The use of excimer laser for complex coronary artery lesions
Abstract Excimer laser coronary atherectomy (ELCA) has been used for coronary intervention for more than 20 years. Advances in delivery systems for laser energy using the xenon-chlorine pulsed laser catheter…
Use of the GuideLiner catheter in facilitating coronary and graft intervention
Abstract Visualization of distal vessel run-off following contrast injection in a coronary artery or bypass graft may be poor due to suboptimal ‘seating’ of the catheter or to competitive antegrade…
Complex interventional procedures for the management of early postoperative left main coronary artery embolism after bioprosthetic aortic valve insertion
Abstract The incidence of calcified debris coronary embolism after aortic valve replacement (AVR) with a bioprosthesis is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition. We sought to describe a case of…
Single coronary artery but dual left anterior descending coronary artery anomaly
Due to high spatial resolution and ability to create 3-dimensional reconsctruction of the vasculature multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) allows for improved, noninvasive, and accurate visualization of coronary artery anomalies ….
Endovascular treatment of coronary steal
Abstract Postoperative angina is generally caused by subclavian artery stenosis or flow diversion in anomalous or large unligated side branches of the left internal mammary artery. Previously, surgery was the…
