tim.hodson Fri, 11/08/2024 - 10:10 Medtronic recently announced results from two studies evaluating the utility of atherectomy for peripheral endovascular interventions. Results from both analyses were released at the Vascular InterVentional Advances (VIVA) 2024 conference in Las Vegas. DA+DCB versus 5.9% versus 21.1%, P =0.014).
milla1cf Wed, 03/13/2024 - 16:52 March 13, 2024 — In the largest randomized clinical trial and first of its kind to date in the United States, a team led by investigators at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) assessed the efficacy and safety of using a drug-coated balloon in patients undergoing coronary angioplasty.
milla1cf Fri, 03/01/2024 - 08:50 March 1, 2024 — Boston Scientific Corporation today announced it has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) approval for the AGENT Drug-Coated Balloon (DCB), which is indicated to treat coronary in-stent restenosis (ISR) in patients with coronary artery disease. vs. 28.7%; P=0.006).
A strategy of drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty with rescue stenting did not achieve noninferiority compared with intended drug-eluting stent (DES) deployment for patients with de novo, noncomplex coronary artery lesions, according to finding from the REC-CAGEFREE I trial presented at ESC Congress 2024 in London and simultaneously published in (..)
The study, called IVUS-DCB, is the first randomized controlled trial to demonstrate the clinical benefits of using IVUS in angioplasty procedures for peripheral artery disease (PAD), a condition in which plaque builds up in arteries in the legs. Half were randomly assigned to receive IVUS plus angiography and half received angiography alone.
Novel drug-coated balloons (DCB) did not outshine standard treatment with second generation drug-eluting stents (DES) as they were expected to, in a surprise finding of the first randomized trial to compare clinical outcomes in previously untreated patients with non-complex disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWMP88-AWMP88, February 1, 2024. Background:In stroke patients undergoing EVT, angioplasty and stenting (A&S) has been described as a bailout technique when thrombectomy fails or intracranial stenosis is suspected. Further prospective data is warranted.

In cases of stent-retriever thrombectomy failure, rescue stentangioplasty might be the sole option for achieving permanent recanalization. 4.14, p=0.9502), but it was associated with a functional clinical outcome at 90 days (OR 3.39, 95% CI 1.11-10.43,
During the roundtable, participants highlighted the potential of IVUS in guiding revascularization procedures, such as angioplasty and stenting, to optimize outcomes for patients. They also emphasized the need for further research and evidence to support the integration of IVUS into routine clinical practice.

Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATMP94-ATMP94, February 1, 2024. Introduction:Current evidence suggests that acute carotid artery stenting (CAS) for cervical lesions is associated with better functional outcomes in patients with acute stroke with tandem lesions (TLs) treated with endovascular treatment (EVT).

Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A158-A158, February 1, 2024. The patients were divided into two groups: those who received RS (including balloon angioplasty alone, intracranial stenting with or without balloon angioplasty) and those who only received MM.

We evaluated the impact of IS+ on different efficacy outcome variables: final complete recanalization (eTICI2c-3), total number of passes, procedural duration, and use of bailout technique (angioplasty, stenting, GP2b2a infusion)Results:Of the 200 evaluated patients, 52 (26%) IS+ were found.
