Distal embolization of hydrophilic-coating material from coronary guidewires after percutaneous coronary interventions.
BACKGROUND Coronary guidewires are indispensable during percutaneous coronary interventions. Nowadays, most guidewires have hydrophilic coatings to improve their trackability, allowing easy lesion passage and facilitating balloon and stent positioning. Recent reports, however, have raised concerns about detachment and subsequent embolization of these hydrophilic coatings. METHODS AND RESULTS ...
متن کاملStroke after percutaneous coronary interventions.
n this issue of the Journal, Dukkipati et al. (1) identified the ncidence, predictors, and outcomes of stroke in patients ndergoing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs). troke occurred in hospital in 92 of 20,670 patients (0.3%) fter PCI, which is higher than the reported rates of 0.08% o 0.17% after diagnostic catheterization (2). The good news in this report is that brain injury hapened...
متن کاملDistal Embolization in Femoropopliteal Interventions
D istal embolization (DE) occurs frequently during femoropopliteal (FP) interventions. Treatment of FP atherosclerotic lesions with balloon angioplasty, stenting, atherectomy, embolectomy, or catheter-directed lysis is likely to yield significant debris.1-11 Despite a high rate of DE reaching 100% in some reports,3,10 data suggest that only 2% to 3% of patients will eventually require additiona...
متن کاملDistal protection devices during percutaneous coronary and carotid interventions
Distal embolization of particulate matter complicates percutaneous coronary and peripheral interventions more often than had been recognized until recently. A number of distal protection devices are under development. The PercuSurge GuardWiretrade mark is a balloon occlusion thrombectomy device approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for saphenous vein graft intervention. A n...
متن کاملInflammation and restenosis after percutaneous coronary interventions.
The role of inflammation in the development of restenosis after percutaneous coronary interventions has been investigated in several studies. There is an interaction of inflammatory activation and vascular wall response to injury leading to intimal hyperplasia. Percutaneous interventions trigger inflammatory reactions leading to the development of intimal hyperplasia. This reaction is even more...
