Intravascular Ultrasound Balloon Catheter
Background Coronary stenting in conjunction with coronary angioplasty is a valuable tool for treatment of severe coronary dissection and is effective in reducing the frequency of restenoses. Evidence is increasing that the lumen gain within the stent is negatively correlated with the rate of subacute closures and restenoses. Since the assessment of radiolucent coronary stents and complex lumen ...
متن کاملTreatment of chronic deep vein thrombosis using ultrasound accelerated catheter-directed thrombolysis.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility, efficacy and safety of ultrasound-accelerated catheter-directed thrombolysis (UACDT) in the delayed treatment of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT). DESIGN Twelve patients with unilateral iliofemoral or femoropopliteal DVT (mean symptom duration 92 ± 44 days) were prospectively investigated. METHOD UACDT was performed using recombinant human ...
متن کاملTransesophageal echocardiography in rats using an intravascular ultrasound catheter.
In vivo assessment of cardiac structure and function in small animals is an important experimental goal, but currently available techniques have significant limitations. A commercially available intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) system was adapted to perform transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in rats. Twelve Sprague-Dawley rats (270-370 g) were anesthetized with intraperitoneal pentobarbital ...
متن کاملCatheter-directed ultrasound-accelerated thrombolysis for the treatment of acute pulmonary embolism.
BACKGROUND Systemic thrombolysis rapidly improves right ventricular (RV) dysfunction in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) but is associated with major bleeding complications in up to 20%. The efficacy of low-dose, catheter-directed ultrasound-accelerated thrombolysis (USAT) on the reversal of RV dysfunction is unknown. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of 2...
