Catheter-Based Treatment of Coronary Artery Disease

Abstract: Abstract-September 2007 marked the 30-year anniversary of the first human percutaneous coronary intervention, an index event that changed the course of modern-day cardiovascular care. Before that first procedure, adult invasive cardiology focused on diagnostic angiography as well as hemodynamic assessment of structural heart disease. Since that initial procedure, percutaneous coronary intervention has become the most frequently performed coronary revascularization procedure worldwide. Several factors have been… Show more

“…Moreover, reports of stent-thrombosis with DES use has led to concerns of use and timing of dual antiplatelet therapy (14) and the need to focus on cause-specific, rather than overall, mortality (15). Thus, in spite of the marked overall improvement in the field, certain high-risk subsets continue to pose major challenges and warrant closer attention (16). …”

“…Axial and oblique MPR images must be used for reading scans as the basic tools for detection and quantification of coronary artery stenosis, b Axial images showing that the distal LAD is occluded and not opacified with contrast just after the origin of the D2 branch. The contrast opacified D2 branch in its normal course, lateral to the interventricular groove, should not be mistaken for the normal LAD, c CAG confirms CTO of distal LAD (arrows) after origin of the D2 branch, and successful PCI was performed, although occlusion site is associated with a side branch Int J Cardiovasc Imaging (2009) 25: 43-54 47 complexity, technical difficulty, long procedure times, and excessive radiation exposure [29]. Once the wire crosses the CTO a low-profile balloon is usually used to follow.…”

“…[3][4][5][6] First-generation drugeluting stents (DES) succeeded in further reducing the rate of early TLR, 7,8 but were associated with continued occurrence of late TLR and very late stent thrombosis (ST), which might have been attenuated with newer-generation DES using biocompatible or biodegradable polymer. [9][10][11] Currently, a fully bioresorbable drug-eluting vascular scaffold (BVS) is under clinical evaluation with expectations for better healing responses of the vessel wall and reduction of late adverse events related to the treatment site by eliminating permanent metallic implants.…”
