Use of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging Angiography to Follow-Up Arterial Remodeling in an Animal Model [PDF]
Appropriately sized arteries in small animals may be possible models for studying the remodeling process as occurs after arterial balloon injury in humans. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is able to noninvasively image tissue in vivo.

Feasibility and performance of a device for automatic self-detection of symptomatic acute coronary artery occlusion in outpatients with coronary artery disease : a multicentre observational study [PDF]
Background Time delay between onset of symptoms and seeking medical attention is a major determinant of mortality and morbidity in patients with acute coronary artery occlusion. Response time might be reduced by reliable self-detection.

Impending coronary perforation after cutting balloon angioplasty [PDF]
Cutting balloon angioplasty was used to treat an in-stent restenotic lesion. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) revealed profound dissection (below left, arrows), and deep vessel wall injury reaching the adventitia with haematoma formation (below left, club). After intravascular ultrasound, angiography revealed minor extravasation …

Cutting balloon coronary angioplasty—initial clinical experience [PDF]
AbstractThe 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 longitudinally orientated blades are incorporated so as to reduce the rate of severe dissections ...

Updated cardiac concerns with rituximab use: A growing challenge
A 62-year-old male was undergoing treatment of NHL with bone marrow involvement with thrombocytopenia. After 15 min of starting of IV infusion of rituximab, he started having severe retrosternal chest pain, diagnosed as acute ST elevation inferior wall ...

The IkB kinase inhibitor nuclear factor-kB essential modulator–binding domain peptide for inhibition of balloon injury-induced neointimal formation [PDF]
Objective—The activation of nuclear factor-kB (NF-kB) is a crucial step in the arterial wall’s response to injury. The identification and characterization of the NF-kB essential modulator– binding domain (NBD) peptide, which can block the activation of

Rupture of the arterial wall causes deflection in pressure time course during ex vivo balloon angioplasty [PDF]
A relation between restenosis and arterial lesions resulting from balloon angioplasty has been suggested in literature. Nevertheless, it is unclear to what extent angioplasty-induced arterial wall lesions contribute to the occurrence of restenosis.
