Hemodynamic Significance of APEXCT Coronary Angiography Combined With Dynamic CT Myocardial Perfusion Imaging in Assessing Restenosis After Coronary Stenting

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the hemodynamic significance of in‐stent restenosis (ISR) by using a combined anatomical‐functional approach with photon‐counting CT coronary angiography (APEX‐CT CTA) and dynamic CT myocardial perfusion imaging (CT‐MPI). We prospectively enrolled 239 symptomatic patients at least 9 months after PCI.

Long-term effects of hemostatic variables on fatal coronary heart disease: 30-year results from the first prospective Northwick Park Heart Study (NPHS-I) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Background: The long-term associations of established risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD), for example cholesterol, are well known, but not for the less familiar hemostatic variables.

Exercise stress testing before and after successful multivessel percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2006
Controversy exists regarding the diagnostic accuracy, optimal technique, and timing of exercise testing after percutaneous coronary intervention. The objectives of the present study were to analyze variables and the power of exercise testing to predict ...

Awake Blue Laser Excision and Balloon Dilation of Oropharyngeal Stenosis in High‐Risk Patients

open access: yesOtolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Oropharyngeal stenosis is a rare condition that can develop following head and neck cancer treatment, leading to progressive dyspnea, dysphagia, and dysphonia. Patients with symptomatic dyspnea may benefit from endoscopic surgery. However, head and neck cancer survivors can have severe trismus, limited neck extension, and altered laryngeal ...

Clinical and angiographic assessment of coronary bare-metal stent restenosis

open access: yesCorSalud, 2017
Introduction: Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death in Cuba. Coronary angioplasty with stenting is an excellent treatment option, but restenosis overshadows its prognosis and is more common with the use of bare metal stents.

PDA‐Engineered 3D‐Printed Polymer–ZrO2 Hybrid Scaffolds Enabling Enhanced Radiopacity, Photothermal Therapy, and Cell Migration Modulation

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
A multifunctional 3D‐printed polymer–ZrO2 scaffold is developed to provide intrinsic radiopacity, photothermal responsiveness, and surface bioactivity. Reinforcement with ZrO2 enables real‐time x‐ray visibility and mechanical robustness, while a polydopamine coating facilitates near‐infrared‐triggered drug release and modulates cell migration, thereby ...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) vs intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) in diagnosing the mechanisms of in-stent restenosis in drug eluting stents

open access: yesRomanian Journal of Cardiology
In-stent restenosis remains a recognized complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Conventional two-dimensional angiography is limited to visualization of the coronary lumen and provides inadequate assessment of in-stent restenosis ...

Cardiovascular preventive role of thiazolidinedione in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention

open access: yesJournal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
Among patients with type 2 diabetes undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, thiazolidinedione use was independently associated with a significantly reduced risk of a composite of myocardial infarction, stroke, and all‐cause death, notably without an increased risk of admission for heart failure. ABSTRACT Background Thiazolidinediones (TZD) are a

Brachytherapy: A New Weapon Against Coronary Restenosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Since its introduction in the late 1970\u27s, coronary angioplasty has become a common procedure for treating coronary atherosclerotic disease. It offers significant improvement in symptoms of coronary artery disease through a less invasive procedure ...
