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...
متن کاملCarotid artery stenting for calcified lesions.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Our aim was to assess the feasibility of carotid artery stent placement (CAS) for calcified lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using embolic protection devices (EPDs), we performed 51 CAS procedures in 43 patients with severe carotid artery stenosis accompanied by plaque calcification. Before intervention, all lesions were subjected to multidetector-row CT. The arc of the c...
متن کاملStenting of coronary bifurcation lesions: case series.
AIM To assess the procedural success and major cardiac event rate after stenting of coronary bifurcation lesions. METHODS The prospective study included 36 patients with coronary artery bifurcation lesion treated with stenting between January 1999 and December 2001 at the Institute for Heart Disease, Skopje University Center. There were 23 men and 13 women, with a mean age of 62.5+/-12.3 year...
متن کاملHuman Coronary Artery Lesions:
Atherothrombotic is a systemic disease of the coronary vessel wall that causes coronary artery lesions appearing heterogeneous in morphology and chemical constitution. Disrupting or vulnerable plaques in the coronary arteries exhibit a thin fibrous cap (fibrous cap thickness 65 to 150 μm) with a large lipid core, as defined by American Heart Association AHA plaque type V-Va [1]. Acute coronary ...
متن کاملConsecutive Endovascular Treatment of 20 Ruptured Very Small (<3 mm) Anterior Communicating Artery Aneurysms.
BACKGROUND Small aneurysms located at the anterior communicating artery carry significant procedural challenges due to a complex anatomy. Recent advances in endovascular technologies have expanded the use of coil embolization for small aneurysm treatment. However, limited reports describe their safety and efficacy profiles in very small anterior communicating artery aneurysms. OBJECTIVE We so...
