Comparative angiographic quantitative analysis of the immediate efficacy of coronary atherectomy with balloon angioplasty, stenting, and rotational ablation [PDF]
, 1991 Interventional cardiology has branched in two directions: devices that primarily dilate coronary stenoses and those that debulk coronary tissue. Presently the optimum coronary intervention has not been found. While patients are awaiting randomized trials,

Intentional Stent Fracture to Accommodate Growth After Coarctation Stenting in an 860‐g Neonate
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 107, Issue 1, Page 34-37, January 1, 2026.ABSTRACT Background Congenital aortic coarctation in neonates and children can be managed with transcatheter stent implantation, but this approach raises the issue of how to accommodate the fixed stent structure within the growing vessel. Case Summary A 15‐month‐old boy, born prematurely with critical aortic coarctation, was treated at 1 week of age ...

Antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy in elective percutaneous coronary intervention
Current Controlled Trials in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2001 Thrombosis plays a major role in acute vessel closure both after coronary balloon angioplasty and after stenting. This review will address the role of antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy in preventing early thrombotic complications after percutaneous ...
