavitation required for success, and whether longer ...
