Utility of optical coherence tomography and intravascular ultrasound for the evaluation of coronary lesions

Revista Portuguesa de Cardiologia, 2013
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) are imaging methods used in the diagnosis of coronary lesions. IVUS is widely used in interventional cardiology laboratories, but OCT is now increasingly used.

Coronary Flow Reserve Measured by Myocardial Perfusion Imaging in Patients Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Despite achieving complete revascularization, patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) may experience adverse outcomes, potentially attributable to coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD). Coronary flow reserve (CFR), which integrates both epicardial and microvascular coronary function, and a reduced CFR following complete ...

EXPERIENCE OF CLINICAL USE OF ULTRASOUND GUIDANCE FOR CERVICAL PLEXUS BLOCK IN RECONSTRUCTIVE CAROTID SURGERY

Вестник анестезиологии и реаниматологии, 2019
The surface block of cervical plexus in combination with general anesthesia provides nociceptive protection at all stages of the surgery. However, its use is associated with the risk of puncture of large vessels of the neck and resulting complications ...

A Novel Cardiac Computed Tomography‐Based Calcium Scoring System for Predicting the Use of Atherectomy Devices in Severely Calcified Coronary Lesions

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cardiac computed tomography (CT) is a well‐established process used to diagnose coronary artery disease; however, its specific advantages in predicting the use of atherectomy devices during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for moderate to severe calcified lesions remain to be determined.

Ultrasound Appearance of Intravascular Uterine Smooth Muscle Tumor of Uncertain Malignant Potential (STUMP): A Case Report

Diagnostics
A 43-year-old patient with a history of uterine fibromatosis was referred to our hospital for menometrorrhagia and pelvic pain. At the pelvic ultrasound, a highly-vascularized myometrial lesion in volumetric increase was described.

Impact of Epicardial plaQUe Composition and geomeTry on Coronary hEmodynamics and Flow in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease (iEquate)

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Invasive coronary physiology including fractional flow reserve (FFR), instantaneous wave‐free ratio (iFR), and coronary flow reserve (CFR) are guideline‐endorsed tools to guide the management of coronary artery disease (CAD). Complex factors impact and confound these assessments, and discordance between modalities complicates ...

Three‐Year Outcome of Drug Coated Balloon Angioplasty Following Atherectomy for Severely Calcified Coronary Lesions

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We aimed to compare the long‐term efficacy and safety of drug‐coated balloon (DCB) and drug‐eluting stent (DES) following atherectomy for coronary arteries with severely calcified lesions. Of the 258 consecutive patients and 422 de novo lesions treated with DCB at Kanazawa Medical University Hospital, we retrospectively enrolled highly ...

Capabilities of intravascular imaging techniques in the diagnosis of cardiac allograft vasculopathy: Literature review

Вестник трансплантологии и искусственных органов
Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is a coronary heart disease (CHD), arising after an orthotopic heart transplant (OHT), and it is one of the leading causes of death in heart recipients. The probability of death is 10%.

Intravascular Lithotripsy for Coral Reef Aorta and Chronic Mesenteric Ischemia: Case Report and Comprehensive Literature Review

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) secondary to extensive paravisceral atherosclerosis is a rare but challenging vascular condition, often presenting with postprandial abdominal pain, weight loss, and claudication due to impaired blood flow. While surgical bypass is a standard treatment, it carries significant risks, particularly in patients ...
