Applicability of laser to assist coronary balloon angioplasty

American Heart Journal, 1985
Severe atherosclerotic obstructed coronary artery disease (CAD) may preclude passage of a balloon catheter for transluminal coronary angioplasty (TCA). Since lasers have been shown to effectively vaporize CAD plaque, the initial application of laser to effect a lumen large enough to accommodate the angioplasty catheter for further dilatation was ...

Significance of balloon imprint during coronary angioplasty

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, 2001
AbstractBalloon imprint during angioplasty is often seen, but not at all inflations. We prospectively studied 235 consecutive patients undergoing 282 PTCAs during a 4‐month period, who were divided into two groups: those with balloon imprint during inflation (159 patients, 190 lesions; 67%) and those without (76 patients, 92 lesions; 33%). Clinical and

Hugging balloon angioplasty of right coronary artery

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Diagnosis, 1995
AbstractWe report a case of “hugging balloon” dilatation of a giant right coronary artery using two dilatation catheters, a balloon “on a wire” and a balloon “rapid exchange” systems via a single guiding catheter. The necessity of larger PTCA balloon catheter (>4.0 mm) was stressed.

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 ...

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.

Surgical Standby for Coronary Balloon Angioplasty

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1992
Objective. —To assess the predictability of need for emergency surgery after coronary balloon angioplasty. Design. —Nonrandomized intervention study. Setting. —Nonprofit university hospital. Patients. —Prior to balloon angioplasty, 1000 consecutive patients were assigned to either the "standby" group (189 patients [19%]) or the "no-standby ...

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

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 ...

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.
