Calling all Hot Air Balloon enthusiasts! Save the date for the annual Balloons and Tunes Roundup, the third weekend in February. This year we are expecting 40+ Hot Air Balloon Pilots and bands. We are ...

In the simple strategy, the main vessel was stented, followed by optional kissing-balloon dilatation/T-stent placement. In the complex strategy, both vessels were systematically stented ('culotte ...

with conventional balloon angioplasty for in-stent restonisis (ISR); use of pressure-controlled intermittent coronary sinus occlusion (PiCSO) in acute myocardial infarction (MI); and potential ...

This configuration makes subsequent VA access very challenging in cases of in-stent or distal vertebrobasilar pathology; it also obstructs the distal subclavian artery. Objective To determine whether ...

In three patients (10%) the retrograde approach was made via the posterior communicating artery. After balloon remodeling, additional stenting was performed in 16 patients (55%). The complication rate ...

Results: Among 859 patients in the RESISTANT registry, 176 underwent intracranial stenting with balloon-mounted stent (BMS) and 683 with self-expandable stent (SES). The Vertebrobasilar location was ...

PCI of these lesions often requires novel devices, such as drug-eluting stents, hydrophilic guidewires ... the next major technical challenge is balloon dilatation of the lesion, which is ...

The routine bail-out method is to implant a covered stent by the chimney technique. The other alternative method is to use a guidewire to first “find” a tiny fissure existing in the misalignment ...

The short-term and long-term outcomes were acceptable, but the efficacy of the Enterprise stent needs to be further evaluated in future studies. The WEAVE/WOVEN trial demonstrated a low rate of ...

In 1997, van Milligan and colleagues [16] reported on 16 symptomatic patients with PSC and dominant extrahepatic bile duct strictures who were treated with stent placement for a median interval of ...
