Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty [PDF]
We outline the present role of angioplasty in the management of peripheral vascular disease and its application to other portions of the arterial and venous systems; we summarize several large series, including our own, which encompass more than 4,000 cases; and we discuss the pathophysiology of balloon dilation techniques and the criteria for patient ...

Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty [PDF]
DR. Andreas Gruntzig and his colleagues are to be congratulated. In this issue of the Journal, they report on their experience with their first 50 patients undergoing percutaneous transluminal coro...

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty
Dotter and Judkins (1) in 1964 reported the use of coaxial dilating catheters in remodeling the lumen of obstructed peripheral arteries. In Zurich in 1977 Griintzig (2) reported the first transcutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty using a system for mechanically dilating a stenosed epicar• dial artery.

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty [PDF]
Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, first performed in man in 1977, has been used increasingly in selected patients with angina pectoris due to coronary atherosclerosis. Patients with single-vessel coronary artery disease in whom the stenosis is relatively proximal, noncalcified, discrete, and tapered rather than eccentric are the best ...

Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty of Crural Arteries [PDF]
In 91 patients suffering from peripheral arterial occlusive disease (Fontaine stage IIb—IV) 125 percutaneous transluminal angioplasties (PTA) of crural arteries were performed. Eighty-six of the dilatations were done in combination with a recanalization procedure (PTA, laser angioplasty, fibrinolysis) of a femoropopliteal obstruction in order to ...

ABSTRACT Background Venous outflow is the favored access for endovascular management of dialysis fistulas. However, transradial access (TRA) offers advantages in specific clinical scenarios. The study aims to compare the efficacy, feasibility, and safety of TRA and transvenous access (TVA) in the endovascular management of malfunctioning dialysis ...

ABSTRACT Background Coronary slow flow and no reflow significantly predict poor prognosis in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients, especially those with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Early identification of factors contributing to these conditions can mitigate ischemic events and improve outcomes.

ABSTRACT Background Clinical studies have demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of drug‐coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty for femoropopliteal revascularization. Long‐term studies in routine practice are limited. Aims The aim of this study was to assess long‐term outcomes after DCB angioplasty for femoropopliteal peripheral artery disease in a real ...

ABSTRACT Background Plug‐based vascular closure devices (Pb‐VCD) and suture‐based vascular closure devices (Sb‐VCD) are used for percutaneous vascular access site closure during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Until now, no clear superiority of either device was shown in studies comparing 18 F VCDs solely.
