Calcified Lesions
In 1988, the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Task Force on Assessment of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Cardiovascular Procedures published a report regarding appropriate utilization of PTCA in the treatment of patients with coronary artery disease. In that report, moderate-to-heavy calcification (Type B characteristic) was considered an important risk factor for procedura...
متن کاملA noncompliant, high pressure balloon to manage undilatable coronary lesions.
Undilatable coronary lesions, due to coronary calcification, are encountered with increasing frequency. Percutaneous intervention of such lesions comes with the risk of stent underexpansion, which increases the risk of stent thrombosis and restenosis. A variety of techniques and devices are available to assist the interventionist in the treatment of calcified lesions. The OPN NC (SIS-Medical AG...
متن کامل7. Angioplasty for Calcified Lesions
1. Evaluation of calcified lesions − Angiography and IVUS Evaluating the size and depth of calcified lesions prior to intervention is crucial. In our experience, angiography and IVUS are give different results. For example, Colombo et al have evaluated target lesion calcification using both angiography and IVUS, and found that angiography indicated calcification in 15% of the total number of le...
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 کاملFrom Reasonably Incomplete to Functionally Complete Revascularization
Soon after the introduction of coronary artery bypass surgery, the completeness of revascularization became a matter of concern. Several early surgical studies confirmed the belief that better clinical outcomes were obtained when each and every angiographically visible stenosis was bypassed by a distal anastomosis.1,2 Similarly, among patients with multivessel disease treated with percutaneous ...
