Drug-coated balloons (DCBs) are a recognized alternative to stents for the treatment of in-stent restenosis (ISR), and there is some initial clinical evidence about their efficacy small coronary vessels. Newer-generation DCBs were developed overcome reduced deliverability previous generation, also warranting more effective drug delivery vessel wall. However, vast majority new-generation still lack reliability due paucity data.Between 2012 2015, all patients treated with Elutax SV DCB (Aachen...
Whereas effusive-constrictive pericarditis (ECP) can rarely occur in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), to date no cases of ECP related severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV2) vaccine have been documented.A 59-year-old Caucasian man presented our emergency department with ECP. Symptoms occurred shortly after the second dose BNT162b2 (Comirnaty) vaccine. No other aetiological causes were identified. Guidelines-directed therapy for was implemented, clinical benefit.Systemic...
The in vivo antiatherogenic activity of the calcium antagonist, lacidipine, was investigated two different types atherosclerotic lesions (proliferative and fatty lesions) induced rabbits. proliferative lesion obtained by positioning a hollow silastic collar around one carotid artery, while aortic were cholesterol feeding. Cholesterol (1%) lacidipine (1,3, 10 mg kg −1 ) given daily mixed with standard diet for 8 weeks to White New Zealand intimal hyperplasia lesion) 6 after dietary drug...
With this prospective study we aim at investigating the long-term outcome of a consecutive cohort patients successfully treated with bioresorbable scaffold (BVS) implantation.It is not clearly understood if there relation between technique BVS implantation and outcome.Between December 2012 2014, all were included in registry received an angiographic follow-up. After run-in phase, implanted using specific consisting aggressive predilation, correct sizing, visually determined, high-pressure...
Stent thrombosis (ST) is a life-threatening, although quite rare, complication of percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting. According to the Academic Research Consortium, it may be defined as definite, probable, or possible. Moreover, its occurrence after index procedure differentiates between early, late and very late. This associated high morbidity mortality has impact on global health patients cardiovascular disorders, therefore multifactorial approach seems useful tool for...
Intravascular injection of angiographic contrast media results in peripheral vasodilation and hypotension. The mechanisms underlying these hemodynamic changes are not entirely clear. We hypothesized that increased formation nitric oxide (NO) could be involved the vasodilatory response to media. To address this assumption we have investigated whether N(G)-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA, 200 mg/kg) N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 50 mg/kg), two specific NO inhibitors, can abolish...
