To investigate the prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED) in patients with CAD according to clinical presentation, acute coronary syndrome (ACS) vs. chronic (CCS), and extent vessel involvement (single multi-vessel disease).285 divided into three age-matched groups: group 1 (G1, n=95), ACS one-vessel disease (1-VD); 2 (G2, 2,3-VD; 3 (G3, CS. Control (C, n=95) was composed suspected who were found have entirely normal arteries by angiography. Gensini's score used assess CAD. ED as any value...
AimsAlthough well supported by postmortem studies, the reliability of carotid atherosclerosis as surrogate marker coronary has been put in doubt vivo studies showing a poor correlation between intima-media thickness (IMT) detected external ultrasound (ECU) and stenosis assessed quantitative angiography (QCA). In present study, we have investigated whether stronger two arteries can be obtained using homogeneous variables such IMT, ECU intravascular (IVUS), respectively.
The emerging role of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) as a non-invasive tool for atherosclerosis evaluation is supported by data reporting good correlation between CCTA and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) plaque volume quantification. Aim the present study was to evaluate whether last generation CT-scanner may improve assessment using IVUS standard-of-reference. From registry 1915 consecutive, all-comers, patients who underwent clinically indicated we enrolled 59 with 64-slice...
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....
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of drug-eluting balloons (DEB) for treatment in-stent restenosis (ISR) after carotid artery stenting (CAS).Among 830 consecutive patients undergoing CAS between November 2001 June 2012, significant ISR (>80% stenosis) occurred in 10 (1.2%) asymptomatic patients. Angioplasty with DEB was performed 7 (6 internal 1 common arteries) at a mean 20.9 ± 19.4 months (median 12.1) CAS. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided predilation distal cerebral protection...
Abstract Background Observational studies suggest that low levels of antioxidants are associated with high risk for coronary artery disease (CAD). We investigated whether the biomarkers oxidative balance undergo same modifications in all CAD patient groups, regardless gender and age. Materials methods One hundred sixty‐eight patients 107 healthy controls were assayed plasma reduced glutathione (GSH), α‐ γ‐tocopherol (α‐ γ‐T) as endogenous antioxidants. A damage score (DS), representative...
PurposeTo assess the safety and efficacy of carotid artery stenting (CAS) left internal (LICA) from a right radial/brachial approach in patients with bovine aortic arch. Methods: Among 505 consecutive CAS treated at our facility between June 2007 December 2012, 60 (11.9%) (44 men; mean age 73±9 years) LICA stenosis arch were radial (n=32) or brachial (n=28) approach. Three quarters had characteristics qualifying them high surgical risk; 52 asymptomatic. The types cerebral protection (a...
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.
