Case Report: Kommerell's diverticulum and left aberrant subclavian artery stenosis hybrid treatment with branched aortic stent-graft

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

In this case, we present a symptomatic patient with a Kommerell's diverticulum and a left aberrant subclavian artery complicated by proximal stenosis and poststenotic aneurysm.

HonorHealth Research Institute First in Southwest to Implant New Stroke Prevention Stent

DAIC

The Neuroguard Integrated Embolic Protection (IEP) system is an experimental treatment for carotid artery stenosis, also known as carotid artery disease, a condition in which fatty-waxy deposits known as plaque builds up and blocks the normal flow of blood in the large arteries on either side of the neck. Designed by Raleigh, N.C.-based

Absorbable metal stents for vascular use in pediatric cardiology: progress and outlook

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

The past five years have yielded impressive advancements in fully absorbable metal stent technology. The desired ultimate ability for such devices to treat a vascular stenosis without long-term device-related complications or impeding future treatment continues to evoke excitement in clinicians and engineers alike.

Abstract TP174: Balloon Expandable Stents versus Self-Expanding Stents for Treatment of Intracranial Arterial Stenosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Stroke Journal

Background:There is limited data regarding the comparison of balloon-expanding stents (BES) and self-expanding stents (SES) for the treatment of intracranial arterial stenosis.Methods:We conducted a systematic review to identify studies that compared SES and BES in patients with symptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis.

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.

Optimal Minimal Stent Area and Impact of Stent Underexpansion in Left Main Up-Front 2-Stent Strategy

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

BACKGROUND:We previously reported the use of minimal stent area to predict angiographic in-stent restenosis after drug-eluting stent implantation for unprotected left main (LM) disease. mm2for distal LM (area under the curve, 0.57;P=0.15), P=0.15), 8.3 mm2for LAD ostium (area under the curve, 0.62;P=0.02), P=0.02), and 5.7

Abstract 4145821: Serial Vascular Responses of Balloon-expandable Stent with Biodegradable Film-type Graft in a Rabbit Iliac Artery Dissection Model (BioGard Study)

Circulation

In this hyperacute emergent clinical situation, covered stents have been considered as a primary measure to prevent further serious arterial events. A fabric-based covered graft stents yield poor clinical outcomes. Both CT and angiography revealed no instances of thrombotic occlusion or in-stent restenosis (% diameter stenosis: 5.7
