Calcified Plaque Detachment: Alternative Calcified Plaque Modification After Coronary Intravascular Lithotripsy

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Calcified plaque (CP) detachment (CD) and calcium fracture (CF) can occur following coronary intravascular lithotripsy (IVL). The extent to which CF alone facilitates stent expansion during CP modification with IVL remains unclear. Aims This study aimed to investigate the clinical implications of IVL‐induced CD.

Coronary Perforation During Excimer Laser Angioplasty in a Patient With Prior Thoracic Radiotherapy

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Management of heavily calcified coronary lesions remains challenging despite advances in plaque‐modifying technologies. Excimer laser coronary angioplasty (ELCA) is an effective adjunctive strategy with a low risk of no‐reflow. Case Summary A 75‐year‐old woman with non–ST‐segment elevation acute coronary syndrome and severe left ...

Final 2‐Year Results of the REFORM Study: A Randomized Trial of Biolimus DCB Versus Paclitaxel DCB for In‐Stent Restenosis

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In the REFORM trial, treatment of coronary in‐stent restenosis with a Biolimus A9™ drug‐coated balloon (BCB) was found to be inferior with respect to in‐segment percentage stenosis at 6‐months in comparison to treatment with a standard paclitaxel coated paclitaxel‐coated balloon (PCB). Aims In this manuscript, the final prespecified

Long-term risk of carotid restenosis in patients randomly assigned to endovascular treatment or endarterectomy in the Carotid and Vertebral Artery Transluminal Angioplasty Study (CAVATAS): long-term follow-up of a randomised trial [PDF]

, 2009
Background In the Carotid and Vertebral Artery Transluminal Angioplasty Study (CAVATAS), early recurrent carotid stenosis was more common in patients assigned to endovascular treatment than it was in patients assigned to endarterectomy (CEA), raising ...

“Bendy” stents help negotiate hairpin intracardiac curves [PDF]

, 2015
Simple transposition of the great arteries (TGA) occurs in 0.2 per 1000 live births. The condition is surgically repaired in the neonatal period by the arterial switch procedure (ASO) sometimes preceded by an atrial septostomy.

Buddy Wire–Augmented Intravascular Lithotripsy in Refractory Calcified Coronary Lesions: A Five‐Case Series

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heavily calcified coronary lesions remain a major challenge in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), often limiting the effectiveness of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL). We report a five‐case series in which IVL failed to achieve adequate lesion modification but was successfully augmented by the addition of one or more buddy wires.

Sheath‐to‐Artery Diameter Ratio: A Robust Predictor of Early Access‐Site Adverse Events in Percutaneous Procedures

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Vascular access site complications (VASCs) remain an important source of morbidity following percutaneous interventions. Although the sheath‐to‐femoral artery ratio is a recognized risk factor in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), its role across a broader range of femoral procedures is less well defined.

Clinical Outcomes of Drug‐Eluting Stents and Drug‐Coated Balloons in Tortuous Small Coronary Lesions

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In small, tortuous coronary lesions, the long‐term comparative performance of drug‐coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty versus drug‐eluting stent (DES) treatment remains uncertain, despite both strategies being widely used in contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) practice. Aims This study aimed to compare 3‐year clinical

A Bayesian approach to aid in formulary decision making: incorporating institution-specific cost-effectiveness data with clinical trial results [PDF]

, 2003
Pharmacy and therapeutics committees commonly cite a lack of generalizability as a reason for not incorporating cost-effectiveness information into decision making.
