Since its inception in December 2006, the EuroCTO Club has strived to provide framework for state-of-the-art chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) Europe and nearby regions. Among initiatives, published a set of recommendations regarding technical aspects CTO PCI, whose last edition dates 2012. The consensus document discusses PCI clinical indications, techniques equipment use, as well qualifications operators/centres. Given considerable amount progress made...
To compare the feasibility and safety of proximal cerebral protection to a distal filter during carotid artery stenting (CAS) via transbrachial (TB) or transradial (TR) approach.Among 856 patients who underwent CAS between January 2007 July 2015, 214 (25%) (mean age 72±8 years; 154 men) had procedure TR (n=154) TB (n=60) approach with either Mo.MA (n=61) (n=153). The group 73±7 54 significantly more men severe stenosis than 71±8 100 men). Stent type technique were left operator discretion....
Abstract Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) has been recognized as a clinical entity complicating radiofrequency or cryoenergy ablation for atrial fibrillation. Although reduced by technical and procedural advancements, this complication portends remarkable morbidity presents insidiously with non-specific symptoms causing frequent misdiagnosis wrong management that lead to detection delay major adverse implications. Non-invasive imaging is key timely diagnosis transcatheter planning. Most recent...
Background Destabilization of the fibrous cap facilitates plaque rupture, thrombus formation, and myocardial infarction. Because systemic stimuli, such as lipoproteins, infectious agents, autoantigens, may incite this reaction, one wonder whether disruption mechanisms are only local or infarction is caused by an arbitrary event a systemic, acute activity coronary disease. Methods Results Early (3 to 5 days) late (1 month) peri-infarction angiographic data in 23 patients with first were...
This single-center, observational, prospective study evaluated the impact of patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure on migraine attacks over time.PFO may reduce frequency and severity headaches in patients with significant right-to-left shunts.Between May 2000 September 2009, 305 consecutive (mean age, 43 ± 12 years; 54.5% women) a prior embolic cerebrovascular event underwent PFO Amplatzer occluder for recurrence prevention. All had shunts; shunts were associated symptoms 77 (25%), either alone...
To compare the diagnostic accuracy of stress computed tomography myocardial perfusion (CTP) for detection significant coronary artery disease with visual approach vs. quantitative analysis transmural ratio (TPR) in consecutive symptomatic patients scheduled invasive angiography (ICA) plus fractional flow reserve (FFR).Eighty-eight underwent rest (cCTA) followed by static stress-CTP. Diagnostic cCTA + stress-CTP evaluation and TPR measurement was calculated compared ICA FFR. Addition...
Abstract The effect of stent coatings in preventing early thrombotic occlusion remains to be proved. purpose this study was evaluate the safety and efficacy Carbostent™, a new coronary with nonthrombogenic coating (Carbofilm™), 110 consecutive patients (73.6% men, mean age 61 ± 9 years) who met prespecified clinical angiographic inclusion criteria were treated aspirin monotherapy after stenting. Stable angina (75.5%), unstable (18.2%), silent ischemia (6.3%) indications for...
Treatment of intracoronary thrombus poses difficult problems and may result in severe complications. We used a local delivery catheter (InfusaSleeve, LocalMed, Palo Alto, CA) to treat an occlusive coronary that was refractory systemic thrombolysis conventional angioplasty. After administration 10 mg abciximab with this there successful resolution vessel recanalization. Cathet. Cardiovasc. Intervent. 48:211–213, 1999. © 1999 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
Abstract Worse outcomes have been observed in women after PTCA. The present study was undertaken to compare clinical and angiographic results of coronary stenting among men. We retrospectively analyzed acute 6‐month a consecutive series 940 men 160 undergoing stent implantation between May 1992 January 1998. Women were older (63 vs. 57 years; P = 0.001), more often hypertensive (46.9% 31.4%; < 0.001) diabetic (13.2% 8.3%; 0.05), less smokers than (32.5% 70.5%; 0.001). A previous history...
Purpose: To report the use of a new self-expanding endograft for percutaneous treatment iatrogenic subclavian artery perforations.Case Reports: The 2 patients was inadvertently cannulated during attempts to implant permanent pacemaker in one and catheterize vein other.Because both had serious comorbidities, endovascular repair perforations performed using Hemobahn endograft, nitinol stent covered internally with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene.The endoprostheses were successfully deployed...
