We evaluated a decision algorithm for percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) based on a no-stent strategy, corresponding to a combination of scoring balloon angioplasty (SCBA) and drug-coated balloon (DCB), as a first line approach. Stents were used only in unstable patients, or in case of mandatory bailout stenting (BO-stent). From April 2019 t...

Plain balloon angioplasty remains the first-line treatment for dialysis access stenosis. This chapter reviews the outcomes of plain balloon angioplasty from cohort studies and comparative studies. Angioplasty outcomes are more favourable in arteriovenous fistulae (AVF) compared to arteriovenous grafts (AVG) with primary patency at 6 months ranging ...

This study aimed to reveal whether a larger postprocedural minimum lumen area (MLA) would reduce restenosis risk after endovascular therapy (EVT) using drug-coated balloons (DCBs) in femoropopliteal (FP) lesions. This retrospective, nonrandomized, single-arm, and multicenter registry analyzed patients with FP lesions undergoing intravascular ultras...

In contrast to traditional femoral artery access, radial artery access for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is associated with reduced mortality and bleeding but has higher crossover rates. Therefore, factors associated with crossover warrant exploration as crossover due to technical ch...

Fluoroscopically guided endovascular carotid artery stenting (CAS) of extracranial carotid stenosis (ECS) is a reasonable alternative to carotid endarterectomy in selected patients. Diagnostic reference levels (DRL) for this common neurointervention have not yet been defined and respective literature data are sparse. We provide detailed dosimetrics...

In patients requiring long-term hemodialysis for chronic kidney disease, an arteriovenous fistula is the preferred mode of hemodialysis access over synthetic arteriovenous graft or hemodialysis catheters. The National Kidney Foundation recommended in their Kidney Dialysis Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQI) Clinical Practice Guidelines that the cre...

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a treatable form of pulmonary hypertension and right heart failure. CTEPH (group 4 pulmonary hypertension) is caused by persistent organized thromboembolic obstruction of the pulmonary arteries from incompletely resolved acute pulmonary embolism. CTEPH also may present without prior VTE histo...

Pulmonary vein occlusion (PVO) is a known complication of radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation. We present a case with delayed presentation leading to chronic total PVO. Computed Tomography (CT) imaging did not predict the presence of residual flow. Despite this, the occlusion was successfully stented using wire escalation techniques ada...

Coronaritis is a rare but serious complication of giant-cell arteritis (GCA), with an estimated prevalence of less than 1%, however difficult to establish, and of early onset. We describe 2 cases of GCA presenting with coronaritis and present a review of the literature on this complication. The first patient presented with stable angina on common t...
