Recoil following Wiktor stent implantation for restenotic lesions of coronary arteries [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
The purpose of this study was to determine acute recoil of the vessel wall immediately after Wiktor stent implantation in native coronary arteries of 77 consecutive patients and to assess whether there was compression or “late recoil” of the stent itself

A Prospective, Multicenter, Open Label Study Investigating the Implementation of a Standardized Algorithm for Coronary CaLcificatiOn With PlaquE Modification Using UltraSound Guidance to Improve Procedural and Clinical Outcomes (CYCLOPES): Design and Rationale of the CYCLOPES Trial

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Moderate‐to‐severe calcification is present in ~20%–30% of patients undergoing coronary angiography. Coronary lesion modification is often necessary to facilitate optimal stent delivery and expansion, with several dedicated devices now approved for calcium modification before stent implantation. The CYCLOPES study aims to evaluate

Atherectomy With Multimodal Embolic Protection for Severely Calcified Femoropopliteal Lesions

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Severe calcification in femoropopliteal lesions remains a clinical challenge to achieve both the technical and long‐term success in endovascular therapy. Although atherectomy is an effective treatment for calcified lesions, it is associated with the risk of distal embolization, even with the use of embolic protection devices (EPDs), and ...

Feasibility and Safety of the ETcath200 Robotic PCI System for Complex Coronary Lesions: A Prospective Single‐Center Study

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background International robotic‐assisted PCI platforms such as CorPath 200 and CorPath GRX have demonstrated procedural safety and efficacy but are limited by the absence of real‐time tactile feedback and cumbersome device exchange. The ETcath200, the first domestically developed robotic PCI system in China, introduces guidewire force‐sensing

A novel over-the-scope endoscopic assisting platform for expanding therapeutic capabilities: Preclinical feasibility study (with video)

open access: yesEndoscopy International Open
The limitations of single-channel endoscopy in complex gastrointestinal disease prompted design of the over-the-scope endoscopic assisting platform (OTS-EAP), a low-profile cap that converts any diagnostic endoscope into a dual-channel therapeutic system.

Follow-up of iatrogenic aorto-coronary "Dunning" dissections by cardiac computed tomography imaging [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Background: Iatrogenic aorto-coronary dissections following percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) represent a rare but potentially life threatening complication. This restrospective and observational study aims to describe our in-house experience for

A Comparative Study of Ultrasonography and CT Venography in the Diagnosis of Budd‐Chiari Syndrome

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Budd‐Chiari syndrome (BCS) is characterized by hepatic venous outflow obstruction from the hepatic veins to the junction of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and right atrium. Ultrasound (US) and CT venography (CTV) are used as imaging techniques for the diagnosis of BCS, and We compared the diagnostic efficacy of the two modalities. The results showed that

Comparative Outcomes of Endoscopic Treatment for Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Common Bile Duct Stones in the Elderly: A Propensity Score‐Based Cohort Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Various guidelines recommend endoscopic stone removal for asymptomatic common bile duct stones (CBDS); however, previous studies have indicated that asymptomatic CBDS is associated with a higher incidence of post‐ERCP pancreatitis (PEP).

Minimally invasive sacroiliac joint fusion: Primary endpoint results from the prospective, multicenter STACI study

open access: yesPM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Chronic sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain is highly debilitating. Minimally invasive SIJ fusion has become a commonly performed surgical treatment for SIJ pain, with level I evidence showing clinically significant improvements in pain, function, and quality of life and a low adverse event rate.
