Abstract We report interventional management of critical hand ischemia after transradial coronary angiography. The radial artery occlusion was confirmed by Doppler ultrasound and digital subtraction angiography. The radial artery was…
Abstract A 75-year-old man with severe aortic stenosis, severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, NYHA class III heart failure and a large abdominal aortic aneurysm underwent concurrent transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve…
Abstract This case reports the sudden development of large burden of thrombi in the left anterior descending coronary artery immediately following distal left main stenting using TAP technique in a…
Abstract We present the case of a patient with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) due to subtotal occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery caused by an atherosclerotic lesion and…
Abstract Background Coronary atherosclerosis often involves small-caliber coronaries, yet the safety and efficacy of 2.25-mm DES have been poorly defined, with a general lack of separation of 2.25 with 2.5-mm…
Abstract Radial artery spasm is a rare complication of transradial cardiac catheterization. We describe a case of severe radial artery spasm causing catheter entrapment. The spasm was resistant to local…
Abstract Purpose The purpose of this study was to compare plaque characteristics of native coronary atherosclerosis and in-stent neointima ten months after ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) using iMap intravascular…
Abstract Background Successful recanalization of true chronic total occlusion (CTO) has been linked to a decrease in cardiac mortality. We evaluated the effect of CTO recanalization on LVEF and regional…
Abstract Background/Purpose We update the pre-clinical and early clinical results using a novel endovascular approach, to perform chemical renal denervation, via peri-adventitial injection of micro-doses of dehydrated alcohol (ethanol–EtOH). Methods/Materials…
Abstract Patients diagnosed with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are occasionally found to have no culprit lesion on coronary angiography and are classified as presenting with false-positive STEMI. The clinical…
