Treating thrombotic prosthetic arteriovenous access with cross-balloon occlusive thrombolysis and angioplasty

, 2014
Objective: Clot embolism remains a concern due to flushing of clot and thrombolytic agent centrally in the process of percutaneous pharmacomechanical thrombolysis (PMT) for a thrombosed prosthetic arteriovenous access (PAVA), which might be reduced by a ...

Far‐infrared irradiation attenuates platelet‐derived growth factor‐stimulated vascular smooth muscle cell migration through protein phosphatase 2A‐mediated Akt inhibition

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
FIR irradiation enhances the physical association between Akt and PP2Ac in VSMCs, independent of the hyperthermal effect of FIR rays. The increased binding between Akt and PP2Ac induced by FIR irradiation facilitates the dephosphorylation of Akt at Ser473.

Technological Development and Medical Productivity: The Diffusion of Angioplasty in New York State [PDF]

A puzzling feature of many medical innovations is that they simultaneously appear to reduce unit costs and increase total costs. We consider this phenomenon by examining the diffusion of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) -- a ...

Bioresorbable Scaffolds for Coronary Arteries: Where Do We Stand Today?

VIEW Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 1, August 2026.
Bioresorbable coronary scaffolds are moving from thick strut pitfalls to thinner, stronger, healing‐oriented designs. Integrating advances in materials, guided implantation with preparation, size, and postdilation steps, and resorption aligned to healing, we synthesize clinical evidence and chart a roadmap toward intelligent, transient platforms ...

Laser balloon angioplasty: Clinical, angiographic and histologic results

, 1991
Laser balloon angioplasty combines conventional coronary angioplasty with laser energy to transiently heat vascular tissue. Laser balloon angioplasty was performed in 21 patients (aged 56 ± 13 years), including 10 patients treated urgently after acute ...

Successful transcatheter balloon dilatation of coarctation of aorta and coil occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus in a single catheterization procedure

The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, 2007
Simultaneous transcatheter coil occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus and balloon angioplasty of coarctation of aorta is avoided since intimal tearing after angioplasty is believed to increase the risk for dissection of the aorta during catheter ...

Emergency covered stent implantation for portal vein tear during balloon angioplasty in a patient with advanced perihilar cholangiocarcinoma

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Portal vein (PV) tear is an uncommon yet potentially fatal complication associated with balloon angioplasty, particularly when treating PV stenosis caused by tumor invasion and compression. This paper presents the case of a 66-year-old male with advanced

Rupture, Breakdown, and Pulmonary Artery Embolism of a Balloon Catheter Tip during Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty of Arteriovenous Fistula

Vascular Specialist International, 2019
Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty is a well-known treatment for arteriovenous fistula stenosis. Balloon rupture during endovascular procedures is a rare but possible complication.

Prognostic Factors for Postoperative Complications. An Aggregate Protocol for 10 Observational Studies From the Danish TRIPLE‐A Cohort of 1.2 Million Surgeries

Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, Volume 70, Issue 7, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Postoperative complications substantially increase morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs. Understanding prognostic factors is essential for risk stratification, targeted prevention strategies, and development of prediction models.

Optimising coronary reperfusion in acute myocardial infarction: the role of primary angioplasty

, 2007
PhDThrombolysis remains the predominant reperfusion strategy for ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in the United Kingdom. Although primary angioplasty may offer superior outcomes, the logistics of delivering this therapy in the UK ...
