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

Coronary artery dissection caused by angioplasty balloon rupture.

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Diagnosis, 1990
Three 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.

Intracoronary fracture and embolization of a coronary angioplasty balloon catheter: Retrieval by a simple technique

Catheterization and cardiovascular interventions, 2003
We report a technique for retrieval of a balloon along with a portion of its shaft from the coronary system using a simple technique that does not involve the use of snare or any other retrieval tool. An additional angioplasty wire and a balloon catheter

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 coronary angioplasty—initial clinical experience

Clinical Cardiology, 1993
The success of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty is limited by acute occlusion and late restenosis. In 25 patients (20 men, 5 women, age range 36–81 years) coronary angioplasty was performed using a new cutting balloon into which 3–4 ...

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

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

In vivo delivery and long-term tissue retention of nano-encapsulated sirolimus using a novel porous balloon angioplasty system.

EuroIntervention, 2016
AIMS Among antirestenotic compounds, sirolimus displays a superior safety profile compared to paclitaxel, but its pharmacokinetic properties make it a challenging therapeutic candidate for single-time delivery.

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 ...

Mechanisms of luminal enlargement and quantification of vessel wall trauma following balloon coronary angioplasty and directional atherectomy.

European Heart Journal, 1995
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess the dual action of lumen enlargement and vessel wall damage following either balloon angioplasty or directional atherectomy, using intracoronary ultrasound, and angioscopy.
