Renovascular Hypertension [PDF]

open access: yesHypertension, 2014
A 69-year-old women smoker was referred to the nephrology clinic for assessment of hypertension and declining kidney function. At the time of referral, serum creatinine was 241 μmol/L and office blood pressure was 191/100 mm Hg. Her general practitioner had already performed 24-hour ambulatory monitoring and found no evidence of a white coat component ...

Evaluation of the apposition in unruptured aneurysms treated with flow diverters by optical coherence tomography: Preliminary clinical experience

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2022
BackgroundThe risk of perioperative stroke and the rate of occlusion of long-term aneurysms in the treatment of unruptured aneurysms with flow diverters (FDs) are affected by stent apposition.

Successful Treatment of Bronchoesophageal Fistula With Esophageal and Bronchial Stenting

open access: yesJournal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2011
Bronchoesophageal fistula is reported in 5-10% of patients with esophageal cancer. In most of these cases, the insertion of a single stent, either a tracheobronchial or an esophageal stent, is sufficient to seal off the fistula.

The Road to the Ideal Stent: A Review of Stent Design Optimisation Methods, Findings, and Opportunities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
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 ...

High-Speed Rotational Atherectomy Versus Modified Balloons Prior to Drug-Eluting Stent Implantation in Severely Calcified Coronary Lesions: The Randomized PREPARE-CALC Trial

open access: yesCirculation. Cardiovascular Interventions, 2018
Background: Balloon dilatation or debulking seems to be essential to allow successful stent implantation in calcified coronary lesions. Compared with standard balloon predilatation, debulking using high-speed rotational atherectomy (RA) is associated ...

Stenting the Undeployed Stent

open access: yesJapanese Heart Journal, 2004
Undeployment of a stent which poses a potential risk for future events may become a serious problem in the catheter laboratory. Herewith, we present a case in which we successfully stented an undeployed stent in the distal right coronary artery.

Severe Stroke Patients With Left-Sided Occlusion of the Proximal Anterior Circulation Benefit More From Thrombectomy

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2019
Background and Purpose: Endovascular thrombectomy improves the functional independence of patients with proximal anterior circulation occlusion. However, a subset of patients fail to benefit from thrombectomy procedures, the reasons for which remain ...

A Synopsis of Stent Graft Technology Development [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 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.

Carotid Artery Stent Continued Expansion Days After Deployment, Without Post Stent Deployment Angioplasty. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
This is a carotid artery stent (CAS) case report, which avoids post-stent deployment angioplasty (Post-SDA), with duplex confirmed continued stent expansion at 1, 3 and 30-day post deployment.
