Pre-drug-eluting stent debulking of bifurcated coronary lesions.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of plaque debulking by directional coronary atherectomy (DCA) before drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation for bifurcated coronary lesions. BACKGROUND The introduction of DES significantly reduces restenosis and repeated revascularization. However, percutaneous coronary intervention of bifurcated lesions using DES alone remains...
متن کاملUltrasound findings during percutaneous treatment of bifurcated coronary lesions.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Provisional stenting has been shown to be effective in the treatment of bifurcated coronary lesions. The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in the geometry of the main vessel stent following side branch (SB) dilatation and kissing balloon (KB) inflation. METHODS The study involved 23 patients with a bifurcated coronary lesion. A first intravascular ultrasoun...
متن کاملStent treatment of coronary artery bifurcation lesions.
In percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs), the treatment of bifurcation lesions is a challenge to the interventional cardiologist. PCI operators, in general, use the term coronary artery bifurcation (from latin furca 1⁄4 fork, branch): (i) when a coronary artery divides into two equally important branches or (ii) when a main branch gives away a side branch, which is large enough to be of ha...
متن کاملResolute zotarolimus eluting stent for treatment of long coronary lesions.
Historically the treatment of long coronary lesions required overlapping stents, which has been associated with higher incidence of cardiovascular events. The current availability of long drug eluting stentsizes has enabled treatment of such lesions with one, or at least fewer stents e reducing cost and areas of stent overlap. However, longer lesion and stent length continues to be associated w...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
