The “needle re-entry” technique for infrainguinal arterial calcified occlusive lesions
Background Vascular calcification is a predictor of poor clinical outcome during and after endovascular intervention. Guidewire crossing techniques and devices have been developed, but chronic total occlusions (CTOs) with severe calcification often ...

The “Direct tip injection in occlusive lesions (DIOL)” fashion
Background The successful intervention for peripheral artery disease is limited by complex chronic total occlusions (CTOs). During CTO wiring, without the use of intravascular or extravascular ultrasound, the guidewire position is unclear, except for ...

A cohort study of duplex Doppler examinations of the carotid artery in primary open angle glaucoma [PDF]
Objectives To explore the possibility of pathological change in the common carotid artery at the bifurcation and in the internal carotid artery beyond the bifurcation which could contribute to a reduced diastolic pressure as observed in primary open ...

Anatomical variants and coronary anomalies detected by dual-source coronary computed tomography angiography in North-eastern Thailand [PDF]
Purpose: Congenital coronary anomalies are uncommon, with an incidence ranging from 0.17% in autopsy cases to 1.2% in angiographically evaluated cases. The recent development of dual-source coronary computed tomography angiography (coronary CTA) allows ...
