Aim: The safety and efficacy of ad hoc PTCA has been previously reported and
this approach is performed in many angioplasty centers as a routine procedure.
The aim of this study is to examine whether this approach reduces the length,
and cost of hospital stay. Methods and results: To determine the hospital costs
we studied 2,440 PTCAs over 11 years in our institution (1990–2000). Urgent PTCA

Transluminal Angioplasty, Thrombolysis, and Stenting for Extracranial and Intracranial Cerebral Vascular DiseaseJournal of Interventional Cardiology - Tập 9 Số 3 - Trang 245-255 - 1996

Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, alone or in conjunction with thrombolysis
and/or stenting, is now being performed in selected cases for hemodynamically
significant stenosis (> 70%), involving both extracranial and intracranial
cerebral vascular lesions. In the majority of cases, atherosclerosis was the
major cause for symptomatic narrowing, although other causes included
fibromuscular dyspl... hiện toàn bộ
Transcatheter Closure of Congenital Ventricular Septal Defects: Experience with Various DevicesJournal of Interventional Cardiology - Tập 16 Số 1 - Trang 83-91 - 2003
Ramesh Arora, Vijay Trehan, Ashish Kumar, Dinesh Kumar, Madhuri Nigam
Transcatheter closure of congenital ventricular septal defect (VSD) using
various devices is gaining acceptance in selected cases of perimembranous and
muscular defects, avoiding the inherent risks of cardiopulmonary bypass. The
procedure was attempted in 137 patients having congenital defects using Rashkind
Umbrella Device (RUD) in 29 patients, Amplatzer ventricular septal occluder
(AVSO) in 107 ... hiện toàn bộ
The Use of Impella 2.5 in Severe Refractory Cardiogenic Shock Complicating an Acute Myocardial InfarctionJournal of Interventional Cardiology - Tập 28 Số 1 - Trang 41-50 - 2015

ObjectivesTo investigate the outcome of patients with acute myocardial
infarction (AMI) complicated by refractory cardiogenic shock (CS) who underwent
mechanical circulatory support with Impella 2.5.BackgroundAMI complicated by CS
remains a highly fatal condition. A potent and minimally invasive left
ventricular assist device might improve patient outcomes.MethodsWe analyzed the

Is Postdilatation with a Noncompliant Balloon Necessary after Coronary Stent Deployment during Primary Angioplasty?Journal of Interventional Cardiology - Tập 26 Số 4 - Trang 325-331 - 2013

AbstractBackgroundPostdilatation (PD) with noncompliant balloon during elective
percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is performed usually in clinical
practice in order to optimize stent expansion. However, current knowledge about
its use in patients undergoing primary PCI is controversial. This study aims to
evaluate the angiographical and clinical results of PD in patients who underwent

Direct Stenting Versus Pre‐Dilation in ST‐Elevation Myocardial Infarction: A Systematic Review and Meta‐AnalysisJournal of Interventional Cardiology - Tập 28 Số 2 - Trang 119-131 - 2015

ObjectivesThis study aimed at comparing direct stenting (DS) versus stenting
with pre‐dilation (SP) in patients with ST‐elevation myocardial infarction
(STEMI), using a systematic review and meta‐analysis of published
evidence.BackgroundThere is conflicting evidence whether stenting strategy
impacts clinical outcomes in patients with STEMI.MethodsWe searched EMBASE,

Catheter Closure of Congenital/Acquired Muscular VSDs and Perimembranous VSDs Using the Amplatzer DevicesJournal of Interventional Cardiology - Tập 16 Số 5 - Trang 399-407 - 2003
Basil D. Thanopoulos, Karanassios Evangelos, George S. Tsaousis, G S Papadopoulos, Christodoulos Stefanadis
Over the past 10 years a variety of occluding devices has been used for
transcatheter closure of ventricular septal defects (VSDs), but none has gained
wide acceptance. This article presents the experience of transcatheter closure
of muscular and perimembranous VSDs in 22 and 13 patients, respectively, with
the new Amplatzer VSD occluders. Overall total occlusion was achieved in 95% and
92.3% of p... hiện toàn bộ
Pathology of the Thin‐Cap Fibroatheroma:Journal of Interventional Cardiology - Tập 16 Số 3 - Trang 267-272 - 2003
Renu Virmani, Allen Burke, Frank D. Kolodgie, Andrew Farb
Thin cap atheroma is the precursor of plaque rupture, which accounts for a
majority of coronary thrombi. The morphologic features of thin cap atheromas
that predict rupture are unknown, but we know from studies of ruptured plaques
that large necrotic cores, fibrous cap <65 microns and numerous macrophages
within the cap likely indicate instability. There is some evidence that a
speckled pattern of... hiện toàn bộ
