7. Angioplasty for Calcified Lesions

چکیده
1. Evaluation of calcified lesions − Angiography and IVUS Evaluating the size and depth of calcified lesions prior to intervention is crucial. In our experience, angiography and IVUS are give different results. For example, Colombo et al have evaluated target lesion calcification using both angiography and IVUS, and found that angiography indicated calcification in 15% of the total number of lesions studied, while IVUS indicated calcification in 85% . IVUS is also superior to angiography for measuring depth.

The use of rotational atherectomy and drug-eluting stents in the treatment of heavily calcified coronary lesions.
INTRODUCTION The treatment of calcified coronary artery lesions is a challenge for percutaneous angioplasty. Rotational atherectomy is an established technique for the effective modification of these lesions prior to conventional angioplasty and stent implantation. Drug-eluting stents (DES) have shown encouraging results in complex lesions and high-risk patients. METHODS This retrospective st...
متن کاملLong-term results of transradial rotational atherectomy for heavily calcified coronary artery lesions
OBJECTIVE Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for the heavily calcified coronary lesions remains a challenge, and the periprocedural complication rates of the transfemoral approach are high. This study was conducted to investigate the feasibility and long-term results of the transradial approach for rotational atherectomy (RA) prior to stent implantation via the transradial approach in pat...
متن کاملInstent restenosis after carotid stenting: treatment using an off-label cardiac scoring balloon.
BACKGROUND Treatment of instent restenosis after carotid artery stenting because of circumferential or calcified lesions can be difficult and refractory to conventional balloon angioplasty. We describe the off-label use of a cardiac scoring balloon that was used for lesions refractory to angioplasty with other balloons. CASE DESCRIPTIONS Two patients with a history of carotid artery stenting ...
متن کاملAggressive plaque modification with rotational atherectomy and cutting balloon for optimal stent expansion in calcified lesions
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the factors affecting optimal stent expansion in calcified lesions treated by aggressive plaque modification with rotational atherectomy (RA) and a cutting balloon (CB). METHODS From January 2014 to May 2015, 92 patients with moderate to severe coronary calcified lesions underwent rotational atherectomy and intravascular ultrasound imaging at Chinese PLA General Hospital...
متن کاملIndependent predictors of restenosis after percutaneous coronary revascularization in haemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND Percutaneous balloon angioplasty has become a well-established and routine procedure for coronary revascularization of haemodialysis patients with coronary artery disease. However, the incidence of restenosis after balloon angioplasty is significantly higher in haemodialysis patients than in the general population. We performed a retrospective study comparing balloon angioplasty with...
