متن کاملGeographic miss: a cause of treatment failure in radio-oncology applied to intracoronary radiation therapy.
BACKGROUND A recognized limitation of endovascular beta-radiation therapy is the development of new stenosis at the edges of the irradiated area. The combination of injury and low-dose radiation may be the precursor of this phenomenon. We translated the radio-oncological concept of "geographic miss" to define cases in which the radiation source did not fully cover the injured area. The aims of ...
متن کاملIntracoronary Radiation Therapy (IRT) for In-Stent Restenosis
The efficacy of beta and gamma emitters in reducing clinical and angiographic restenosis in patients with in-stent restenosis has been confirmed by a number of studies. This review is intended to give an overview of the individual trials, summarize pertinent lessons that have been learned and give insight into the future of intracoronary radiation. The encouraging results from the clinical tria...
متن کاملFailure of Intracoronary Nitroglycerin
Relief of angina by nitroglycerine has been attributed to two possible mechanisms: (1) Increase in myocardial blood supply by direct acton of the drug on the coronary arteries. (2) Reduction in myocardial oxygen demand by action of the drug on the systemic circulation. Sublingual application of nitroglycerin in previous studies did not allow the ruling out of the operation of either or both mec...
