arteriesin the legs, just as it does in the heart. Likeangiography, it involves inserting a thin tube (catheter) into the femoralarteryat a point near the groin, then threading it down into the thigh. However, instead of releasing a dye, this catheter carries a balloon on its tip. By ...
Angioplasty is a technique that involves dilatation and recanalisation of a stenosed or occluded artery. The objective of this review was to determine the effects of angioplasty of arteries in the leg when compared with non surgical therapy, or no therapy, for patients with mild to moderate ...
Patency rates were calculated on the basis of the Kaplan–Meier analysis. Results The overall primary technical success rate was 97.89% for the iliac arteries and 92.35% for the SFA. Minor complications (hematoma, distal emboli and vessel dissection) were documented in 11.79% for the iliac ...

Patients were matched according to age, sex, smoking, coronary heart disease, and RBC in a 2:1 fashion, with a maximal difference of 0.2 for the propensity variable. Results Between January 2011 and June 2016, a total of 7,357 patients with arteriosclerotic lesions of femoropopliteal arteries ...
Coronary artery disease is caused due to the blockage of the coronary artery and this blockage occurs when the inner wall of the artery is damaged. [caption align="aligncenter" width="351"] Heart Bypass Surgery vs Angioplasty[/caption] The inner walls of arteries get damaged due to various ...
A solid state Er:YAG laser operating at 2.94μm, which is at the absorption peak of biological tissue, was used to ablate calcified and uncalcified atherosclerotic plaque in human arteries. The experiments were done in vitro. The laser radiation was passed through a flexible zirconium fluoride ...
Angioplasty is a method of expanded arteries that have become blocked, typically arteries leading to the heart, in which case the procedure is called coronary angioplasty. Arteries can become blocked for a number of reasons, the most common of which is atherosclerosis, a disease characterized by ...
Magnesium sulfate therapy improves symptoms and controls seizures, possibly related to its vasorelaxive effects in spastic arteries. Some cases, however, are refractory to magnesium therapy. To our knowledge, there is no report of angioplasty for vasospasm from eclampsia in the literature. METHODS A...
