Implantation of paclitaxel-eluting stents in saphenous vein grafts: clinical and angiographic follow-up results from a multicentre study. [PDF]
Objective: To define the clinical and angiographic follow-up results after implantation of paclitaxel-eluting stents (PESs) in stenotic saphenous vein grafts (SVGs). Design: Prospective multicentre study. Comparison with a control group.

Entrapped inflated coronary balloon with a disrupted shaft
Entrapment of an undeflatable angioplasty balloon is a rare yet fatal complication of modern percutaneous coronary intervention that can lead to fatal sequelae such as myocardial infarction and life-threatening arrhythmia.

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.

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.

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.

POT-sideDCB-POT: A novel technique for treating coronary bifurcation lesions
The rePOT technique is a novel and easily applied approach for coronary bifurcations. Drug-Coated Balloon (DCB) angioplasty is increasingly being utilized in management of small vessels and coronary bifurcation lesions.

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