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.

Resorbable stent vs. angioplasty safety outcomes: 5 study notes

Becker's Hospital Review - Cardiology

A drug-eluting resorbable stent was found to be just as effective in treating infrapopliteal artery disease in patients at risk of limb amputation, according to a study published Oct. 25 in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Comparison of Noncompliant Balloon With Drug-Coating Balloon Angioplasties for Side Branch After Provisional Stenting for Patients With True Coronary Bifurcation Lesions

American College of Cardiology

The goal of the DCB-BIF trial was to assess the efficacy of drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty of residual side branch stenosis in coronary bifurcation lesions treated with a provisional stenting strategy.

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.

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 (..)

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.
