Other coronary interventions

The RADIAL study sought to explore the impact of prolonged occlusion flow-mediated dilatation (PO-FMD) in improving radial artery cannulation success.

The aim of this study was to compare the rate of proximal RAO with Doppler ultrasound (DUS) between distal and conventional radial access 24 h after a transradial coronary procedure.

It is challenging to treat bending calcified coronary lesions with CA. Using a guide extension catheter-supported back-up force to advance a bulky atherectomy device and a guidewire bias to the calcified lesion enabled imaging observation and sufficient dilation using a scoring balloon, which led to stent-less...

An elective right coronary artery PCI was scheduled in an 83-year-old gentleman. Due to the presence of severely diffuse and calcified disease, rotational atherectomy was decided, but the burr got entrapped in the severely calcified and tortuous proximal segment of the artery...

An 81-year-old male underwent PCI of an extensively calcified LAD coronary artery. Lesion preparation was done using cutting and scoring balloons, followed by drug-eluting stent implantation. Despite serial dilations, including the use of a very High-Pressure NC balloon, stent expansion could not be achieved...
