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 ...

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 ...

ABSTRACT Background Cost‐utility analyses of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) provide valuable insights into the economic value of these procedures. However, data is lacking, particularly in developing countries with limited resources. Aims This analysis aimed to compare the cost‐utility of different treatment modalities used for PCI patients

Efficient isogeometric thin shell formulations for soft biological materials
This paper presents three different constitutive approaches to model thin rotation-free shells based on the Kirchhoff-Love hypothesis. One approach is based on numerical integration through the shell thickness while the other two approaches do not need ...

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]
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

ABSTRACT The superficial femoral artery (SFA) is a vascular access alternative for various cardiovascular interventions, especially when the common femoral artery CFA is deep, calcified or in high bifurcation. SFA use, however, was associated with pseudoaneurysms in older literature, and its utilization for large‐bore access is not well established. We

ABSTRACT Background For over a decade, transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacements (TF‐TAVR) have been performed at the University Hospital of Nancy. A minimalistic approach to TF‐TAVR, conducted without general anesthesia and entirely percutaneously in a catheterization suite (simplified approach), has been reported to be as safe and ...

Importance of balloon size in coronary angioplasty
The effect of balloon size on the success of coronary angioplasty was studied to develop quantitative criteria for optimal selection of balloon size. Coronary dimensions of 165 stenotic lesions were measured by computer-assisted cinevideodensitometry in 120 patients who had undergone angioplasty with a balloon selected by visual estimates.

ABSTRACT Background Drug‐coated balloon (DCB) treatment has shown outcomes comparable to drug‐eluting stent (DES) in small vessel coronary disease. However, evidence for its application in large vessel coronary artery disease (CAD) remains limited. Aims This study evaluated the clinical impact of DCB‐based percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in ...
