ABSTRACT Background and Aims Perventricular device closure of muscular VSD in small infants is a less invasive option than surgical closure under cardiopulmonary bypass and offers better outcomes than palliative pulmonary artery banding. However, the specific risk factors that could affect procedural success and optimal outcomes have not been ...

Debate: Should the elderly receive thrombolytic therapy or primary angioplasty?
Thrombolysis and primary angioplasty are both recommended reperfusion strategies for elderly patients presenting with myocardial infarction (MI). Primary angioplasty is most beneficial in high-risk patients. While the elderly have a high absolute risk of

The potential of repeat percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty as a mode of therapy for recurrence of stenosis after initially successful angioplasty was examined on the basis of data on all 514 patients with successful angioplasty at Emory University before April 1982. Recurrence was found in 171 (33%) of the 514 patients.

Balloon pulmonary angioplasty for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a rare but potentially life-threatening disease of the pulmonary circulation [1]. The pathogenesis of CTEPH is not entirely clear.

ABSTRACT Background Initially, drug‐coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty was primarily employed for in‐stent restenosis (ISR) treatment. Over time, its indications have broadened to include de novo small‐vessel lesions and bifurcation lesions. However, there is a lack of effective strategies to reduce restenosis rates post‐DCB angioplasty.

Distal protection devices during percutaneous coronary and carotid interventions
Distal embolization of particulate matter complicates percutaneous coronary and peripheral interventions more often than had been recognized until recently. A number of distal protection devices are under development.

Carotid Angioplasty: Is It Safe?
For 15 years, balloon angioplasty has been cautiously applied to carotid artery occlusive lesions. Procedural results have, by and large, been satisfactory, but the potential for significant neurologic complications and a dearth of controlled studies with long-term follow-up have impeded the development of carotid angioplasty until recently.

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 ...

Safety of balloon angioplasty for symptomatic intracranial artery stenosis
Objective A recent randomized controlled trial suggested that aggressive medical management was superior to angioplasty for symptomatic intracranial artery stenosis. But it still had its flaws.

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
