Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty in Women
Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) for coronary artery disease is currently as successful in women as it is in men. Acute and long-term results are similar for both sexes.

Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in patients with peripheral arterial disease does not affect circulating monocyte subpopulations [PDF]
Monocytes are mononuclear cells characterized by distinct morphology and expression of CD14 and CD16 surface receptors. Classical, quiescent monocytes are positive for CD14 (lipopolysaccharide receptor) but do not express Fc gamma receptor III (CD16 ...

ABSTRACT Background There have been no prior reports of detailed evaluations using intravascular imaging during Jetstream treatment. Aims This study, therefore, aimed to investigate the effects of calcification characteristics and wire bias on lumen gain in Jetstream atherectomy using optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI). Methods This study enrolled
