The value of myocardial perfusion imaging with Tc-99m MIBI for the prediction of perfusion improvement after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty
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 کاملAssessment of patients skin dose undergoing coronary angiography and Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA)
Background: Practice of interventional cardiology procedures such as Coronary angiography (CA) and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) has largely increased in recent years and is now changing to a matter of routine in many hospitals. The purpose of this study was to measure skin and organ doses in patients undergoing CA and PTCA and to find a probable relation with c...
متن کاملSimultaneous cannulation: a technique for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty of chronic total occlusions.
Three patients with indications for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of a totally occluded coronary artery also had distal opacification by a collateral vessel. The balloon catheter and guide wire were manipulated proximally through the guide catheter. With a second catheter, angiography of the collateral vessel opacified the occluded artery distal to the obstruction. In all three cases, s...
متن کاملAdjunctive Intracoronary Infusion of Antithrombin III During Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplast Results of a Prospective, Randomized Trial
Background Heparin needs the plasma protein antithrombin III to function as an inhibitor of thrombin, and local antithrombin III deficiency might therefore limit the antithrombotic effectiveness of heparin during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. Methods and Results In the present double-blind study, 615 consecutive patients undergoing percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplast...
متن کاملAttenuated physical exercise capacity in smokers compared with non-smokers after coronary angioplasty despite similar luminal diameters.
AIMS To study the impact of smoking on the change in exercise capacity in patients treated with coronary angioplasty. METHODS Three hundred and sixty-eight men below 70 years of age eligible for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty without previous coronary interventions were consecutively enrolled. Of the 334 patients (90.8%) who completed the study 77 (23.1%) were current smokers....
