Revolution Vibe CT System Now Available from GE Healthcare

DAIC

For CCTA to be truly effective, the CT system must be designed to address the most difficult cardiac exams, including irregularities in heart rhythms, patients with limited cooperation, and those with calcification, stents or bypasses. viii, ix, x, xi, xii, xiii, xiv, xv GE HealthCaredesigned Revolution Vibe to address these challenges.

Socioeconomic status as a predictor of post-operative mortality and outcomes in carotid artery stenting vs. carotid endarterectomy

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Literature has demonstrated that carotid artery stenting (CAS) poses greater risk of postoperative complications, particularly stroke, than carotid endarterectomy (CEA). Methods The National Inpatient Sample (NIS) was queried for patients undergoing CAS and CEA from 2010 to 2015.

Contemporary Trends in Utilization of Rescue Intracranial Stenting During Mechanical Thrombectomy in Patients With Stroke in the United States

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

BACKGROUNDRescue intracranial stenting (RICS) is increasingly recognized as a potentially effective rescue strategy following failed mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for large vessel occlusion due to intracranial atherosclerosis, but populationlevel data on contemporary patterns of RICS utilization in MT are lacking. in 2010 to 6.5%

Asia’s first “Live” liver donor gets successful high risk beating heart bypass surgery

Dr. Prateek Bhatnagar

He next underwent stenting in his coronary arteries in 2000, 2010 and 2012 at Pune. A total of 6 stents were placed. Coronary angiography showed multiple blocks in the stents, needing an urgent bypass surgery. He himself developed heart disease a couple of years later. He recently developed unstable angina.

Abstract TMP64: Time-Trends and Determinants of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy Prescription After Acute Moderate-to-Severe Non-Cardioembolic Ischemic Stroke

Stroke Journal

Methods:Within 168 FSR-participating hospitals, between January 2010 and September 2022, we analyzed NCIS patients with NIHSS score >3, without other indication(s) for DAPT (e.g., carotid stenting) or systemic anticoagulation, hemorrhagic complications, and whom received at least one antiplatelet agent upon discharge.

Fractional flow reserve for guiding coronary intervention and functional SYNTAX score

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

If the FFR normalizes after stenting, the restenosis rates at six months is less than 5%. Since the FFR wire can be used for guiding balloon catheters and stents, it is easy to make post procedure measurements without any additional effort. Routine FFR measurement probably lead to more judicious use of stents and improved outcomes.
