Percutaneous coronary revascularization has revolutionized modern cardiovascular care. It has become one of the most well-studied and frequently performed procedures in modern medicine and is currently performed in more than 900,000 patients per year, exceeding the rate of coronary bypass surgery. It is used in an increasingly large number of patient subsets and used to treat an increasingly…

In this video, Professor Bruno Scheller (Saarland University, Saarbrücken, DE) sits down to discuss the one-year angiographic outcomes of two parallel randomized trials investigating the effectiveness off sirolimus-coated and paclitaxel-coated DCB's in the treatment of coronary in-stent restenosis. Findings suggest comparable outcomes in both devices.

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of small-vessel coronary artery disease (SVD) is challenging because of difficulties with equipment delivery and high restenosis rates. Drug-coated balloons (DCBs) are an attractive emerging PCI option for patients with SVD.
Small-vessel coronary artery disease
SVD was defined in the Intracoronary Stenting or Angioplasty for Restenosis Reduction in Small…

Coronary angioplasty has revolutionized the treatment of coronary artery disease. Over the past two decades the field has seen numerous innovations in an attempt to perfect the percutaneous management of coronary atherosclerotic disease. The development of coronary stenting was a major advance in preventing elastic recoil and treating dissections following balloon angioplasty.1 Unfortunately,…

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…

In this video, Dr Arditya Damarkusuma (Universitas Gadjah Mada, ID) presents his case report on aorto-ostial lesions, recently published in ICR Journal.This case covers the restenosis of a markedly protruding stent at the right coronary ostium in a 54-year old man, and is unusual in its 10-year longevity. Intravascular ultrasound-guided in-stent restenosis intervention using a wire bumper…

Drug-eluting stents (DES) have revolutionized the field of interventional cardiology. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is expecting that the total number of DES implanted in 2010 will surpass 5 million worldwide. Although initial results seemed promising, longer-term follow-up in a wider range of patients revealed some concerns. Enhanced platelet aggregation, delayed neointimal growth, a…

Stroke, the third leading cause of death in the US, remains one of the most feared conditions of our modern society. Many fear a neurologic catastrophe resulting in a chronic vegetative state more than death. Likewise, much of our modern medical practice seeks to maintain a healthy state free of such diseases. Almost one half of strokes are related to atherosclerotic disease found at the carotid…
