Background/Objectives: Dual-layer stents (DLS) with micromesh technology may offer better protection from plaque protrusion compared to single-layer (SLS), but little data are available. The aim of this study is compare clinical outcomes elective carotid artery stenting for asymptomatic and symptomatic patients treated primary CAS DLS or SLS in a high-volume center. Methods: This single-center retrospective cohort included who underwent between December 2006 September 2023. final analysis...
The objective of the present study was to investigate an effect renal artery sympathetic denervation (RASD) on patients with resistant hypertension and RASD cardiac nerve activity. It is known that abnormally activated tone associated progression heart failure (HF).We investigated 16 arterial (mean age 54.88±7.89 years, mean 24-hr ambulatory blood pressure [BP] systolic 161.07±20.12 mmHg, diastolic 97.6±16.25 using 6.44±0.96 antihypertensive drugs), who underwent bilateral RASD....
Although applanation tonometry is the most widely used method for evaluating arterial stiffness, oscillometric ambulatory blood pressure monitoring devices using specific algorithms pulse wave analyses have been validated more recently. Currently, it not clear how to interpret 24-h mean values of stiffness parameters. The objective this study was compare parameters obtained device (Mobil-O-Graph) against a single-measure tonometric system (SphygmoCor).We measured brachial and central...
AbstractAims After the sequence of Symplicity HTN trials, impact procedure on lowering blood pressure (BP) and cardiovascular risk is still debatable. We present initial results multimodal pilot study that aimed at carefully selecting proper patients investigating effects RASD cardiac morphology central haemodynamic parameters in 15 with resistant arterial hypertension prior 6 months after RASD.Methods The (applanation tonometry, echocardiography magnetic resonance (CMR)) findings have shown...
Renal artery denervation (RDN) is a new widely discussed method in treatment of hypertension. Most the RDN studies assessed BP and arterial changes 3 6 months after procedure, but there lack trials that investigated early RDN. To investigate aortic stiffness 24-48 hours procedure thus to examine whether might have an additive value for cardiovascular risk decline beyond lowering blood pressure. was performed 73 patients with resistant Arterial central haemodynamics were measured before next...
Background and Objectives: Pretreatment with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) is still recommended in all eligible acute ischemic stroke patients large-vessel occlusion before mechanical thrombectomy (MTE). However, the added value safety of bridging therapy versus direct MTE remains controversial. We aimed at evaluating influence r-tPA dose level middle cerebral artery (MCA) treated MTE. Materials Methods: prospectively compared clinical radiological outcomes 38 patients, 65 receiving for MCA...
Background and Objectives: Renal artery denervation (RDN) procedure is a broadly discussed method in the treatment of resistant hypertension. Many studies report short-term (3–12 months) results for blood pressure arterial stiffness. The primary endpoints were changes 24 h mean systolic (BP) office BP 48 months after RDN. secondary aortic pulse wave velocity impact polypharmacy on these variables. Materials Methods: was performed 73 patients treated hypertension; 49 remained final analysis....
Background: Acute embolic ischemic stroke poses a significant healthcare challenge. Histological clot features’ variability among patients with acute treated by mechanical thrombectomy has potential implications for determining treatment and etiology. This study investigated the histological feature differences who experienced cardioembolic of undetermined source different left atrial appendage (LAA) morphologies. Methods: We conducted prospective observational involving 79 undergoing...
Although the complication rate of percutaneous coronary intervention is low, artery perforation occurs in 0.2-0.5% cases. Intracoronary glue injection not an established treatment option, with only a few cases reported literature and no use n-hexyl-cyanoacrylate. Case report: A 75-year-old man was diagnosed non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. Since there acute chest pain signs ongoing ischemia on ECG, diagnostic angiography performed day after arrival. The revealed proximal subocclusion...
Background: To assess hypertension related cardiovascular risk parameters in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. determine the effect of long-term treatment corticosteroids, non-steroid antiinflammatory drugs, and methotrexate on diurnal BP variability. Material methods: 60 clinically stable arthritis treated hypertension. Casual blood pressure measurement 24-hour ambulatory monitoring. Results: Mean casual systolic 139.0 ± 14.6 mmHg, diastolic 85.7 6.5 heart rate 74.9 7.2 beats.min-1. 129.0...
Symptom relief is currently the main indication to perform percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of chronic total occlusion (CTO). So far, none randomized trials for CTO treatment have demonstrated improved survival after PCI compared optimal medical (OMT) alone. We investigated whether in addition OMT could improve over Data 1004 patients with a treated was analysed. Patients acute syndrome and who underwent artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) were excluded, thus final study population...
Background. Constantly evolving guidelines for the treatment of ischemic stroke in light widely published clinical trials show no final consensus; many factors that may significantly alter outcomes are still under investigation. Each center treats patients with due to major artery occlusion differently depending on available resources, expert judgment, and experience. The aim this study was evaluate influence periprocedural (intravenous thrombolysis, balloon-occlusive catheter use, number...
