A 55 years old diabetic male patient who had 12 stents in his heart underwent a successful beating heart bypass surgery under Dr. Prateek Bhatnagar, Director Cardiac Surgery. He received these 12 stents on 5 different occasions at 5 different hospitals of the twin cities. This provides excellent long term benefits and survival.
He came to our hospital 6 months later and presented with gastrointestinal bleeding. Imaging revealed the presence of an aortic abscess around the stent graft involving the esophagus and mediastinum. One patient developed recurrent fever 6 years after TEVAR and underwent multiple courses of antibiotic therapy with a poor response.
Introduction:Medical therapy and endovascular therapy for intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) have evolved over the past two decades with improved medical therapy benchmarks, and improved techniques and patient selection for stenting. There were significantly higher incidences in uncontrolled hypertension (28.2%
As a result, healthcare faces rising expenses from frequent emergency room visits, lengthy hospital stays, costly procedures like stent placements and bypass surgeries, as well as the long-term management of chronic conditions like heart failure (HF). These costs represent a massive portion of total health expenditures.

Our Interventional Cardiology Fellowship Program offers a unique opportunity for fellows to immerse themselves in high-volume centers and experience complex procedures such as angioplasties, stent placements, and Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) interventions.
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).
At two years, people who underwent preventive PCI were 89% less likely to experience the composite primary endpoint of cardiac death, heart attack in the target vessel, revascularization due to ischemia in the target vessel or hospitalization for unstable or progressive chest pain compared with people who received medications alone.
Background:Persistent hypotension after carotid artery stenting (CAS) can lead to adverse outcomes, prolong length of stay (LOS), and increase hospital costs. A relation between decline of norepinephrine after stenting and persistent hypotension supports the role of catecholamine in BP control.
