Endovascular scaffolds have been tried in animals long ago, but it took 70 years to introduce stents into clinical practice. In 1994, two major randomized trials confirmed that stenting after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) does indeed reduce the incidence of restenosis, as well...

A woman in the United States is more likely to die from coronary heart disease than from any other health problem. Yet, despite the fact that coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death in U.S. women, responsible for almost 1/4 million fatalities annually, virtually all the inform...
The analysis is framed in a context of a health technology maturing over the diffusion process to become increasingly common and replacing the older incumbent technology. We focus on Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), also known as Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA). We use ...

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) of CTO is associated with very high restenosis and reocclusion rates. Coronary stenting has been proposed as a means of improving outcome. However, the Wiktor device for CTOs has never been tested in a large patient sample. Methods. From ...
What is the view from outside the lab? In the past diagnostic catheterization was very simple to understand. The basic concepts of one-, two-, and three-vessel disease translated easily into medical or surgical management. Even in the early PTCA era plain balloon angioplasty was intelligible ...
