To examine the cardiovascular adaptations and functional capacity (6 min walk test, rate of perceived exertion, resting heart rate, maximal systolic diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure) by giving Aerobic Exercises in Post Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty patients. The need for study is to know efficiency aerobic exercises post percutaneous transluminal coronary angiop...

  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...

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 method with high predictive value ...

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 cardiologi...

Background: The number of interventional cardiology (IC) procedures has increased rapidly. coronary angiography (CA) and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) are now widely performed as a matter of routine, and they are considered safe procedures for experienced cardiologists. However, it is also known that these procedures are associated with high radiation doses due to long f...

In 1959, Dr. Mason Sones reported on selective coronary arteriography, a technique that quickly became the standard for precise diagnosis of coronary artery disease. In the early 1960s Drs. Dotter and Judkins introduced the original concept of using a catheter to dilate an atherosclerotic obstruction in a peripheral artery. Now, almost 2 decades later, the selective coronary catheter is being p...

Introduction: Coronary angiography is the most common angiographic procedure for diagnosis and treatment of the heart diseases. Herein, we aimed to evaluate the entrance surface dose (ESD), dose area product (DAP), as well as cancer risk in interventional cardiology procedures. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted during July-December 2015 at Shahid Madani Heart Center in Khorramabad...

Coronary artery dissection is a common occurrence after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). However, we report herein a rare case of double-barrel coronary artery dissection occurring 1 year after PTCA for stenosis in the left circumflex coronary artery. The case history and angiographic findings are reported, and relevant literature is reviewed.

OBJECTIVE To investigate changes in cytokine expression in the coronary circulation induced by percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). METHODS The study involved 32 patients with ischaemic heart disease who underwent elective PTCA for isolated stenotic lesions of the left coronary artery. Ten patients had plain old balloon angioplasty, 10 had percutaneous transluminal rotationa...
