Significance of balloon imprint during coronary angioplasty
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, 2001AbstractBalloon 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, 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 ...

Coronary Atherectomy: An Alternative to Balloon Angioplasty
AORN Journal, 1991To date, physicians at our hospital have performed coronary atherectomy on 15 patients. Of these patients, four needed open heart surgery. One patient needed surgery because a vessel was dissected during the procedure, and the three other patients had unsuccessful procedures.

Surgical Standby for Coronary Balloon Angioplasty
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1992Objective. —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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Postpartum myocardial infarction treated by balloon coronary angioplasty
International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 1993Acute myocardial infarction in pregnancy is a rare event that carries substantial morbidity and mortality. New technologies have been developed in cardiology to open obstructed vessels during the acute evolution of coronary thrombosis. We present a case of acute postpartum myocardial infarction in a woman with class F/R diabetes.

Successful rotational coronary ablation following failed balloon angioplasty
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Diagnosis, 1991AbstractRotational coronary ablation was utilized in two cases in which balloon angioplasty initially failed. In both cases, the balloon could not be fully expanded despite using high (18 Bar) inflation pressure. Rotational coronary ablation debulked the lesion, in each instance, and permitted successful balloon angioplasty to be accomplished without ...

Coronary artery dissection caused by angioplasty balloon rupture
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Diagnosis, 1990AbstractThree cases of coronary angioplasty balloon rupture complicated by coronary artery dissection are described. Factors that may predispose to this previously undescribed and potentially devastating complication are discussed.
