The optimal treatment of multivessel coronary artery disease [PDF]
The practice of percutaneous coronary intervention has overtaken coronary bypass surgery in the treatment of ischaemic heart disease. Several randomized controlled as well as registry and observational trials have addressed the issue of patient selection

Pathogen burden, inflammation, proliferation and apoptosis in human in-stent restenosis - Tissue characteristics compared to primary atherosclerosis [PDF]
Pathogenic events leading to in-stent restenosis (ISR) are still incompletely understood. Among others, inflammation, immune reactions, deregulated cell death and growth have been suggested. Therefore, atherectomy probes from 21 patients with symptomatic

Management of Lost Atherectomy Devices in the Coronary Arteries
ABSTRACT Rotational and orbital atherectomy are important tools to treat calcific coronary disease. Entrapment of an atherectomy device, that is, rotational atherectomy burr or orbital atherectomy crown, is a serious complication during atherectomy. Loss of an atherectomy device is a more challenging complication that usually follows device entrapment.

Intraaortic balloon pump support during coronary angioplasty. Initial experience
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the use of the intraaortic balloon (IAoB) in association with coronary angioplasty in high-risk patients. METHODS: Fourteen high-risk patients unresponsive to clinical therapy and with formal contraindication to surgical ...

Drug Coated Balloons Versus Drug‐Eluting Stents in Patients With De Novo Coronary Artery Disease
ABSTRACT Background In patients with de novo coronary artery disease (CAD), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug eluting stent (DES) implantation is the gold standard therapy. New evidence is available with drug coated balloons (DCB) angioplasty. The objective of this meta‐analysis was to compare the efficacy and safety of DCB angioplasty

Adjunctive strategies in the management of resistant, 'undilatable' coronary lesions after successfully crossing a CTO with a guidewire. [PDF]
Successful revascularisation of chronic total occlusions (CTOs) remains one of the greatest challenges in the era of contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

ABSTRACT Background Initially, drug‐coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty was primarily employed for in‐stent restenosis (ISR) treatment. Over time, its indications have broadened to include de novo small‐vessel lesions and bifurcation lesions. However, there is a lack of effective strategies to reduce restenosis rates post‐DCB angioplasty.

ABSTRACT Background Drug‐coated balloons (DCBs) for femoropopliteal (FP) lesions have demonstrated superiority over standard percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in maintaining vessel patency. However, data on whether the good durability of DCBs translates into improved wound outcome in chronic limb‐threatening ischemia (CLTI) patients are ...
