El Camino Health Cardiologist Earns International Award for Achievements in Advancing Cardiovascular Field

DAIC

Andreas Grüntzig was a German cardiologist best known for being the first to develop successful balloon angioplasty for expanding lumens of narrowed arteries. Improving patient care and outcomes is what drives my commitment to helping find new solutions in the field.

Abstract 044: Single?Step Intracranial Angioplasty followed by Atlas Stent Deployment Through Mini Trek Rx Balloon

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Santa Clara, CA, USA) semi compliant balloon adapted from cardiovascular literature which showed a pre‐dilation angioplasty capability in coronary stenotic lesions.MethodsWe performed a retrospective review of prospectively maintained mechanical thrombectomy (MT) databases of 2 comprehensive stroke centers between November 2020, and May 2023.

Abstract 132: Angioplasty and Stenting for Symptomatic Vertebral Artery Atherosclerotic Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta?Analysis

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

We included articles reporting patients > 18 years old with symptomatic extracranial vertebral artery stenoses due to atherosclerosis treated with stenting (with or without angioplasty). Patients’ characteristics, procedural details, complications, and outcomes were extracted. and 1.7%, respectively.

Abstract WP179: Clinical Outcomes in Acute Stroke in Patients Undergoing Emergency Intracranial Stenting Receiving IV Thrombolysis

Stroke Journal

In cases of stent-retriever thrombectomy failure, rescue stent angioplasty might be the sole option for achieving permanent recanalization. We defined two binary outcomes: (1) functional clinical outcome (modified Rankin Scale 0-2) and (2) early symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH). 10.43, p=0.0325).Conclusions:The

Abstract 215: A Sweet Indicator: HbA1C and Thrombectomy Outcomes in Hispanics

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Diabetes is a risk factor for acute ischemic stroke and also a poor predictor of outcome for many interventional surgeries. Patients with poorly controlled diabetes also were more likely to require angioplasty (31.3% or greater. vs. 20.5%; p = 0.048) and stenting (28.4%

Abstract TMP58: Impact of DWI-ADC Mismatch on Infarct Progression and Endovascular Thrombectomy Outcomes in Acute Stroke

Stroke Journal

Final infarct segmentation included hemorrhagic transformation. We compared demographics, radiological findings, clinical outcomes, and follow-up results between mismatch and no mismatch groups.Results:Among 73 patients, 20 (27.4%) had DWI-ADC mismatch. DWIR% = (DWIR/baseline DWI volume) 100 was calculated. P < 0.0001).

Abstract 010: Technical Approaches for Intracranial Atherosclerotic Disease Large Vessel Occlusion Strokes

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Endovascular intervention was defined as either angioplasty, stenting, or a combination of both. Safety outcomes were comparable with similar rates of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH).ConclusionWhile Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage was low in medically treated patients.
