Drug‐coated balloons: From conventional designs to next‐generation innovations in vascular therapy

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
This review traces the evolution of drug‐coated balloons (DCBs) from conventional designs to next‐generation platforms. We highlight innovations in balloon engineering, coating technologies, and therapeutic agents that enhance localized drug delivery while addressing challenges in efficiency, safety, and biocompatibility for vascular and emerging non ...

Comprehensive Nursing Management of Anticoagulation and Heart Failure Surveillance in a Chinese Patient With Mirror‐Image Dextrocardia Post‐MitraClip Surgery: A First Case Report

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the valent type of valvular heart disease, caused by primary leaflet lesions or annular dilatation secondary to left ventricular dysfunction. It can lead to a series of complications such as volume overload, exacerbated pulmonary congestion, and heart failure, significantly impacting patient prognosis ...

Variability in ACT Response to Standard UFH Bolus During PCI: A Prospective Study on Determinants of Subtherapeutic Anticoagulation

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Unfractionated heparin (UFH) remains the standard anticoagulant during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), with guidelines recommending a target activated clotting time (ACT) of ≥250 s. However, despite receiving a standardized bolus dose, many patients fail to achieve this target.

Successful Revascularization of Chronic Total Occlusions in Patients With Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Disease

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease (CTEPD) leads to chronic total occlusions (CTOs) of the pulmonary arteries in a minority of patients. Treatment of CTOs with balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) may substantially improve patient hemodynamics but presents unique technical challenges and has previously been associated with a ...
