The study, called IVUS-DCB, is the first randomized controlled trial to demonstrate the clinical benefits of using IVUS in angioplasty procedures for peripheralarterydisease (PAD), a condition in which plaque builds up in arteries in the legs. of patients who received IVUS and 70.1%
(Photo: Business Wire milla1cf Thu, 01/18/2024 - 14:05 January 18, 2024 — Summa Therapeutics, LLC announced that the first-in-man injectable angioplasty procedures for patients with below-knee peripheralarterialdisease (PAD) were performed successfully using its Finesse Injectable balloon catheter platform.
However, when these arteries become narrowed or blocked conditions like PeripheralArteryDisease (PAD) can emerge, posing a threat to our overall health. Understanding PeripheralArteryDiseasePeripheralarterydisease or PAD is a condition in which plaque builds up in the arteries that lead to the legs and feet.
BackgroundPeripheral arterydisease (PAD) affects millions globally, causing significant morbidity. Traditional treatments like plain old balloon angioplasty (POBA) have limited success due to high restenosis rates.
(MedPage Today) -- For patients with peripheralarterydisease (PAD) and chronic limb-threatening ischemia, drug-eluting stents and drug-coated balloons did not improve amputation-free survival compared with balloon angioplasty alone in the BASIL.
among 6 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) (172 patients), comparing favorably to published meta-analysis rates for uncoated balloon angioplasty (47.4% in 11 RCTs) were also similar or better than meta-analysis rates for balloon angioplasty or DCB, with variations based on study design and artery level.3-6 References 1.
"The roundtable provided a unique opportunity to identify knowledge gaps and discuss how IVUS can enhance our understanding and treatment of peripheralarterial and deep venous pathology." They also emphasized the need for further research and evidence to support the integration of IVUS into routine clinical practice.
Inclusion criteria included adults over 20 years old, consent to participate, and a requirement for angioplasty. Blood samples were processed to isolate leukocytes, and DNA was extracted using the DNeasy blood kit. Bisulfite pyrosequencing was performed to quantify CpG site-specific DNA methylation at the VTRNA2-1 promoter locus.
Most have gotten used to egregiously bad coverage of current events that fills the pages of today’s New York Times, but even by their now very low standards a recent telling of a story about peripheralarterydisease was very bad. Dr. Dormu also performed a mechanical atherectomy of all three tibial vessels.
