Background Although clinical trials have reported favorable outcomes after drug‐coated balloon (DCB) therapy for femoropopliteal lesions, their real‐world performance and predictors not been well evaluated. This study aimed to elucidate 1‐year freedom from restenosis explore the associated factors a DCB lesions in settings. Methods Results multicenter, prospective cohort registered 3165 de novo or restenotic femoropopliteallesions (mean lesion length, 13.5±9.3 cm; chronic total occlusion,...
The new recommendation of the International Commission on Radiological Protection for occupational eye dose is an equivalent limit to 20 mSv year-1, averaged over a 5-year period. This drastic reduction from previous 150 year-1. Hence, it important protect physicians' eyes X-ray radiation. Particularly in interventional radiology (IVR) procedures, many physicians use protective lead (Pb) glasses reduce their exposure. study assessed shielding effects novel 0.07 mm Pb glasses. (XR-700) have...
Drug-coated balloons (DCBs) are commonly used for endovascular treatment of femoropopliteal lesions. Here, we employed intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) to investigate the predictors restenosis after DCB treatment.This retrospective and single-center study was performed examine 1-year primary patency identify risk factors by analyzing clinical characteristics, angiographic findings, IVUS measurements. We included 111 consecutive patients undergoing de novo lesions at our hospital from July...
Purpose: To investigate if balloon angioplasty with a prolonged inflation time (>3 minutes) can prevent postdilation dissection in femoropopliteal lesions. Methods: A retrospective single-center analysis examined 294 consecutive patients (mean age 74.1±8.7 years; 215 men) de novo lesions treated between 2013 and 2018. The were classified into 2 groups to compare angiographic patterns: 175 for 3 minutes (3-minute group) 119 >3 (>3-minute group). Results: Mean was 7.8±2.7 the...
Previous studies have shown comparable outcomes between first-generation high-dose drug-coated balloon (HD-DCB) and second-generation low-dose (LD-DCB) for femoropopliteal artery disease. However, data about the clinical performances of these DCBs longer lesions in real-world settings are limited. In this multicenter, retrospective study, HD-DCB (IN.PACT, Medtronic, MN, USA) LD-DCB (Ranger, Boston, MA, were assessed cases disease with lesion length ≥ 150 mm. From database, 288 patients...
Purpose To investigate the incidence of acute limb ischemia (ALI) among patients with femoropopliteal (FP) lesions treated contemporary endovascular therapy (EVT) and to identify risk factors for ALI after FP-EVT. Methods In this retrospective multicenter registry, we analyzed lower extremity artery disease having FP who underwent EVT between 2017 2021. We investigated incident related index its factors. also assessed prognosis ALI. Results During a median follow-up 35.3 months, was observed...
Fluoropolymer-coated drug-eluting stents (FP-DESs) are widely used to treat femoropopliteal artery (FPA) disease. However, data on the pattern and timing of recurrence after FP-DES implantation limited. This study aimed address this knowledge gap. multicenter retrospective analyzed 439 limbs 398 patients treated with FP-DESs for de novo FPA lesions. The outcome measures were clinical outcomes in cases recurrence, defined as a composite restenosis reocclusion. was categorized into early...
Purpose: Surgical thromboendarterectomy has been the gold standard treatment for common femoral artery (CFA) disease. However, endovascular therapy (EVT) is conducted in certain patients with CFA lesions because of multiple comorbidities. The interwoven nitinol stent (IWS) developed to prevent fracture. Thus, this study aimed evaluate feasibility EVT using IWS clinical practice. Materials and methods: This retrospective multicenter registry analyzed who had symptomatic lower-extremity...
Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical effects intraoperative tranexamic acid administration in cardiac surgery without blood transfusion (bloodless surgery) children. Methods Seventy-one consecutive patients weighing less than 20 kg, who underwent bloodless for simple atrial or ventricular septal defects at Kobe Children’s Hospital from January 2011 June 2013, were enrolled retrospective study. Tranexamic administered during 2012 (TXA group; n = 31), whereas it not...
Purpose: To investigate the efficacy of scoring balloons for immediate success percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in femoropopliteal lesions. Materials and Methods: Between 2013 2019, 398 consecutive patients with de novo lesions were treated using PTA our hospital. The procedure rate was compared among undergoing vs without after 1:1 propensity score matching on hemodialysis, TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus II classification, Peripheral Arterial Calcium Scoring System (PACSS)...
Aim: This study aimed to reveal whether a larger postprocedural minimum lumen area (MLA) would reduce restenosis risk after endovascular therapy (EVT) using drug-coated balloons (DCBs) in femoropopliteal (FP) lesions.
The importance of ventricular pacing site in pediatric pacemaker therapy has gradually become recognized. We reviewed our experience with a left (LV)-prioritized strategy. METHODS AND RESULTS: Between 2000 and 2012, 60 patients underwent 76 permanent implantations. Eight the 29 reoperations involved lead repositioning for pacing-induced dysfunction. Freedom from failure was 96.3%, 86.8%, 81.0% at 1, 3, 5 years, respectively. independent predictors were age (P=0.026) peak minimal energy...
Objective Although midazolam is one of the most commonly used sedatives for infants in intensive care unit, it has well-known disadvantages including a dose-dependent potential to induce tolerance, withdrawal, and hemodynamic depression. The aim this study was evaluate clinical effects dexmedetomidine combined with postoperative following pediatric cardiac surgery. Methods Forty consecutive who underwent surgery isolated ventricular septal defects from January 2011 July 2013 were enrolled...
We investigated the sleep-wake rhythm of nursery school children with aim supporting their health and balanced mental/physical development. analyzed 4881 from infant to 6 years age, using 2-week sleep tables recorded by guardians. The table contains onset times, wake nighttime/daytime duration, differences in these between weekdays weekends. total decrement age is due a decrease daytime only, nighttime duration remains almost unchanged at about 10 hours, therefore called basic (NBSD). While...
