Balloon angioplasty for cerebrovascular disease
Neurological Research, 1992Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) has become an established treatment for peripheral, renal and coronary vascular disease, where the success rate approaches 90% with complications occurring in less than 5% of patients. There has been a reluctance to recommend PTA of the internal carotid artery (ICA) because of concern about the risks of ...

Balloon Angioplasty and Stenting
2018In 1964, Charles Dotter and Melvin Judkins performed the first successful transluminal angioplasty of a superficial femoral artery stenosis. Since then, techniques of revascularization have been the cornerstone of interventional radiology (IR) practices.

This chapter discusses a case in which an angioplasty balloon ruptured during the treatment of a stenotic lesion and a portion of the balloon was lost. It details how this lost peice was retrieved.

The effects of balloon angioplasty (BA) and laser-assisted balloon angioplasty (LABA) on arteries were compared. Atherosclerosis was induced in the iliac arteries of New Zealand White rabbits by means of balloon denudation and a diet supplemented with 1% cholesterol and 3% peanut oil.

Kissing balloon coronary angioplasty
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1984Balloon 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.

Ultrasonic angioplasty balloon catheter
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1997An angioplasty balloon catheter particularly adapted for ablation of a stenosis in vivo has a balloon which may be inflated with a conductive contrast fluid injected proximally to the balloon, and is furthermore metalized on the outside of the balloon and catheter shaft.

Balloon angioplasty for an unusual aortic coarctation
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Diagnosis, 1998Percutaneous balloon angioplasty is an alternative therapy for the treatment of the typical type of coarctation. Its associated morbidity and mortality compares favorably when compared to the standard treatment surgery. While atypical coarctations are rare, the described cases have been treated surgically.

Vascular miRNAs After Balloon Angioplasty
Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2013MicroRNAs (miRs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression through translational repression or degradation of the target mRNA. Available strategies to improve stent patency lead to the risk of potential stent thrombosis. Modulation of miRs could be a promising means of reducing VSMC proliferation while increasing endothelial regeneration ...

American Heart Journal, 2004
Small vessel size represents a critical risk factor for an adverse outcome after both conventional balloon angioplasty (POBA) and stenting. Gradual and prolonged balloon angioplasty (GPBA) has been shown to cause less arterial trauma, which results in higher procedural success rates and fewer in-hospital complications than POBA.

Catheter Intervention: Balloon Angioplasty
2000Dotter and Judkins first described transluminal angioplasty in 1964 (1). Using a surgical cutdown, they introduced solid cylindrical dilators of sequentially increasing diameters to enlarge the vessel lumen of iliac and femoral arteries. Ten years later Gruentzig (2) successfully applied Dotter’s concept to a percutaneously placed inflatable ...
