Balloon-protected Carotid Angioplasty

Neurosurgery, 2000
We describe a method of protecting the distal cerebral circulation during carotid angioplasty and report results using the technique in 17 procedures.Eleven men and five women with carotid stenoses ranging in severity from 70 to 95% underwent the procedure. The technique was used bilaterally in one patient.

Laser balloon angioplasty versus balloon angioplasty in normal rabbit iliac arteries

Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, 1989
AbstractReduction of vascular recoil is an important goal of laser balloon angioplasty (LBA), wherein Nd:YAG laser radiation is delivered radially during balloon inflation. To define the acute and chronic effects of LBA on the normal arterial lumen in comparison with those of balloon angioplasty (BA), 36 New Zealand White male rabbits (3–4 kg) were ...

Microwave Balloon Angioplasty

19th European Microwave Conference, 1989, 1989
Preliminary experiments on the induction of 1ocalized myocardial tissuie modification by microwave energy, without causing any cardiac arrhythmias, were the first step in the development of both microwave ablation and an innovative procedure called microwave balloon angioplasty (MBA).

[Balloon angioplasty].

Archives des maladies du coeur et des vaisseaux, 2000
Balloon angioplasty of the coronary arteries is about 20 years old and has become the main technique of myocardial revascularisation. It is performed under local anaesthetic by arterial puncture and some centres are already performing the procedures on an ambulatory basis.

Kissing balloon coronary angioplasty

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1984
Balloon angioplasty of stenoses involving a bifurcation of coronary arteries carries a significant risk of permanent occlusion of I of the branches. 1 Kissing balloon angioplasty was first described for aortoplasty in the Leriche syndrome. 2 In 1981, Gruentzig introduced it into coronary angioplasty.

Balloon Pulmonary Angioplasty

2017
Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) is a promising treatment option for patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension who are considered ineligible for surgical treatment. Since 2012, the effect of balloon pulmonary angioplasty has been reported mainly in Japan, but currently, it is attracting the attention of many pulmonary hypertension ...

Restenosis After Coronary Balloon Angioplasty

Annual Review of Medicine, 1991
A recurrence of stenosis (restenosis) following successful coronary angioplasty continues to be a frequent problem limiting the long-term efficacy of the procedure. An overexuberant reparative response to the arterial injury induced by balloon dilatation leads to intimal hyperplasia, the major mechanism responsible for restenosis. Although none has yet

Balloon angioplasty by vascular surgeons

The American Journal of Surgery, 1997
Endovascular treatment of arterial disease of the lower extremity is performed by radiologists, cardiologists, and some vascular surgeons. This retrospective review was performed to measure complications and success rates in patients with extensive occlusive disease treated by vascular surgeons.Balloon angioplasties were performed on 336 vascular ...

Laser balloon angioplasty.

Critical reviews in biomedical engineering, 1992
Unlike conventional transluminal percutaneous angioplasty (PTCA), which applies only intraluminal pressure, laser balloon angioplasty (LBA) employs simultaneous heat and pressure to reopen heavily occluded arterial lumens. The circumferential irradiation of Nd:YAG (1.06 microns) laser light is directly absorbed by approximately 1 to 2 mm of arterial ...

Cutting Balloon Angioplasty

2003
Conventional balloon angioplasty restores coronary blood flow at the expense of some degree of arterial wall injury. The occurrence and degree of vessel wall injury is unpredictable and, in a proportion of cases, results in the complications associated with conventional percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA).
