Randomized comparison of primary stenting and provisional balloon angioplasty guided by flow velocity measurement. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
BACKGROUND: Coronary stenting improves outcomes compared with balloon angioplasty, but it is costly and may have other disadvantages. Limiting stent use to patients with a suboptimal result after angioplasty (provisional angioplasty) may be as effective ...

An analysis of published cases of cutting balloon use in spontaneous coronary artery dissection

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
IntroductionSCAD involves a sudden tear or separation within the layers of the coronary artery wall, resulting in blood flow obstruction and subsequent myocardial ischemia.Materials and methodsA comprehensive literature search was conducted to identify ...

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

open access: yes, 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.

Clinical Outcomes of Drug-Coated Balloon Treatment After Successful Revascularization of de novo Chronic Total Occlusions

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
BackgroundThe safety and efficacy of drug-coated balloon (DCB) treatment for de novo coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) remain uncertain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of DCB only treatment for de novo CTO.MethodsIn this ...

The First‐in‐Man Technique of Drug Eluting and Perfusion Therapy for Left Main Coronary Artery Disease

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Treating ostial left circumflex artery (LCx) lesions in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for left main disease (LMD) remains a challenge. Despite recent recommendations for the use of drug‐coated balloon (DCB) in this lesion, there are concerns about crossover‐stenting from the left main trunk (LMT) to the left anterior ...

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]

open access: yes, 1993
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

Cutting balloon angioplasty for intrastent restenosis treatment

open access: yesArquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 1999
We describe here two patients with angiographic diagnosis of intrastent restenosis and regional myocardial ischemia. One stent restenosis was located in a native coronary artery and the other in a vein graft.
