Around 10% of Deaths from Coronary Stenting, Balloon Angioplasty are Preventable

DAIC

While PCI, which includes both angioplasty and stenting, is one of the most common operations in the world, it does carry a small (about 1-2%) but significant risk of death. in total, angioplasty and stenting was deemed to be of low value and potentially avoidable nearly one third of the time.

Drug-Coated Balloon Angioplasty With Rescue Stenting Versus Intended Stenting for the Treatment of Patients With de Novo Coronary Artery Lesions

American College of Cardiology

The goal of the REC-CAGEFREE I trial was to assess the safety and efficacy of a paclitaxel-coated balloon (DCB) compared to drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation among patients with coronary in-stent restenosis.

REC-CAGEFREE I: DCB Angioplasty With Rescue Stenting vs. Intended DES in Patients With de novo Noncomplex Coronary Artery Lesions

American College of Cardiology

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 (..)

AI model predicts death, complications for patients undergoing angioplasty, stents

Medical Xpress - Cardiology

By inflating a balloon and potentially placing a stent, they can help blood flow more freely from the heart. When a person has one or more blocked arteries, providers may choose to conduct a minimally invasive procedure known as percutaneous coronary intervention, or PCI.

Trial finds drug-coated balloon angioplasty less effective than second generation drug-eluting stents

Medical Xpress - Cardiology

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).

Abstract WMP88: Intraarterial Tirofiban Through Deployed Stent-Retriever Bailout: A Potential Alternative to Angioplasty and Stenting

Stroke Journal

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. The stent-retriever was re-sheathed into the microcatheter before retrieval. Further prospective data is warranted.

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

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

IntroductionVertebral artery stenting represents a viable option in treating symptomatic vertebral artery atherosclerotic stenosis. We included articles reporting patients > 18 years old with symptomatic extracranial vertebral artery stenoses due to atherosclerosis treated with stenting (with or without angioplasty).
