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: 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...

  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...

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...

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 ...

OBJECTIVES How effective and safe is rescue percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty [PTCA] compared with primary PTCA, and is it cost effective? BACKGROUND In acute myocardial infarction (AMI), primary PTCA has been shown to be beneficial in terms of clinical outcome. In contrast, the value of rescue PTCA has not been established. METHODS In a retrospective analysis, we compared the ...

CONTEXT A meta-analysis found that primary percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) was more effective than thrombolytic therapy in reducing mortality from acute myocardial infarction. However, fewer than 20% of U.S. hospitals have facilities to perform PTCA and many clinicians must choose between immediate thrombolytic therapy and delayed PTCA. COUNT The number of minutes of PTC...

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is a minimally invasive image-guided technique for treatment of coronary diseases. PTCA procedure requires physicians to have good skills of hand-eye coordination in performing the operation. Training of PTCA thus very much emphasizes skill building for hand-eye coordination. We have been developing virtual reality (VR) technology for medica...

OBJECTIVE To assess the safety and feasibility of acute transport followed by rescue percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) or primary PTCA in patients with acute myocardial infarction initially admitted to a hospital without PTCA facilities. DESIGN In a multicentre randomised open trial, three regimens of treatment of acute large myocardial infarction were compared for patient...

BACKGROUND Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) improve the clinical status of patients with isolated proximal left anterior descending coronary artery stenosis. At 2 years, only additional revascularization was more frequently required after PTCA. METHODS AND RESULTS We monitored 134 patients randomized to PTCA (n=68) or CABG (n=66) ...
