Balloon Angioplasty - The Legacy of Andreas Grüntzig, M.D. (1939-1985)

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2014
In 1974, at the Medical Policlinic of the University of Zürich, German-born physician-scientist Andreas Grüntzig (1939-1985) successfully applied a balloon-tipped catheter to re-open a severely stenosed femoral artery, a procedure which he initially ...

Drug‐coated balloons: From conventional designs to next‐generation innovations in vascular therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review traces the evolution of drug‐coated balloons (DCBs) from conventional designs to next‐generation platforms. We highlight innovations in balloon engineering, coating technologies, and therapeutic agents that enhance localized drug delivery while addressing challenges in efficiency, safety, and biocompatibility for vascular and emerging non ...

Role of Neuroimaging Before Coronary Angiography in Patients With Out‐of‐Hospital Cardiac Arrest

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients presenting following out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OOHCA) often require emergency coronary angiography. Presentations can be associated with syncope or head‐trauma. Aims We investigated the impact and utility of pre‐coronary angiography CT‐Brain (CT‐B) in patients following OOHCA on clinical outcomes.

'Miracle stents' - a future without restenosis

McGill Journal of Medicine, 2020
Over the last three decades, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) technology has revolutionized the field of cardiology. PCI began in the form of balloon angioplasty, and was followed by coronary stenting.

A Modified Technique for Converting Retrograde Femoral Artery Access to Antegrade Access With the Assistance of a Long Sheath

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Percutaneous femoral access serves as the cornerstone of endovascular therapy of lower extremity arterial disease. In complex cases, the arterial disease of lower extremity are involve in ipsilateral iliac artery pathology, which conventional treatment strategies typically require multiple punctures or staged procedures.

Combination of Laser Atherectomy and Super High-pressure Non-compliant Balloon to Treat Stent Under-expansion in Cases of Failed Interventional Options

Interventional Cardiology: Reviews, Research, Resources, 2023
Patients with calcified, fibrotic native coronary vessels with prior suboptimal stenting outcomes are at major risk of stent thrombosis and could face serious consequences if untreated.

Pathophysiologic Consequences of Early Coarctation Stenting in a Longitudinal Porcine Model

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Novel stent technologies offer early intravascular treatment options for coarctation (COA). Mid‐to‐long‐term cardiovascular responses to early COA stent interventions are undefined. Aims We studied a porcine model of COA, with and without early stent implantation with serial dilation to adult aortic diameters, aiming to define ...

Broken coronary stent catheter retrieval percutaneously case report and literature review

International Journal of the Cardiovascular Academy, 2019
We present a 73-year-old male patient with an unusual complication of a broken coronary stent catheter during percutaneous coronary angioplasty, which was successfully retrieved by balloon trapping and pulling-back method, along with literature review of

Same‐Day Discharge After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: Who, When, and How?

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The burden of severe aortic stenosis requiring treatment is growing due to ageing populations. This places increased demands on health resources due to the growing number of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedures and hospital bed occupancy.
