Stent‐in‐Stent Intervention for Pulmonary Vein in Stent Restenosis: A Long‐Term Follow‐Up Case Report

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

ABSTRACT Introduction Pulmonary vein (PV) restenosis develops with reported incidence rates of up to 50%. Balloon angioplasty seems to be the widely preferred treatment of choice. The stenosis was treated with a stent. The stenosis was treated with a stent. He has since remained asymptomatic over 3 years of follow-up.

Patient-specific 3D in vitro modeling and fluid dynamic analysis of primary pulmonary vein stenosis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

IntroductionPrimary pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is a rare congenital heart disease that proves to be a clinical challenge due to the rapidly progressive disease course and high rates of treatment complications. These 3D reconstructions were 3D printed using a clear resin ink and used in a benchtop experimental setup.

Multimodality 3D image fusion with live fluoroscopy reduces radiation dose during catheterization of congenital heart defects

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

The combined and matched subgroups were pulmonary artery stenting (Stent PUL ), aorta angioplasty (Plasty AO ), pulmonary artery angioplasty (Plasty PUL ), or a combination of the latter two (Plasty). Three senior interventionists evaluated the relevance of MMIF 2D−3D (5-point Likert scale).

How does Acute Total Left Main Coronary occlusion present on the ECG?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Here is another proven left main occlusion in a young woman who presented with sudden pulmonary edema, had this ECG recorded, then arrested and was resuscitated after 30 minutes of CPR: This has sinus tachycardia with RBBB and LAFB, and STE in V2-V6 as well as I, aVL This pattern could just as easily be seen in LAD occlusion.

Once the patient reaches the hospital, the doctors will attempt to remove the clot using either a potent clot buster medicine [thrombolytic medicines] or a surgery known as primary angioplasty. Although both techniques have advantages and limitations, primary angioplasty is the chosen therapy in most cases.
