Increased platelet-derived microparticles in the coronary circulation of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty patients [PDF]
Platelet-derived microparticles that are produced during platelet activation are capable of adhesion and aggregation. Endothelial trauma that occurs during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) may support platelet-derived microparticle ...

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty of anomalous right coronary artery [PDF]
Coronary angioplasty of tortuous anomalous coronary arteries can be technically challenging. We describe a successful percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) of an anomalous right coronary artery after a failed previous attempt.

SARS-CoV-2 triggered seizure complicated by fatal subdural hematoma under edoxaban and clopidogrel
SARS-CoV-2 associated coagulopathy may manifest as hypocoagulability with a propensity for bleeding. Here we report a COVID-19 patient with fatal subdural hematoma (SDH) shortly after thrombendarteriectomy (TEA), and anticoagulation together with anti ...

Renal artery stenosis-when to screen, what to stent? [PDF]
Renal artery stensosis (RAS) continues to be a problem for clinicians, with no clear consensus on how to investigate and assess the clinical significance of stenotic lesions and manage the findings.

Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty [PDF]
In a six-year period (1982–1987), 248 patients were treated with 297 procedures (percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, PTCA) on 282 vessels. Two hundred and fifty-nine (87.2%) of the procedures in 210 (76.7%) of the patients appeared successful angiographically.

Giant Right Coronary Artery Aneurysm Following Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty
Coronary artery aneurysm following percutaneous coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is rare in interventional cardiology. Several factors may contribute to the development of such complication following PTCA that include stent size, improper apposition, nature ...

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty
Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, first performed in man in 1977, has been used increasingly in selected patients with angina pectoris due to coronary atherosclerosis. Patients with single-vessel coronary artery disease in whom the stenosis is relatively proximal, noncalcified, discrete, and tapered rather than eccentric are the best ...
