To date, there are no AEs or SAEs related to COVID-19, and while a number of aspects of the study SAP are under discussion, no specific changes have yet been adopted. The Evaluation of Treatment Strategies for Severe CaLcIfic Coronary Arteries: Orbital Atherectomy vs. Conventional Angioplasty...
What are the risks of the procedure?You may bleed more than expected or get an infection. Your artery may be damaged or tear. Your arteries may become completely blocked during the procedure. This stops blood flow and may lead to a heart attack. You may need coronary artery bypass graft ...
Safety and Feasibility of Rotational Atherectomy for Retrograde recanalization of chronically occluded coronary arteries. Front Cardiovasc Med. Jun. 2022;9. https://doi.org/10.3389/fcvm.2022.854757 Pagnotta P et al. Sep., Rotational atherectomy in resistant chronic total occlusions, Catheterization ...
Fourth, this study did not analyze the IVUS parameters associated with lipid components and the remodeling index which were recognized as the factors of slow flow in the patients with acute coronary syndrome13,30. However, the absence of lipid and the outline of vessels are not evaluable ...
Left main coronary disease was defined as >50% stenosis of the left main coronary artery. Multivessel disease was defined as >70% stenosis in two or more major coronary arteries (left descending, left circumflex, and right coronary artery). Bailout RA was defined as RA after failure of ball...
The technique was successful in 9 of 11 patients in whom it was attempted.doi:10.1016/S0735-1097(02)81026-9Wustmann, KerstinPohl, TilmannZbinden, StephanWindecker, StefanEberli, Franz R.Meier, BernhardSeller, ChristianElsevier BVJournal of the American College of Cardiology...
colleagues (2012) examined the effects of percutaneous transluminal coronary rotational atherectomy (PTCRA) for coronary artery disease in patients with non-complex and complex lesions (e.g., ostial, long or diffuse lesions or those arising from in-stent re-stenosis) of the coronary arteries. ...
Calcium deposits within a coronary artery are a harbinger of previous inflammation, healing, and scarring. Significant calcification is synonymous with significant atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD). Coronary calcification can be spread diffusely throughout coronary arteries, during imaging of the...
The DEFINITVE CA++ was a prospective single-arm registry evaluating the use of embolic filter protection with SilverHawk and TurboHawk DA in 133 patients with moderate to severely calcific superficial femoral and popliteal arteries. The primary safety endpoint, freedom from major adverse events at 30...
Lower success rates have been reported when treating high-risk lesions in saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) and native coronary arteries with balloon angioplasty. The transluminal extraction atherectomy catheter (TEC) has been proposed to reduce the incidence of distal embolization (DE) in subsets of ...
