Beta-endorphins during coronary angioplasty in patients with silent or symptomatic myocardial ischemia [PDF]
, 1993 Objectives. The aims of this study were to correlate betaendorphin plasma levels and anginal pin in patients with ischemia induced by percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and to detect eventual endorphin variations during balloon occlusion ...

Design of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty balloon catheters
BioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2023 Abstract Background Eight commercially available percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), including semi-compliant and non-compliant balloons, have been assessed in detail on their tip, balloon, shaft, RX-Port, and hypotube design.

Drug-coated Balloon-only Angioplasty for Native Coronary Disease Instead of Stents.
Interventional Cardiology, 2016 Coronary angioplasty has vastly improved both in technique and devices since the first angioplasty in 1977. Currently, stent implantation is used almost ubiquitously, despite being developed originally to treat vessel threatening dissections.

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 ...

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]
, 2019 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.

Macromolecular approaches to prevent thrombosis and intimal hyperplasia following percutaneous coronary intervention. [PDF]
, 2014 Cardiovascular disease remains one of the largest contributors to death worldwide. Improvements in cardiovascular technology leading to the current generation of drug-eluting stents, bioresorbable stents, and drug-eluting balloons, coupled with advances ...

Comparative angiographic quantitative analysis of the immediate efficacy of coronary atherectomy with balloon angioplasty, stenting, and rotational ablation [PDF]
, 1991 Interventional cardiology has branched in two directions: devices that primarily dilate coronary stenoses and those that debulk coronary tissue. Presently the optimum coronary intervention has not been found. While patients are awaiting randomized trials,

Neuropilins 1 and 2 mediate neointimal hyperplasia and re-endothelialization following arterial injury [PDF]
, 2015 AIMS: Neuropilins 1 and 2 (NRP1 and NRP2) play crucial roles in endothelial cell migration contributing to angiogenesis and vascular development. Both NRPs are also expressed by cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and are implicated in VSMC ...
