Cutting balloon angioplasty for treatment of calcified coronary lesions
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, 2001AbstractThe 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

Hugging balloons: Coronary angioplasty of oversized vessels with side‐by‐side balloons
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Diagnosis, 1988AbstractAngioplasty 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

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 ...

Optimizing the results of balloon coronary angioplasty of nonideal lesions
Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 1989This article details an approach to common angioplasty questions, problems, and attempted solutions. It does not consider other aspects, such as patient selection ore care, because these have been addressed ...

Quantitative coronary arteriography in laser balloon angioplasty
1993Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty as developed by Gruntzig et al. has become an established therapeutic method to improve coronary blood flow in patients with obstructive coronary artery disease [1]. However, bal-loon angioplasty has three major limitations. First of all, there is the problem of restenosis within the first six months after

Directional Coronary Atherectomy versus Balloon Angioplasty
New England Journal of Medicine, 1993Although balloon angioplasty has been an important advance in the treatment of coronary artery disease, this procedure is limited by a high rate of restenosis. In balloon angioplasty, coronary stenoses are dilated but atherosclerotic plaques are not removed.
