A Case of Balloon Rupture During Coronary Angioplasty: Slow Flow Requiring Swift Action

Balloon rupture during coronary angioplasty causing dissection and intramural hematoma of the coronary artery; a case report

Flow velocity and predictors of a suboptimal coronary flow velocity reserve after coronary balloon angioplasty.

AIMS This study was conducted to analyse flow velocity parameters and predictors of a suboptimal coronary flow reserve (<2.5) following balloon angioplasty. METHODS Two hundred and twenty-five patients underwent sequential intracoronary Doppler as part of the DEBATE I study. Of these, 183, with complete angiography and Doppler at the 6-month follow-up, were included. Univariate and multivaria...

Rupture of a saphenous vein bypass graft during coronary angioplasty.

A self-limited rupture of a five month old saphenous vein bypass graft occurred during coronary angioplasty when the balloon used to stretch the vessel proved to be too large. A lack of fibrous tissue in the new graft may have predisposed it to rupture.

coronary slow flow phenomenon and atrioventricular block: a case report

the coronary slow flow phenomenon (csfp) is characterized by a delayed coronary blood flow in the absence of an obstructive coronary artery disease. although the relation between the csfp and myocardial ischemia has been reported previously, there is no knowledge about the relationship between the csfp and the conduction system disorder. in this case report, we describe a patient with the csfp ...
