Presentation
The present is the first reported case of complex regional pain syndrome presenting as remote postprocedural complication of transfemoral coronary balloon angioplasty. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Asymptomatic
To assess the clinical implications of asymptomatic coronary restenosis, we analyzed clinical and angiographic characteristics of 277 consecutive patients with restenosis, 133 (48%) of whom were asymptomatic (group I) and 144 (52%) symptomatic (group [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Noncompliance
Before stenting, each lesion was predilated with a 2.5-mm or noncompliant 2.75-mm balloon, 20 mm in length. Balloon size was chosen to reach a balloon on artery ratio close to 1. Balloon Angioplasty Similar balloons were used for PTCA. [circ.ahajournals.org]
Standard semi- and or noncompliant balloons, and if necessary, more specialised cutting or scoring balloons are used to achieve an adequate angiographic result. [icrjournal.com]

Localized Pain
Abstract Presently described is the case of a 55-year-old man who developed localized pain, allodynia, hyperpathia, and swelling over the right ankle joint following coronary balloon angioplasty, which had been performed via right femoral arterial access [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pulsus Alternans
Hemodynamic pulsus alternans of the aortic pressure tracing was not observed during electrical alternans. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Diplopia
All patients improved, with resolution of diplopia in primary position after a mean period of 82 days. The occurrence of INO in the postcardiac catheterization setting is not uncommon, and it appears to be related to dorsal pontine ischemia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Suggestibility
These observations suggest that severe vascular injury by balloon angioplasty may control coronary vasomotion in the chronic stage. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Electrical Alternans
Hemodynamic pulsus alternans of the aortic pressure tracing was not observed during electrical alternans. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
On the basis of these encouraging results, a multicenter, randomized trial with operators and patients blinded to treatment assignment is planned. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Gruentzig began a revolution in the treatment of coronary artery disease. By the 1970's, coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) had become an accepted treatment method for coronary artery disease. [med.emory.edu]
The major difference between DCB and other treatment options is that the DCB option does not require even a temporary implant. [icrjournal.com]
Prognosis
For patients with ACS undergoing percutaneous balloon angioplasty without coronary stenting in the era of platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa blockade, the long-term prognosis is less clear. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
After an invasive operation, drug therapy is continued to improve the prognosis. Often coronary angiography is immediately followed by balloon angioplasty. [hus.fi]
When successful, percutaneous coronary intervention can relieve chest pain of angina, improve the prognosis of individuals with unstable angina, and minimize or stop a heart attack without having the patient undergo open heart coronary artery bypass graft [bradentonheartcenter.com]
Outlook (Prognosis) For most people, angioplasty greatly improves blood flow through the coronary artery and the heart. It may help you avoid the need for coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). [mountsinai.org]
Etiology
In lesions needing adjunct balloon dilatation, lesion stretch was 73 /- 27%, and elastic recoil was 22 /- 18%, with no variation by etiology of the initial balloon failure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

BACKGROUND: Effective pharmacological prevention of restenosis using the systemic administration of various drugs that were effective for the prevention of restenosis in experimental studies has not been reported. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
