Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) uses sound waves to visualize the inside of arteries. There are two types of IVUS systems - mechanical systems using a rotating internal cable and solid-state systems using externally mounted transducers. Both produce 360-degree images with a resolution of 100-150 μm. IVUS is used to assess plaque, vessel dimensions, stent deployment, and more. It produces cross-sectional images showing the lumen, layers of the artery wall, and plaque composition and size. Measurements include diameters, areas, plaque burden, and indices of eccentricity. IVUS helps identify vulnerable plaque and has diagnostic and interventional applications.

Intravascular ultrasonography (IVUS) provides images of coronary arteries and other blood vessels. It plays a critical role in understanding coronary disease and guiding interventional cardiology procedures. IVUS uses a catheter-mounted ultrasound transducer to create images. It can assess plaque, guide stent placement, detect complications, and characterize lesion morphology. IVUS provides detailed information to evaluate patients and optimize interventional strategies.
This document discusses intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) for assessing coronary artery disease.
IVUS uses sound waves to image vessel walls with good penetration but lower resolution compared to OCT. Virtual histology IVUS can characterize plaque morphology. Studies show IVUS guidance for percutaneous coronary intervention reduces major adverse cardiac events. OCT uses near-infrared light for very high resolution imaging of plaque, thrombus, dissections and stent apposition. It guides lesion preparation and detects post-PCI complications. Both modalities provide detailed vessel and plaque assessment to optimize revascularization.
Left ventricular angiography is used to assess global and regional left ventricular function and anatomy. It involves inserting a catheter into the left ventricle and injecting contrast dye to visualize the ventricle on x-ray imaging. The procedure provides key information on mitral valve function, ventricular shape and wall motion abnormalities, and congenital defects like VSD. LV volumes and ejection fraction are calculated from the images to quantify function. Regional wall motion is graded and correlated to coronary artery territories. Characteristic appearances are seen in conditions like cardiomyopathy, mitral regurgitation, and septal defects. Potential complications include arrhythmias and endocardial injury.
Rotational atherectomy is described in detail including vascular access, wiring, burr selection, technique, complications and their management. Key steps include using the smallest burr possible, short ablation runs under 20 seconds, and avoiding sudden drops in rotational speed to minimize complications. Complications can include slow-flow/no-reflow, dissection, perforation and burr entrapment. Prevention focuses on optimal technique and treatment involves reversing anticoagulation, vasodilators, balloons, stents or surgery depending on the complication.

Coronary artery perforation during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can be classified based on its anatomical location and severity. Proximal or midvessel perforations carry a greater risk of complications while distal perforations often have a benign course. Treatment depends on the perforation type and severity, with supportive measures, prolonged balloon inflation, covered stents, or vessel occlusion techniques used for more severe cases. Emergency surgery may be needed for large perforations not responding to other treatments, though surgical outcomes in emergency settings are often disappointing.
Stent thrombosis is a rare but serious complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with mortality rates between 25-40%. It is classified based on timing (acute, subacute, late, very late) and etiology (primary, secondary). Risk factors include premature discontinuation of dual antiplatelet therapy, smoking, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, acute coronary syndrome, and high platelet reactivity. Strategies to minimize stent thrombosis involve careful patient selection, optimal stent deployment, adherence to potent dual antiplatelet regimens, and treatment involving emergent thrombectomy with escalated antiplatelet therapy.
This document discusses coronary guidewires used in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It begins by outlining the history of angioplasty and guidewire development. It then covers the purpose, components, classifications, and appropriate uses of guidewires. The main components include the core, tip, coils, covers, and coatings. Guidewires are classified based on flexibility, device support, and clinical usage. Complications like vessel perforation, pseudolesions, and entrapment are also discussed. Proper guidewire manipulation and strategies for difficult lesions are outlined to maximize safety and efficacy.

Proper angiographic views are important for evaluating different coronary artery segments.
Percutaneous Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty (PBMV) is a procedure to dilated the mitral valve in the setting of rheumatic mitral valve stenosis. A catheter is inserted into the femoral vein, advanced to the right atrium and across the interatrial septum. Then the mitral valve is crossed with a balloon and it is inflated to relieve the fusion of the mitral valve commissures effectively acting to increase the mitral valve area and reduce the degree of mitral stenosis. Mitral regurgitation is a potential complication and thus PBMV is contraindicated if moderate or severe regurgitation is present. The Wilkins score examines mitral valve morphology and is determined via echocardiography to assess the likelihood of using PBMV based on certain echocardiographic criteria.
This document provides information about percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy (PTMC), a procedure used to treat mitral stenosis. It discusses the stages and severity of mitral stenosis, indications and contraindications for PTMC, assessment of valve morphology, the PTMC procedure technique, instruments used, balloon size selection, post-procedure evaluation, complications, follow-up care, and long-term prognosis. PTMC is performed to improve the opening of a stenosed mitral valve by splitting the fused commissures using a balloon catheter, and is an important therapeutic option for treating symptomatic mitral stenosis.
Foreign body removal during cardiac catheterizationRamachandra Barik
The document discusses techniques for removing foreign bodies from the heart and blood vessels during cardiac catheterization procedures. It outlines the necessary equipment, including biplane fluoroscopy, long sheaths, wires, and various retrieval devices like snares, baskets, and forceps. While the latest tools and techniques allow expert interventional cardiologists to extract most objects, some large implanted devices may be too big to remove percutaneously and may require open heart surgery instead for safety. Consultation with a surgeon should be considered in difficult cases to prioritize patient well-being.
Distal balloon occlusion devices and distal filter devices are the main types of embolic protection devices (EPDs) used during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Distal balloon occlusion devices use a balloon to occlude blood flow distal to the lesion during PCI, while distal filter devices use a nitinol mesh filter to capture debris without interrupting blood flow. Major trials have shown the benefits of EPDs for saphenous vein graft interventions and for STEMI patients undergoing PCI. EPD selection depends on lesion location and vessel characteristics. EPDs are recommended for saphenous vein graft PCI but their routine use is not supported for native coronary artery PCI.
Raja Lahiri provides an overview of coronary angiography. Key points include:
- Coronary angiography is the current gold standard for visualizing the coronary arteries through X-ray imaging with contrast injection.
- The history of coronary angiography began in the 1920s-1940s with early experiments in cerebral and cardiac catheterization.
- Modern techniques involve accessing arteries typically through the femoral or radial arteries to insert a catheter for contrast injection into the coronary arteries under X-ray imaging.
- Multiple angiographic views are needed to visualize different segments of the left and right coronary arteries. Coronary angiography is used to evaluate coronary artery disease, graft patency, and left ventricular function.
This document discusses techniques for coronary angiography including cannulating coronary arteries and grafts, angiographic views, and interpreting angiograms. Key points include different techniques for cannulating the left and right coronary arteries as well as grafts like saphenous veins and internal mammary arteries. Common angiographic views are described for visualizing different coronary segments. The document also covers quantitatively and visually assessing coronary narrowings and diagnosing coronary spasm.
This document discusses various factors that contribute to lesion complexity in coronary arteries, which can impact outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It describes several scoring systems that classify lesions based on characteristics like vessel patency, morphology, length, location, calcification, and thrombus presence. Specific lesion features discussed in detail include ostial and angulated lesions, bifurcations, degenerated saphenous vein grafts, calcification, thrombus, total occlusions, and the coronary collateral circulation. Assessing these complexity factors can help identify risks for procedural complications and recurrent events.

The document also includes images and descriptions of specific catheters and guidewire tips.
The document defines no-reflow as inadequate myocardial perfusion through a coronary circulation segment without mechanical vessel obstruction. No-reflow occurs in 30% of patients after reperfusion for myocardial infarction and is associated with worse outcomes. It results from microvascular obstruction from distal embolization, ischemic injury, and reperfusion injury. Diagnosis involves assessing TIMI flow, myocardial blush grade, and imaging techniques. Prevention focuses on reducing embolization using thrombectomy or filters while treatment involves vasodilators like adenosine, verapamil, and glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors.
This document discusses percutaneous pulmonary valve interventions. It begins by providing background on the history of pulmonary valve interventions, starting with open surgical techniques and moving to percutaneous approaches developed in the 1950s. It then discusses the first successful percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation in 2000. The document provides details on the anatomy of the pulmonary valve, causes of pulmonary valve disease, techniques for percutaneous balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty, indications and contraindications for percutaneous pulmonary valve interventions, and the evolution and indications for transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation.
Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is a technique that evaluates the hemodynamic significance of coronary artery stenoses. It is defined as the ratio of maximal flow achievable in the stenotic coronary artery to the maximal flow achievable if the artery was normal. An FFR value ≤ 0.80 is considered hemodynamically significant. Several clinical trials including DEFER and FAME have found that FFR-guided revascularization reduces major adverse cardiac events compared to angiography-guided procedures alone by helping to identify which intermediate lesions are functionally significant. Guidelines recommend using FFR to guide revascularization decisions, especially for intermediate lesions, multivessel disease, and acute coronary syndromes.

Coronary heart disease is a major cause of mortality worldwide. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), also known as coronary angioplasty, is a non-surgical procedure used to treat blockages within the coronary arteries of the heart. During PCI, a catheter is inserted into an artery and guided to the site of blockage where a balloon is inflated to open the artery. Often a stent is placed to keep the artery open. PCI has become a common revascularization treatment for acute coronary syndromes and stable angina. While generally safe, complications from PCI occur in less than 2% of patients and include adverse reactions, acute myocardial infarction, bleeding, and death in less than 0.08% of patients.

This document discusses endovascular interventions for infrapopliteal peripheral vascular disease. Infrapopliteal disease is rising due to an aging population and increased rates of diabetes and kidney disease. Surgical and early endovascular interventions historically had high failure rates in this region. Endovascular procedures now provide an alternative to bypass surgery for treating critical limb ischemia in the infrapopliteal arteries, with the goal of establishing straight line blood flow to the foot. Success depends on factors like number of vessels opened, inflow status, and addressing more proximal disease first when needed. Complications can include access issues, vessel spasm or perforation, embolism, and contrast nephropathy.
Coronary Ostial stenting techniques:Current statusPawan Ola
Ostial lesions, located within 3 mm of a vessel origin, pose unique challenges for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Precise stent placement is required to avoid geographic miss and ensure optimal coverage of the lesion. Several techniques have been developed to aid accurate stent placement for ostial lesions, including aorto-free floating wire, stent pull-back, and Szabo/anchor wire methods. The use of these targeted approaches can reduce the risk of additional stenting and reintervention compared to conventional PCI for ostial lesions.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

5. MECHANISM OF ANGIOPLASTY
• Rupture of plaque and fibers in the intima and media
• Compression of plaque / thrombus
• Compression of medial layers
• Distribution of plaque / thrombus at inner surface of artery
• Overstretching of artery
6. STEPS OF ANGIOPLASTY
Insure the patient is on Dual Antiplatelets !!
1.Pretreatment angiography with localization of the arterial obstruction
2.Crossing the lesion with a guidewire or catheter with a flexible tip
3.Advancement of the treating catheter or instrument over the guidewire and
confirming patency of runoff arteries
4.Exchange of the diagnostic catheter for the balloon catheter or stent
7. 5.Dilation of the stenosis with the angioplasty balloon, followed by deflation
6.Completion angiography followed by treatment of runoff vessels with
different balloon catheters or stents
7.Exchange of catheter materials and occlusion of the arterial puncture site by
manual compression or a closure device
8.Placement of a compression bandage above the puncture site, followed by
patient monitoring for a minimum of 2 hours
8. TASC II CLASSIFICATION
• Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus
• TASC classification gives recommendations for the management of PVD
secondary to atherosclerosis affecting the lower limbs.
