“Bendy” stents help negotiate hairpin intracardiac curves [PDF]
Simple transposition of the great arteries (TGA) occurs in 0.2 per 1000 live births. The condition is surgically repaired in the neonatal period by the arterial switch procedure (ASO) sometimes preceded by an atrial septostomy.

Use of the perforated balloon catheter to infuse marker substances into diseased coronary artery walls after experimental postmortem angioplasty [PDF]
A perforated balloon catheter was used in human coronary arteries after postmortem angioplasty had been performed. The catheter used has a standard angioplasty balloon with a pattern of laser-produced holes, 25 μm in size, which generate streams of fluid

Coronary stenting versus balloon angioplasty in small vessels
We read with interest the study by Moreno et al. ([1][1]), which demonstrated, through ameta-analytic technique, the significant reduction of restenosis due to stent incomparison to percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty in small-vessel coronaryartery disease.

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

Coronary flow velocity reserve after percutaneous interventions is predictive of periprocedural outcome [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Because heterogeneous results have been reported, we assessed coronary flow velocity changes in individuals who underwent percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and examined their impact on clinical outcome. METHODS AND RESULTS:

1001–24 Local Delivery of Urokinase to Porcine Coronary Arteries Using the Localmed Infusion Sleeve [PDF]
Local Delivery of thrombolytic agents may reduce thrombus formation after balloon angioplasty. The Localmed Infusion Sleeve enables localized infusion of urokinase to be performed at the time of balloon angioplasty without the need for catheter exchange ...

Interventional radiology treatments for iatrogenic severe bleeding during percutaneous coronary interventions [PDF]
Purpose: Interventional cardiology and interventional radiology are separate medical disciplines in which intra-arterial contrast media are used. Interventional cardiology has resigned from many types of treatment techniques that are now used and ...
