Quantitative angiography after directional coronary atherectomy.
OBJECTIVE To assess by quantitative analysis the immediate angiographic results of directional coronary atherectomy. To compare the effects of successful atherectomy with those of successful balloon dilatation in a series of patients with matched lesions. DESIGN Case series. SETTING Tertiary referral centre. PATIENTS 62 patients in whom directional coronary atherectomy was attempted betwe...
متن کامل‘Optimal’ Directional Coronary Atherectomy
Background—Previous clinical trials of directional coronary atherectomy (DCA) have failed to show significant improvement in early or late outcomes compared with balloon angioplasty (PTCA). The present study tested the hypothesis that more aggressive “optimal” atherectomy could be performed safely to produce larger initial lumen diameters and a lower late restenosis rate. Methods and Results—Th...
متن کاملDirectional Coronary Atherectomy
Background. Directional coronary atherectomy has recently become available to treat coronary stenoses. This study was performed to determine the relation of patient characteristics and stenosis morphology to procedural outcome with directional coronary atherectomy to gain insight into which patients might be best treated with this device. Methods and Results. Four hundred stenoses from 378 pati...
متن کاملAntioxidants and prevention of restenosis after directional coronary atherectomy.
Directional Coronary Atherectomy To the Editor: The negative results obtained with carvedilol in the European Carvedilol Atherectomy Restenosis (EUROCARE) trial led Serruys et al1 to question the value of antioxidants for the prevention of restenosis after coronary angioplasty. An important flaw in study design, however, invalidates the conclusions reached by the authors. The antioxidant probuc...
متن کاملAn unusual cause of abrupt vessel closure.
A 60 year old woman presented with chest pain. An ECG showed ST depression across the anterior leads and lateral T wave inversion and angiography showed a significant proximal circumflex lesion. After percutaneous intervention to the circumflex artery she had a cardiac arrest and died. Postmortem examination found a stent blocked with a combination of thrombus and a tangle of translucent materi...
