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…

More than 10 million Americans suffer annually from angina.1 For decades, most of the attention has been focused on epicardial coronary artery disease (CAD). In a European registry of 11,000 stable angina patients, 65% of women and 32% of men had no obstructive CAD (<50% stenosis); however, multiple other studies have demonstrated only 30% of patients have significant obstructive epicardial…

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a disease affecting the pulmonary vascular endothelium of the small pulmonary vessels that causes progressive elevations in pulmonary vascular resistance, leading to right ventricular failure and death. PAH can result from a number of causes or associated risk factors. A clinical classification (Evian classification) was developed in 1993 and subsequently…

Since its original description in 1992, computed tomography angiography (CTA) has advanced from the method of using a simple single-detector to a powerful imaging multidetector system capable of acquiring 16 channels of data with rapid imaging acquisition and higher spatial resolution, while simultaneously allowing patient coverage of more than 120cm with a single scan. Computed tomography (CT)…
