Liquid Core Light Guide for Laser Angioplasty
INTRODUCTION ECHNICAL demands for laser angioplasty catheters, T particularly for destinations in coronary arteries are in general, more stringent than those for angiography and balloon angioplasty . Catheters for laser angioplasty must be flexible and atraumatic in order to safely negotiate the angles of curvature encountered within tortuous and stenotic vascular lumens while being rugged, mec...
متن کاملLawd – Laser Assisted Wire Drawing
In conventional wire drawing the diameter of a wire or rod-like workpiece is reduced by drawing it through a conical die. Dieless drawing of a wire or a rod is realized by a localized heating of the work piece. As heat source for example an induction coil can be used. Immediately after having passed the heating zone the work piece is cooled to restrict the heat input on very small region. By ap...
متن کاملGuide-Wire Assisted Endobiliary Forceps Biopsy Sampling
Biopsy procedures for sampling of the proximal bile duct during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) can be technically difficult. Insertion of biopsy forceps into the bile duct is not an easy task and can cause some adverse events. In addition, controlling and positioning the forceps can be difficult during targeted sampling of a designated area. If we could easily insert biop...
متن کاملDetection of coronary collateral flow by a Doppler-tipped guide wire during coronary angioplasty.
Coronary collaterals may not be apparent during routine coronary angiography or during coronary angioplasty as a result of a variety of physiologic and anatomic factors.‘-” The dynamic nature of the collateral circulation has been demonstrated by newly appearing angiographic collaterals during contralateral vessel occlusion.3 An elevated coronary occlusion wedge pressure during angioplasty ball...
متن کاملCoronary perforation to the left ventricular cavity by a guide wire during coronary angioplasty.
We describe a case in which the guide wire penetrated through the left anterior descending artery into the left ventricular cavity during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. This complication of coronary angioplasty which had not been previously reported was suspected because of the characteristic motion of the guide wire on the X-ray image and was confirmed by echocardiography.
