Tandem balloon catheter for coronary angioplasty
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Diagnosis, 1986AbstractThe Tandem balloon catheter is a triple lumen steerable catheter for coronary angloplasty with two separately inflatable balloons of different diameters. Indications and results of 26 consecutive patients treated with a Tandem balloon catheter are reviewed. Adequate distal pressure measurements were obtained in 71% of the cases. In ten patients,

Effect of balloon material on coronary angioplasty
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1992Abstract Myocardial ischemia occurs in the absence of symptoms in a proportion of patients with coronary artery disease, a phenomenon that may reflect disturbed pain responsiveness. 1 Episodes of painless (“silent”) ischemia are frequent even in patients who have angina at other times, 2 suggesting that some features of the ischemic event, rather ...

Coronary balloon angioplasty, stents, and scaffolds
The Lancet, 2017Since the first coronary angioplasty on Sept 16, 1977, the field of percutaneous coronary intervention has evolved rapidly. Now marking its 40th anniversary, percutaneous coronary intervention has become one of the most common medical procedures worldwide.

Kissing balloon coronary angioplasty
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1984Balloon angioplasty of stenoses involving a bifurcation of coronary arteries carries a significant risk of permanent occlusion of I of the branches. 1 Kissing balloon angioplasty was first described for aortoplasty in the Leriche syndrome. 2 In 1981, Gruentzig introduced it into coronary angioplasty.

Balloon Angioplasty in Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease
Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 1983Coronary angioplasty with use of the balloon catheter was initially performed only in patients with single-vessel coronary artery disease. Most symptomatic patients with coronary artery disease who require revascularization for control of their symptoms, however, have stenoses in more than one major coronary artery.

Higher balloon dilatation pressure in coronary angioplasty
American Heart Journal, 1984The advent of improved balloon catheters for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in 1981 extended the theoretic pressure range available for dilatation from 7 atm to 13 atm. The impact of higher dilatation pressure on results of PTCA was studied.

Applicability of laser to assist coronary balloon angioplasty
American Heart Journal, 1985Severe 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 ...

Hugging balloon angioplasty of right coronary artery
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Diagnosis, 1995AbstractWe 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.

Long-Term Results of Coronary Balloon Angioplasty
Annual Review of Medicine, 1991Long-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, 1986AbstractInitial 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 ...
