The last three years have seen the application of percutaneous excimer laser atherectomy in patients sustaining acute myocardial infarction (AMI) gaining momentum. Current efforts in the US are concentrated toward identification of the best technologies for efficacious restoration of flow in the infarct-related vessel and toward shortening the time lag between the presentation of AMI patients to…

This article examines the initial results of the authorÔÇÖs experience to date with percutaneous left ventricular assist (LVA) support of patients in cardiogenic shock, and for temporary left heart support in the setting of high-risk percutaneous intervention. Despite evolving procedural methods, 16 of 18 patients in this study survived to hospital discharge. Intraprocedural complications were…

Abstract
The goal of infrapopliteal endovascular therapy is the re-establishment of straight-line flow to the foot with adequate perfusion of tissue. This treatment should be the first method in properly selected patients to relieve ischemic rest pain, heal ulcers and prevent limb loss, improving quality of life. Percutaneous angioplasty (PTA) continues to be the cornerstone of infrapopliteal…

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Clinical Syndromes
Stable Angina
The primary benefit of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) over medical therapy in patients with stable angina is the improved quality of life. The PCI in stable angina (ORBITA) trial was the first sham-controlled trial of PCI where 200 medically optimized patients with single vessel disease were randomized to PCI or…

Despite important therapeutic improvements in pharmacological and device therapies, the prognosis for patients with advanced cardiovascular disease is poor, even with optimal pharmacological and device management. Heart failure continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the US. It is the leading medical cause of hospitalization and is expected to result in an estimated direct and…
