چکیده
A patient who lost consciousness and had a convulsion caused by brain ischemia during balloon inflation in connection with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty was successfully treated with a continuous-perfusion dilatation catheter without complications.

Introduction: Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is an effective method for revascularizing of stenotic coronary vessels. Lack of response to this treatment, either in symptomatic or asymptomatic patients, is usually due to incomplete revascularization, restenosis, and/or irreversibility of myocardial perfusion. Introduction of a noninvasive metho...
متن کاملFibromuscular dysplasia of the internal carotid artery: percutaneous transluminal angioplasty.
Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty was used to successfully dilate critical narrowings of the internal carotid artery caused by fibromuscular dysplasia. The technique of this new procedure is presented along with the angiographic findings and results in three patients. Angioplasty may be used as an alternative to open arteriotomy and graduated dilatation in treating stenosis due to symptomat...

OBJECTIVE As the mortality associated with coronary artery bypass grafts has fallen, morbidity has become an increasing problem. The improvement of transluminal carotid angioplasty is enlarged to patients with asymptomatic severe carotid stenosis (> 85%) requiring coronary surgery. METHODS Between January 1993 and January 1995, 10 patients underwent percutaneous carotid angioplasty prior to c...
متن کاملPercutaneous transluminal carotid angioplasty and detachable balloon embolization in fibromuscular dysplasia.
Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD), a vascular disease of unknown etiology, most often affects the renal arteries (85% of cases) of young females [1] . However, this disease may also produce areas of stenosis at the C1-C2 vertebral level in the internal carotid artery (ICA) [1, 2]. Lesions producing symptoms have been managed by bougie dilatation, surgical endarterectomy, excision and artery reconst...
متن کاملPercutaneous transluminal angioplasty of the external carotid artery: preliminary report.
Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) using a coax ial catheter system was reported by Dotter and Judkins [1] in 1964. Ten years later in 1974, Gruntzig and Hopff [2] reported the development and successful clinical use of a doublelumen balloon catheter. The smaller diameter and flexibi lity of the catheter made possible more selective vessel dilatations. The balloon is of low compliance ...
