Drug eluting stents: managing coronary artery stenosis following PTCA.
Drug eluting stents (DES) release drugs that inhibit tissue growth in narrowed coronary arteries in an effort to prevent restenosis, a renarrowing of the artery. Several types of DES are under investigation in clinical trials; however, none are currently approved for use in Canada. Preliminary trial data are encouraging, demonstrating greater lumen diameter and reduced restenosis with DES versu...
متن کاملSubacute bilateral coronary ostial stenoses following cardiac catheterization and PTCA.
Accelerated coronary ostial stenosis is an infrequent late complication of coronary artery catheter instrumentation during aortic valve surgery, PTCA, or coronary angiography. We report the first case of bilateral coronary artery ostial stenoses developing after cardiac catheterization and right coronary artery PTCA. In patients with worsening angina following cardiac catheterization or PTCA, a...
متن کاملTransluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA)
Forty–six patients (21 with stable angina and 25 with chronic myocardial infarction, 37 men) with a total chronic proximal coronary occlusion and collateral vessels to the distal part of the occluded artery (30 LAD, 10 RCA and 6 CX properly distributed in both groups) were studied angiographically before and 2 to 8 months (mean 6) after balloon angioplasty. The patients were divided in six subg...
متن کاملReview of Hardware for PTCA
There is a growing inventory of dilatation hardware at the disposal of the interventional cardiologist. The purpose of this review is to compare the distinguishing features of current and anticiputed equipment which should be considered in the selection of hardware for performing corona y angioplasty (PTCA). New guiding catheters designed to improve “back-up” support for di#icult anatomic varia...
متن کامل[Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA)].
In 1959, Dr. Mason Sones reported on selective coronary arteriography, a technique that quickly became the standard for precise diagnosis of coronary artery disease. In the early 1960s Drs. Dotter and Judkins introduced the original concept of using a catheter to dilate an atherosclerotic obstruction in a peripheral artery. Now, almost 2 decades later, the selective coronary catheter is being p...
