Three dimensional intravascular ultrasonic assessment of the local mechanism of restenosis after balloon angioplasty [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: To assess the mechanism of restenosis after balloon angioplasty. DESIGN: Prospective study. PATIENTS: 13 patients treated with balloon angioplasty. INTERVENTIONS: 111 coronary subsegments (2 mm each) were analysed after balloon angioplasty and

The Feasibility of Imaging Myocardial Ischemic/Reperfusion Injury Using \u3csup\u3e99m\u3c/sup\u3eTc-labeled Duramycin in a Porcine Model [PDF]
When pathologically externalized, phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) is a potential surrogate marker for detecting tissue injuries. 99mTc-labeled duramycin is a peptide-based imaging agent that binds PE with high affinity and specificity.

A polymer coated cicaprost-eluting stent increases neointima formation and impairs vessel function in the rabbit iliac artery [PDF]
Drug-eluting stents have been successful in reducing in-stent restenosis but are not suitable for all lesion types and have been implicated in causing late stent thrombosis due to incomplete regeneration of the endothelial cell layer.

The strategy of surgical revascularization of coronary arteries in a multi-vessel lesion
This review presents the basic approaches for the surgical myocardial revascularization in patients with multivessel coronary lesions. The methods of coronary artery bypass grafting, balloon angioplasty, stenting using holometallic stents and drug-coated

Dual control of vascular tone and remodelling by ATP released from nerves and endothelial cells [PDF]
Purinergic signalling is important both in short-term control of vascular tone and in longer-term control of cell proliferation, migration and death involved in vascular remodelling.

Coronary Artery Aneurysm Post Drug-Coated Balloon Angioplasty
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 ...

Incidence, predictors, and management of acute coronary occlusion after coronary angioplasty [PDF]
Acute coronary occlusion occurs in 4.3% to 8.3% of patients during coronary angioplasty. Its occurrence is difficult to predict in an individual patient.

Endoluminal beta-radiation therapy for the prevention of coronary restenosis after balloon angioplasty. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Beta radiation is effective in reducing vascular neointimal proliferation in animals after injury caused by balloon angioplasty. However, the lowest dose that can prevent restenosis after coronary angioplasty has yet to be determined. METHODS:
