Percutaneous coronary laser thermal angioplasty.
Percutaneous coronary laser thermal angioplasty was successfully performed before conventional balloon angioplasty in a 55 year old white man with a 90% left anterior descending artery stenotic lesion and angina at rest (Canadian Heart Association class IV). The lesion was reduced to 50% residual stenosis using a 1.7 mm laser-heated metallic capped fiber and two pulses of 8 W of argon laser ene...
متن کاملPrimary Stenting Versus Balloon Angioplasty in Occluded Coronary Arteries
Background—Balloon angioplasty (PTCA) of occluded coronary arteries is limited by high rates of restenosis and reocclusion. Although stenting improves results in anatomically simple occlusions, its effect on patency and clinical outcome in a broadly selected population with occluded coronary arteries is unknown. Methods and Results—Eighteen centers randomized 410 patients with nonacute native c...
متن کاملAngiopeptin inhibits intimal hyperplasia after angioplasty in porcine coronary arteries.
BACKGROUND Restenosis is mediated by uncontrolled neointimal growth at the site of coronary angioplasty. Angiopeptin is an octapeptide analogue of somatostatin that has been shown to decrease the experimental intimal hyperplasia associated with vascular injury in rats and rabbits. The study purpose was to determine if angiopeptin inhibits the development of intimal hyperplasia in normolipemic s...
متن کاملCoronary excimer laser angioplasty: reduced complications and indium-111 platelet accumulation compared with thermal laser angioplasty.
The relative safety and thrombogenicity of pulsed excimer and thermal laser angioplasty systems were compared in 20 normal coronary artery segments in a total of seven pigs. Using similar over the wire catheter systems and laser delivery periods of 3 to 5 s, thermal laser angioplasty was achieved with a 1.3 mm metal probe heated with 10 W of continuous argon laser energy and excimer laser angio...
متن کاملPerivascular inflammation after balloon angioplasty of porcine coronary arteries.
BACKGROUND Inflammation has been suggested to play a role in vascular lesion formation after angioplasty. Whereas previous studies have focused on inflammatory reactions in the intima and media, less attention has been paid to adventitial and perivascular responses and their potential role in vascular remodeling. METHODS AND RESULTS Balloon overstretch injury of porcine coronary arteries was ...
