Plain balloon angioplasty in femoropopliteal and below-the-knee arteries is currently associated with unacceptably high restenosis rates. Drug-eluting balloons are a promising novel technology for endovascular treatment of lower limb atherosclerotic disease. Among a variety of current commercially available devices, the Cotavance® Paclitaxel-coated Balloon Angioplasty Catheter is the device wit...

S ince the initial case of plain old balloon angioplasty by Andreas Grüntzig in 1977, there has been tremendous advancement in the treatment of coronary artery disease. After balloons and bare-metal stents (BMS), the introduction of drugeluting stents (DES) in 2002 transformed the practice of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) by significantly reducing rates of restenosis and repeat revas...

Coronary stent implantation has significantly improved percutaneous coronary intervention and enabled the management of early complications of plain balloon angioplasty (POBA). By preventing elastic recoil and constrictive remodeling, coronary stent implantation decreases the frequency of restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention. However, a new complication has accompanied these impr...
متن کاملLong Coronary Lesions: Challenging Cases for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Long coronary lesions are associated with adverse outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention since the era of plain balloon angioplasty. Long lesion and long stent length are considered as important predictors of restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention. With the advent of newer generation drug eluting stents, there has been dramatic reduction in the rates of restenosis and re...

Drug-eluting balloon (DEB) with angioplasty a paclitaxel-coated balloon catheter is an effective treatment option in patients with in-stent restenosis (ISR) after a drug-eluting stent (DES). We describe a case in which 'no-reflow' phenomenon developed after DEB angioplasty of a DES ISR lesion. Coronary flow was restored after intracoronary administration of nicorandil.
