Using 6-mm Cutting Balloon angioplasty in patients with resistant peripheral artery stenosis: preliminary results.

چکیده
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of 6-mm Cutting Balloon angioplasty in patients with resistant peripheral stenoses caused by neointimal hyperplasia or irradiation-induced arteriopathy in vascular territories that are not amenable for use of the smaller Cutting Balloons that are used in cardiology. CONCLUSION Peripheral Cutting Balloon angioplasty with the new 6-mm Cutting Balloon device proved useful in the short term for treatment of peripheral arterial stenoses resistant to conventional angioplasty.

Renal artery rupture following cutting balloon angioplasty for fibromuscular dysplasia: a case report
INTRODUCTION Angioplasty with the use of cutting balloons has been suggested by some case reports and small series for the treatment of renal artery stenoses that are resistant to conventional balloon catheters. Based on this limited experience, the use of this technology has been suggested as safe. Herein, we report a renal artery rupture following angioplasty with a cutting balloon. The compl...
متن کاملThe safety and feasibility of transradial cutting balloon angioplasty: immediate results, benefits, and limitations.
Cutting balloon angioplasty can reduce the restenosis rate more than conventional balloon angioplasty, but is traditionally performed through a femoral artery. However, it is not clear how useful a transradial approach would be for cutting balloon angioplasty. This study was conducted to examine the safety, feasibility, and limitations of transradial as opposed to transfemoral cutting balloon a...

BACKGROUND Atherosclerosis in the superficial femoral artery is common in patients suffering from peripheral artery disease. Paclitaxel-eluting balloon (PEB) angioplasty, stenting, and directional atherectomy (DA) have provided new options for the treatment of superficial femoral artery disease; however, the comparative efficacy of these interventional strategies remains uncertain. METHODS On...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the use of a cutting balloon to overcome aorto-ostial lesions before stent implantation and thereby reduce the restenosis rate. DESIGN Observational follow up study. SETTING Tertiary referral centre. PATIENTS Eight patients (two female, six male) aged 58.2 (SD 10.1) years with Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) grade II-IV angina were recruited. They each had a...

Balloon dilatation angioplasty was successfully performed in five patients (ages 18 months to 17 years) with discrete aortic coarctation. The catheter size was No. 8F or 9F. Selection of balloon diameter was based on angiographic measurements of the aorta determined proximal and distal to the coarctation site. A 10 sec inflation-deflation cycle at 6 to 8 atmospheres (90 to 120 psi) was performe...
