A Rare and Serious Unforeseen Complication of Cutting Balloon Angioplasty

Case Reports in Cardiology, 2014
Cutting balloon angioplasty (CBA) is one of the adept ways of treating “in-stent restenosis.” Various complications related to cutting balloon angioplasty have been reported including arterial rupture, delayed perforation and fracture of microsurgical ...

Drug‐Coated Balloons Versus Drug‐Eluting Stents or Plain Old Balloon Angioplasty: A Long‐Term in‐Stent Restenosis Study

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Balloon angioplasty with drug‐coated balloons (DCBs) is frequently used during percutaneous coronary intervention for in‐stent restenosis. Despite its frequent use, there is a lack of long‐term data on the efficacy of DCB angioplasty.

Prolonged versus brief balloon inflation during arterial angioplasty for de novo atherosclerotic disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis

CVIR Endovascular, 2019
Objective Angioplasty is a fundamental treatment for atherosclerotic disease and may be performed as the sole therapy in small vessel disease. However, the ideal duration of balloon inflation has not yet been identified.

Assessing the effectiveness of primary angioplasty compared with thrombolysis and its relationship to time delay: a Bayesian evidence synthesis [PDF]

, 2007
Background: Meta-analyses of trials have shown greater benefits from angioplasty than thrombolysis after an acute myocardial infarction, but the time delay in initiating angioplasty needs to be considered.

Usefulness of quantitative and qualitative angiographic lesion morphology, and clinical characteristics in predicting major adverse cardiac events during and after native coronary balloon angioplasty [PDF]

, 1993
Major, adverse cardiac events (death, myocardial infarction, bypass surgery and reintervention) occur in 4 to 7% of all patients undergoing coronary balloon angioplasty. Prospectively collected clinical data, and angiographic quantitative and qualitative
