Abstract No. 622 Utility of over-dilation of 10 mm TIPS stent with 12-mm balloon angioplasty

Response of very small (2 mm) porcine coronary arteries to balloon angioplasty and stent implantation.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the response of very small coronary arteries to stent deployment and balloon angioplasty. SETTING Normal porcine coronary arteries. METHODS 24 pigs underwent intervention to two main coronary arteries, in segments 2.0 mm in diameter, with balloons whose diameter was 2.5 mm at standard pressure. Twelve arteries received a BiodivYsio small vessel (SV) stent; 12 an NIR...

Using 6-mm Cutting Balloon angioplasty in patients with resistant peripheral artery stenosis: preliminary results.

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of 6-mm Cutting Balloon angioplasty in patients with resistant peripheral stenoses caused by neointimal hyperplasia or irradiation-induced arteriopathy in vascular territories that are not amenable for use of the smaller Cutting Balloons that are used in cardiology. CONCLUSION Peripheral Cutting Balloon angioplasty with the new ...

Enhancement - Mode InAlN / AlN / GaN HEMTs With 10 − 12 A / mm Leakage Current and 10 12 ON / OFF Current Ratio

Postprocessing annealing in forming gas at 400 ◦C was performed on enhancement-mode lattice-matched InAlN/AlN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistors fabricated by selective etch of InAlN under a Pt gate. After postprocessing annealing, the device reverse gate leakage current decreased from 10−7 to 10−12 A/mm at Vgs = −1 V and Vds = 6 V, showing an ON/OFF current ratio of 10 that is the highest ...

Re: "Initial experience with the 5×300-mm Proteus Embolic Capture Angioplasty balloon in the treatment of peripheral vascular disease".

PURPOSE To describe the use of the 5 × 300-mm Proteus embolic capture angioplasty (ECA) balloon catheter to reduce embolic burden in complex TASC II (TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus) C and D femoropopliteal interventions. METHODS A non-randomized safety and feasibility study was conducted at 2 centers enrolling 15 subjects (9 women; mean age 72.5 ± 9.5 years, range 53-85) suffering from...
