Restenosis following transluminal angioplasty in experimental atherosclerosis.
Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty has received considerable attention in the treatment of obstructive atherosclerotic lesions in humans. However, restenosis frequently occurs and has limited the long-term effectiveness of this procedure. To study restenosis, a model of atherosclerosis was developed in 16 New Zealand rabbits. Atherosclerosis was induced in one or both iliac vessels by balloo...
متن کاملCytomegalovirus and restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.
Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty To the Editor: Manegold et al1 compared the incidence of prior cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and the risk of restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in 92 consecutive patients. A total of 65% of these patients were positive for IgG CMV antibodies. At 6 months, angiographic restenosis was similar in CMV-positive and ...
متن کاملRestenosis after a first percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty.
The incidence of restenosis after a first successful percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of a native renal artery and the clinical and angiographic variables that may influence its occurrence were studied in 104 hypertensive patients. Angiograms obtained immediately before and after angioplasty and, in 92 patients, 8.8 +/- 6.0 months after angioplasty were interpreted separately by two observ...
متن کاملTreatment of restenosis of coarctation by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty.
Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) was used successfully to treat coarctation restenosis in seven patients. The patients were 10 months to 17 years old at the time of the angioplasty, and the initial coarctation repair had been performed 10 months to 16 1/2 years previously. PTA reduced the systolic pressure gradient across the coarctation from a mean of 58 mm Hg before the procedure t...
متن کاملCardiac abscess following percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.
We report the first case of myocardial abscess directly related to percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTCA). Infectious complications of PTCA are very rare and limited to a few cases of groin infection and septic endarteritis most often after repeated procedures. In our patient, a problematic and repeated procedure probably led to a direct colonization and subsequent infection of an intimal...
