Comparison between the 0- and 30-s balloon dilation time in percutaneous transluminal angioplasty for restenosed arteriovenous fistula among hemodialysis patients: a multicenter, prospective, randomized trial (CARP study)
ConclusionThe presenting data suggest that 30-s dilation potentially results in a better 3-month patency rate than 0-s dilation in HD patients with restenosis after PTA. (Source: Clinical and Experimental Nephrology)

Procedural characteristics and cardiovascular outcomes in patients undergoing drug-coated balloon angioplasty for de novo lesions in large coronary arteries: an observational study
AbstractLimited data exist regarding drug-coated balloon (DCB) treatment in de novo large coronary arteries. We sought to demonstrate procedural characteristics, residual stenosis, and clinical outcomes following DCB angioplasty for de novo lesions in large versus small coronary arteries. The study included 184 consecutive patients with 223 de novo coronary lesions undergoing paclitaxel DCB angioplasty between January 2019 and August 2020, who were divided according to whether the DCB diameter was ≥ 3.0 mm (large group,n = 58) or < 3.0 mm (small group,n = 125). The large group had a higher proporti...

Coronary Aneurysm after Excimer Laser Catheter Ablation and Plain Balloon Angioplasty for Chronic Total Occlusion in a Patient with Kawasaki Disease
Intern Med. 2024 Feb 26. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.3210-23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 37-year-old man with a history of Kawasaki disease presented with total occlusion of the right coronary artery. The patient underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with excimer laser coronary angioplasty (ELCA) and plain balloon angioplasty (POBA). Three months after PCI, a coronary aneurysm with restenosis was detected at the PCI site, and PCI was performed again using a small balloon. The aneurysm healed three months after the second PCI procedure. This is the first report describing the long-term outcome after an a...

Bidirectional approach of vascular access for balloon angioplasty in permcath-associated superior vena cava syndrome presenting with transudative chylothorax
Chylothorax is characterized by lymphatic fluid accumulation in the pleural cavity caused by thoracic duct and lymphatic drainage disruption. Most cases of chylothorax are lymphocyte-predominant exudative pleural effusions with high protein, low lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and elevated triglyceride levels [1]. Prompt evaluations for underlying causes are key to resolve chylothorax and avoid recurrence. Herein, we report the case of a 4-year-6-month-old girl who had been receiving regular hemodialysis via a left subclavian vein permcath with the tip in the right atrium since 6 months old.

Combined rotational excimer lASER coronary atherectomy (RASER) in non-crossable, non-dilatable coronary artery disease: Observations from a single center
CONCLUSIONS: In our retrospective, single-center study, patients with CAD who were deemed appropriate for RASER PCI had a high peri-procedural mortality rate. In this context, adjunctive RASER therapy provides acceptable safety and efficacy as a bailout strategy, with at least 3 out of 5 patients achieving satisfactory procedural and angiographic results. Randomized controlled trials are needed to comprehensively compare the clinical outcomes of high-risk RASER PCI vs conservative medical therapy.PMID:38377536 | DOI:10.25270/jic/23.00267 (Source: The Journal of Invasive Cardiology)
