Coronary bifurcation lesions(CBLs)account for 15%-20%of all percutaneous coronary interventions.The complex nature of these lesions is responsible for poorer procedural,early and late outcomes.This complex lesion subs...
A challenging technical scenario frequently encountered in a percutaneous coronary intervention of a coronary bifurcation lesion(CBL)is stent implantation of only the stenosed segment without compromising the other tw...
BACKGROUND Myocardial bridging(MB)is increasingly recognized to stimulate atherogenesis,which may contribute to an acute coronary syndrome.Stenting the coronary segment with MB has been recognized to have an increased...
BACKGROUND Aortic arch stenting is continuously emerging as a safe and effective option to alleviate aortic arch stenosis and arterial hypertension.CASE SUMMARY We present a 15-year-old girl with aortic arch hypoplasi...
Complex bifurcations have been suggested to be better approached by a planned double stent technique; however, recent randomized trials have shown better outcomes of provisional compared to planned twostent strategy, ...
Ostial lesions present unique challenges for percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI). These lesions are often more calcified,fibrotic,rigid,and more prone to elastic recoil. Intervention on these lesions is associated...
A 65-year-old man developed chest pain under cardiogenic shock. Coronary angiography revealed severe stenosis from the ostium of the left main coronary artery(LMCA) to the left anterior descending artery(LAD). Intrava...
Resistant hypertension(RHTN) is a commonly encountered clinical problem and its management remains a challenging task for healthcare providers. The prevalence of true RHTN has been difficult to assess due to pseudores...
Acute total or subtotal occlusion of left main coronary artery (LMCA) is a catastrophic and mostly fatal event. Patients may present with cardiogenic shock and die whenever this event occurs. Survival is strongly depe...
