Use of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging Angiography to Follow-Up Arterial Remodeling in an Animal Model [PDF]

, 1998
Appropriately sized arteries in small animals may be possible models for studying the remodeling process as occurs after arterial balloon injury in humans. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is able to noninvasively image tissue in vivo.

Inoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension: Evolution of prognosis over 10 years of new emerging therapies

Pulmonary Circulation
Therapies for inoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) include balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) and PH‐specific medical therapy. This study compares survival and its predictors before and after the introduction of BPA.

Transcatheter stenting of superior vena cava to treat postoperative SVC syndrome in a child: a case report

The Egyptian Heart Journal
Background Superior vena cava (SVC) obstruction leading to SVC syndrome is an uncommon but potential complication of cardiac surgeries that involve dissection and anastomosis around the great vein. We present a case of iatrogenic SVC obstruction that was

Assessment of Scoring Balloons in STEMI Patients Treated With DCB‐Only Angioplasty: A Single Center Study

Health Science Reports
Background and Aims A randomized trial has previously demonstrated that neointimal modification with a scoring balloon improves the anti‐restenotic effect of drug‐coated balloon (DCB) in patients with drug‐eluting stent restenosis. There are very limited

Technological Development and Medical Productivity: The Diffusion of Angioplasty in New York State [PDF]

A puzzling feature of many medical innovations is that they simultaneously appear to reduce unit costs and increase total costs. We consider this phenomenon by examining the diffusion of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) -- a ...
