Dynamic Coronary Roadmapping via Catheter Tip Tracking in X-ray Fluoroscopy with Deep Learning Based Bayesian Filtering [PDF]
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is typically performed with image guidance using X-ray angiograms in which coronary arteries are opacified with X-ray opaque contrast agents. Interventional cardiologists typically navigate instruments using non-contrast-enhanced fluoroscopic images, since higher use of contrast agents increases the risk of ...

The Road to the Ideal Stent: A Review of Stent Design Optimisation Methods, Findings, and Opportunities [PDF]
Coronary stent designs have undergone significant transformations in geometry, materials, and drug elution coatings, contributing to the continuous improvement of stenting success over recent decades. However, the increasing use of percutaneous coronary intervention techniques on complex coronary artery disease anatomy continues to be a challenge and ...

Successful multiple segment coronary angioplasty: Effect of completeness of revascularization in single-vessel multilesions and multivessels [PDF]
A long-term follow-up study was performed to evaluate the long-term value of performing multiple dilatations according to their procedural (single-vessel multilesion or mutltivessel dilatations) and anatomic types (single-vessel disease with multiple ...

Measurement of Individual Alteration in Perioperative ECGs During Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention [PDF]
The increasing availability of wearable electrocardiography (ECG) devices enables the continuous monitoring of individual ECG alterations. This could be beneficial for patients suffering from acute ischemia but with non-standard ECG findings that do not fit to the subject-independent and absolute thresholds defined in clinical guidelines. In this work,

Rounded notch method of femoral endarterectomy offers mechanical advantages in finite element models [PDF]
Objective: Use of a vascular punch to produce circular heel and toe arteriotomies for femoral endarterectomy with patch angioplasty is a novel technique. This study investigated the plausibility of this approach and the mechanical advantages of the technique using finite element models.

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty
This paper is the first report from the Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) Registry of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). The era of interventional cardiology was born with the performance of the first successful balloon angioplasty by Andreas Gruentzig ...
