Long-term clinical safety and efficacy of drug-eluting stents in real-world patients [PDF]

, 2011
Since the fi rst balloon angioplasty was performed in the late 1970’s, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has undergone rapid transformation to become an essential treatment option for coronary artery disease as an alternative to surgery.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion polymorphism does not influence the restenosis rate after coronary stent implantation [PDF]

, 2002
Background. Experimental studies have shown an activation of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) system as a response to endothelial injury. Recent publications have elucidated the hypothesis that the ACE gene polymorphism may influence the level of ...

Coronary arterial aneurysm formation after balloon angioplasty

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1983
The mechanism of coronary stenosis dilatation by percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is incompletely understood. Five men who developed coronary arterial aneurysms at the site of PTCA are described. All patients were in New York Heart Association functional class III or IV at the time of PTCA. In 2 patients acute myocardial infarction

Deployable 3D‐Printed Vascular Stent with Surface‐Catalysed Endogenous Nitric Oxide Generation

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A deployable 3D‐printed vascular stent was fabricated with surface‐catalyzed endogenous nitric oxide generation, representing a promising new direction for stent development. The stent can be remotely controlled by magnetic force in its compressed state and fully deployed at the target site using an untethered heat source, potentially eliminating the ...

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 ...

Bioabsorbable Endovascular Adhesive Tape (BEAT) for Improving Vascular Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A bioabsorbable endovascular adhesive tape (BEAT) platform based on a hierarchical polyelectrolyte complex is developed to enhance drug delivery in the DCB system. The coating enables rapid transfer to the vessel, provides short‐term mechanical support, and promotes both immediate transfer and long‐term retention of drugs at the lesion site.

Ischemia Modified Albumin levels in patients with Stable Angina Pectoris who underwent Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Majalah Kardiologi Indonesia, 2007
Background. Ischemia Modified Albumin (IMA) is a biomarker of myocardial ischemia. Blood levels of IMA rise in patients who develop ischemia during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
