Introduction: Tracheal stenosis is normally caused by trauma, infection, benign and malignant tumors, prolonged intubation or tracheostomy. The best treatment for tracheal stenosis is resection and anastomosis of trachea. Yet the major surgical complication of tracheal surgery is postoperative stenosis. The goal of this paper is to study the result of tracheal stenting as a replacement therap...

background: carotid artery stenting is now used as an alternative to surgical endarterectomy. this study was done to assess the feasibility, safety, and immediate and late clinical outcomes in patients undergoing carotid stenting . methods: between july 2008 and december 2009, a total of 40 patients (20 male, mean age: 65 ± 11 years, 19 symptomatic, and 90% high risk for endarterectomy) underwe...

background: the p ulsatility index (pi) shows continuous blood flow to the end organs and is a significant factor believed to decrease in aortic coarctation. correction of this factor is of great importance in the treatment of stenotic lesions of the aorta. however, there are minimal data regarding the trend of changes in the pi after stent implantation. furthermore, the association between the...

our aim was to report techniques and our experience in one-stage angioplasty and stenting of ostium of left common carotid and left internal carotid arteries in an octogenarian man with transient ischemic attack, who was completely recovered from neurologic insults short time after the procedure. an 81-year-old man presented with a transient ischemic attack. neurologic examination showed left s...

background: optimal timing and mode of treatment for patients with coarctation of the aorta ( coa ) remain controversial, particularly in children. surgery, balloon dilatation, and stent implantation have all proven effective in the treatment of moderate or severe obstruction. the aim of this study was to investigate the complications of coa stenting angioplasty in pediatric patients. methods: ...

background: venoplasty and stenting is a minimally invasive therapy that can be used for patients with deep venous insufficiency in the lower extremities. this study aimed at investigating the effect of venoplasty and venous stenting in patients with chronic venous insufficiency in the lower limbs. methods : this prospective case-series study recruited patients with chronic deep venous insuffic...

Background Aortic Coarcatation (CoA) is one of the congenital heart diseases with the rate of 5-8% of Coronary heart diseases(CHDs). Balloon angioplasty is now one of the effective way of treatment for CoA, native or Re-coarctation (Re-CoA). We aimed to assess the immediate, and short term response to angioplasty and stenting, and also complications. Materials and Methods Balloon angioplasty wi...

background: carotid artery stenting (cas) has recently been recommended as an alternative to carotid endarterectomy (cea) by some clinicians. objective: this study was designed to evaluate the success rate and in-hospital and 30-day adverse events in our first experiences in iran for cas with protection devices, to document our results and guide further use of cas. methods: from december 2003 t...
