Effect of inflation pressures on coronary angioplasty balloons

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1986
It is a common conception that the balloons used in percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty will inflate to a certain designated diameter and maintain this diameter over the wide range of inflation pressures. With use of an optical magnification system, the diameters of multiple angioplasty dilating catheters made of polyvinyl chloride (USCI ...

Loss and retrieval of a coronary angioplasty stent balloon

Cardiovascular Revascularization Medicine, 2013
A case is presented in which a breakage of the coronary stent delivery catheter occurred as retrieval of the stent balloon was attempted after stent implantation. The broken distal balloon shaft with its stuck balloon was retrieved by controlled pulling on the guiding catheter in which a new balloon was inflated, thus trapping the distal shaft.

Long-Term Results of Coronary Balloon Angioplasty

Annual Review of Medicine, 1991
Long-term results after coronary balloon angioplasty are characterized by an eventful early period up to six months, with about a 30% recurrence rate per lesion, and by a stable situation thereafter. Myocardial infarction due to the dilated site is extremely rare during follow-up because the smooth, elastic, inner lining of a restenosis is much less ...

Balloon angioplasty of coronary bifurcation lesions: The kissing balloon technique

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Diagnosis, 1986
AbstractInitial experience with the technique of “kissing balloon” angioplasty is described in 52 patients undergoing coronary angioplasty. Guiding catheters employing both the femoral and brachial approach were used in all but two of the coronary angioplasties and, in addition, the bilateral femoral approach was used in the renal and peripheral ...

Rotational coronary atherectomy after unsuccessful coronary balloon angioplasty

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1993
The clinical and angiographic outcome of patients undergoing rotational coronary atherectomy after unsuccessful balloon angioplasty was evaluated using quantitative angiographic methods to provide insight into this procedure's mechanism of benefit. During the study period, 41 patients (50 lesions) were referred for rotational atherectomy after standard

Comparison of coronary angioplasty with compliant and noncompliant balloons (the angioplasty compliance trial)

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1995
Abstract In conclusion, for conventional balloon angioplasty with compliant and noncompliant balloons, quantitative angiographic results, angiographic and clinical complications, and overall procedural outcome are similar.

Cutting balloon angioplasty is superior to balloon angioplasty or stent implantation for small coronary artery disease

Coronary Artery Disease, 2004
The aim of this study is to demonstrate initial results and long-term outcomes of patients after receiving cutting balloon angioplasty (CBA), balloon angioplasty (BA), or stenting for small vessel diseases. We studied a total of 327 lesions of small coronary disease treated either by CBA (n=87), BA (n=130), or stenting (n=110) in two affiliated ...

Hugging balloons: Coronary angioplasty of oversized vessels with side‐by‐side balloons

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Diagnosis, 1988
AbstractAngioplasty of large (<4.0‐mm) saphenous vein grafts using the largest available (4.0‐mm) balloon catheters may result in inadequate graft dilatation. To avoid leaving a significant residual stenosis, two balloon catheters can be inflated side by side across the stenosis. Herein, we report two cases where this “hugging balloon” technique was

Cutting balloon angioplasty for treatment of calcified coronary lesions

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, 2001
AbstractThe aim of the study was to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of cutting balloon angioplasty in treatment of angiographically moderate and severe calcified coronary lesions. Thirty‐seven calcified coronary lesions (29 patients) detected by angiography were dilated with cutting balloon. Predilatation with plain balloon was performed
