One-Year BIONETIC-I Study Results Show Safety and Effectiveness of Iliac Artery Treatment With BIOTRONIK’s Dynetic-35 Cobalt Chromium Balloon-Expandable Stent System

DAIC

The prospective, international, multicenter single-arm observational study evaluated the treatment of de novo, restenotic or occluded iliac lesions in 160 patients with Rutherford Class 2-6 peripheral artery disease using the Dynetic-35 cobalt chromium balloon-expandable stent system. stenosis in the target lesion. At baseline, 12.5%

An undergraduate who is an EKG tech sees something. The computer calls it completely normal. How about the physicians?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

This EKG is diagnostic of transmural ischemia of the inferior wall. If it is angina, lowering the BP with IV Nitroglycerine may completely alleviate the pain and the (unseen) ECG ischemia. Or is it a very tight stenosis that does not allow enough flow to perfuse myocardium that has a high oxygen demand from severely elevated BP?

Abstract 48: Early Carotid Endarterectomy and Carotid Artery Stent Placement in Symptomatic Patients With Internal Carotid Artery Stenosis

Stroke Journal

Objective:To compare the 1-month stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), and/or death rates among symptomatic patients undergoing either CAS or CEA according to the timing of the procedure in Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy versus Stenting Trial (CREST).Methods:We

Abstract 225: Rescue Stenting for Posterior Circulation Strokes

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Rescue treatment with stenting, balloon angioplasty, and/or intraarterial thrombolysis or antiplatelets are often required to treat the underlying stenosis. 4 Recent literature has reported clinical benefits associated with rescue stenting in the setting of ICAD‐related MT‐refractory strokes.5

Fractional flow reserve for guiding coronary intervention and functional SYNTAX score

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Coronary angiography gives a visual impression about the severity of the stenosis. But it need not imply the actual functional significance of the stenosis in terms of flow physiology. indicates inducible ischemia while an FFR above 0.80 excludes ischemia in 90% of cases. Normal FFR is 1.0 and an FFR below 0.75

Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) for Coronary Intervention

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

IVUS Measurements Measurements include the measurement of lumen, plaque, calcium, remodeling, stent length and volumetric measurements. In the geometry, the size of the plaque, its relationship to luminal stenosis, arterial remodeling and eccentricity can be evaluated. IVUS can also delineate intramural hematoma and dissection.
