Deep reinforcement learning for guidewire navigation in coronary artery phantom [PDF]
, 2021 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]
, 2022 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 ...

A direct comparison of decision rules for early discharge of suspected acute coronary syndromes in the era of high sensitivity troponin [PDF]
, 2018 Background: We tested the hypothesis that a single high sensitivity troponin at limits of detection (LOD HSTnT) (<5 ng/l) combined with a presentation non-ischaemic electrocardiogram is superior to low-risk Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events ...

SARS-CoV-2 triggered seizure complicated by fatal subdural hematoma under edoxaban and clopidogrel
Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care, 2022 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]
arXiv, 2023 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.

Giant Right Coronary Artery Aneurysm Following Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty
Journal of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography & Cardiovascular Imaging, 2021 Coronary artery aneurysm following percutaneous coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is rare in interventional cardiology. Several factors may contribute to the development of such complication following PTCA that include stent size, improper apposition, nature ...

Robust Landmark-based Stent Tracking in X-ray Fluoroscopy [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 In clinical procedures of angioplasty (i.e., open clogged coronary arteries), devices such as balloons and stents need to be placed and expanded in arteries under the guidance of X-ray fluoroscopy. Due to the limitation of X-ray dose, the resulting images are often noisy.
