Full feature selection for estimating KAP radiation dose in coronary angiographies and percutaneous coronary interventions [PDF]
In interventional cardiology (IC) the radiation dose variation is very significant, and its estimation has been difficult due to the complexity of the treatments. In order to tackle this problem, the aim of this study was to identify the most important demographic and clinical features to estimate Kerma-Area Product (KAP) radiation dose in coronary ...

Balloon Angioplasty - The Legacy of Andreas Grüntzig, M.D. (1939-1985)
In 1974, at the Medical Policlinic of the University of Zürich, German-born physician-scientist Andreas Grüntzig (1939-1985) successfully applied a balloon-tipped catheter to re-open a severely stenosed femoral artery, a procedure which he initially ...

Diplopia After Coronary Revascularization
Percutaneous coronary intervention is a coronary revascularization procedure that may rarely result in thromboembolic events. Although infrequent, ophthalmological complications of percutaneous interventions include a wide range of clinical presentations,

Deep reinforcement learning for guidewire navigation in coronary artery phantom [PDF]
In percutaneous intervention for treatment of coronary plaques, guidewire navigation is a primary procedure for stent delivery. Steering a flexible guidewire within coronary arteries requires considerable training, and the non-linearity between the control operation and the movement of the guidewire makes precise manipulation difficult.

Towards reliable calcification detection: calibration of uncertainty in coronary optical coherence tomography images [PDF]
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has become increasingly essential in assisting the treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD). Image-guided solutions such as Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) are extensively used during the treatment of CAD. However, unidentified calcified regions within a narrowed artery could impair the outcome of the PCI ...

SARS-CoV-2 triggered seizure complicated by fatal subdural hematoma under edoxaban and clopidogrel
SARS-CoV-2 associated coagulopathy may manifest as hypocoagulability with a propensity for bleeding. Here we report a COVID-19 patient with fatal subdural hematoma (SDH) shortly after thrombendarteriectomy (TEA), and anticoagulation together with anti ...

A Synopsis of Stent Graft Technology Development [PDF]
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of death worldwide. Treatments have evolved, with stenting becoming the primary approach over bypass surgery. This article reviews the evolution of coronary stent technology, starting from the first angioplasty in 1977. Pioneers like Forssmann, Dotter, and Gruentzig established the foundation.
