Abstract Veno‐arterial extracorporeal life support (VA ECLS) is crucial for neonatal and paediatric patients with severe circulatory collapse but may cause left ventricular (LV) overload, affecting myocardial recovery and causing complications. Evidence on optimal LV decompression strategies in paediatric patients remains limited.

Uncomplicated moderate coronary artery dissections after balloon angioplasty: good outcome without stenting [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: To study the relation between moderate coronary dissections, coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR), and long term outcome. METHODS: 523 patients undergoing balloon angioplasty and sequential intracoronary Doppler measurements were examined as ...

Reduction of Thrombogenicity with Argon Laser Angioplasty. Comparison with Balloon Angioplasty.
Direct argon or thermal laser angioplasty (LA) was evaluated for thrombogenicity using angioscopy, and compared with balloon angioplasty (BA). In each of 8 dogs, 4 segments (both proximal and distal iliac arteries) were treated by laser-thermal and/or balloon angioplasty.

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

Particle Astrophysics in NASA's Long Duration Balloon Program [PDF]
A century after Victor Hess' discovery of cosmic rays, balloon flights still play a central role in the investigation of cosmic rays over nearly their entire spectrum. We report on the current status of NASA balloon program for particle astrophysics, with particular emphasis on the very successful Antarctic long-duration balloon program, and new ...

Length of carotid stenosis predicts peri-procedural stroke or death and restenosis in patients randomized to endovascular treatment or endarterectomy. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The anatomy of carotid stenosis may influence the outcome of endovascular treatment or carotid endarterectomy. Whether anatomy favors one treatment over the other in terms of safety or efficacy has not been investigated in randomized trials.

iFR variations during coronary angioplasty
A fifty-five year-old hypertensive and former smoker male admitted with signs of typical chest pain, left bundle brunch block, and normal troponin levels. The angiography revealed 2-vessel, left circumflex and right coronary artery disease.

The FRED‐X Flow Diverter—An Australian Experience
ABSTRACT Background The FRED X flow diverter features antithrombotic surface treatment to reduce thrombogenicity. This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of FRED X in treating intracranial aneurysms in the Australian setting. Methods Clinical, procedural and imaging data were retrospectively reviewed for a consecutive series of patients at a ...

Intracoronary Heparin Delivery in Humans [PDF]
Background Inefficacy of systemic drug administration for restenosis prevention may partially relate to insufficient local drug concentration. This study aimed to evaluate the acute feasibility and long-term outcome of using an infusion-perfusion coil ...
