Stenting versus medical treatment for severe symptomatic intracranial stenosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intracranial atherosclerosis is especially prevalent in Asians, but intracranial stent placement and medical treatment for severe intracranial stenosis are controversial. Thus, we compared long-term outcomes of these 2 therapeutic approaches in an Asian population. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with angiographically proved severe (≥70%) symptomatic intracranial atheros...
متن کاملBalloon-expandable Metallic Stents for Airway Diseases.
Stent placement is an essential treatment for airway diseases. Although self-expandable metallic stents and silicone stents are commonly applied for the treatment of airway diseases, these stents are unsuitable for the treatment of small airway diseases encountered in pediatric patients and lung transplant recipients with airway complications. Currently, only vascular balloon-expandable metalli...
متن کاملFast virtual deployment of self-expandable stents: Method and in vitro evaluation for intracranial aneurysmal stenting
INTRODUCTION Minimally invasive treatment approaches, like the implantation of percutaneous stents, are becoming more popular every day for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. The outcome of such treatments is related to factors like vessel and aneurysm geometry, hemodynamic conditions and device design. For this reason, having a tool for assessing stenting alternatives beforehand is cruci...
متن کاملComparison of balloon-expandable valves versus self-expandable valves in high-risk patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis.
BACKGROUND Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as an alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement for patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS) who have a high surgical risk. In Taiwan, this is the first study reporting TAVI outcomes at a single center offering two different transcatheter heart valve technologies via four types of approaches. Our aim was t...
متن کاملConcomitant use of drug-eluting balloon-expandable and self-expandable stents: an approach to avoid surgical revascularization.
We report a patient in whom a balloon-expandable stent and a self-expandable stent were used for percutaneous revascularization of both coronary arteries as an alternative to surgical management. A 50 year-old male with a history of heavy smoking was referred for coronary angiography. Two weeks earlier, he presented with an acute inferior myocardial infarction that was successfully treated with...
