Immediate and late results of coronary angioplasty in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction.

Federica Marsico, Emanuela Morenghi, Dennis Zavalloni Parenti, Francesco Ferro Milone et autres

BACKGROUND: Severe coronary artery disease in patients with a markedly depressed left ventricular function is associated with a poor prognosis. Even though coronary angioplasty (PTCA) has been offered as an alternative to bypass surgery, the role of PTCA in the treatment of …

Iatrogenic aortic dissection during coronary intervention.

Luigi Maiello, U La Marchesina, Patrizia Presbitero, Francesco Fulvio Faletra

Iatrogenic acute dissection of the ascending aorta following coronary angiography and percutaneous intervention is rare. Localized aortic dissections have been treated by sealing the entry with a coronary stent. Extensive dissections may require a surgical intervention. We describe a coronary dissection with …

Intracoronary beta-radiation for the treatment of patients at very high risk for recurrence of in-stent restenosis: a single center experience.

Dennis Zavalloni Parenti, Federica Marsico, Giovanni Tosi, Gianpiero Catalano et autres

BACKGROUND: Intracoronary brachytherapy has significantly reduced the recurrence of in-stent restenosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of intracoronary beta-radiation in patients at very high risk for recurrence of in-stent restenosis. METHODS: We analyzed 42 …

"Hybrid" percutaneous and surgical coronary revascularization: selection criteria from a single-center experience.

Patrizia Presbitero, Francesco Nicolini, Luigi Maiello, Giorgio Franciosi et autres

BACKGROUND: The association of minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) to percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) of large arteries with focal lesions can be an alternative therapeutic method for patients with multivessel coronary artery disease. We reviewed our experience regarding 42 …

Percutaneous transluminal coronary revascularization in women: higher risk of dissection and need for stenting.

Addolorata Carcagnì, M Camellini, Luigi Maiello, M Bocciarelli et autres

BACKGROUND: Even though success rates of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) are influenced by gender, women are at higher risk for adverse procedural events. Plaque dissection has been demonstrated to cause more adverse cardiac events during PTCA in the female gender than …

[Percutaneous coronary angioplasty in the elderly: a report of 2 cases in patients over 90].

Addolorata Carcagnì, Patrizia Presbitero, Luigi Maiello, U Piccone

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty is a validated method for coronary revascularization over coronary surgery in elderly patients. We describe two cases in patients in their nineties. Case n. 1: a 95-year-old patient with post-infarction angina that was not controlled well by medical …
