Percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty with stenting for stenotic venous bypass grafts: report of two cases

Cases of percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty for renal artery stenosis are increasing. However, percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty with stenting for stenotic venous bypass grafts has never been reported. Herein, the authors describe two cases of percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty with stenting for a stenotic venous bypass graft. The patients in both cases had undergone...

Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of left internal mammary artery grafts.

stenoses or distal native coronary artery stenoses and angina pectoris. The procedure was technically successful in 10 patients and no major complications occurred. During follow up there was one late death, but all 10 surviving patients showed functional improvement. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty seems to be a safe and effective treatment for stenoses of internal mammary artery grafts....

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is a nonoperative mechanical dilatation of atherosclerotic coronary artery stenosis by a balloon-tipped dilating catheter system. This method can effectively reduce highly stenotic coronary lesions and provide early recovery of ischemic but viable myocardium. The technique of transluminal angioplasty was originally devised by Dotter and Judk...
