Editor's Choice – Follow-up of Patients After Revascularisation for Peripheral Arterial Diseases: A Consensus Document From the European Society of C…
2019
International audience; Peripheral arterial diseases comprise different clinical presentations, from cerebrovascular disease down to lower extremity artery disease, from subclinical to disabling symptoms and events. According to clinical presentation, the patient's general condition, anatomical location and extension of lesions, revascularisation may be needed in addition to best medical treatment. The 2017 European Society of Cardiology guidelines in collaboration with the European Society for Vascular Surgery have addressed the indications for revascularisation. While most cases are amenable to either endovascular or surgical revascularisation, maintaining long-term patency is often chall…

Intravascular Lithotripsy for Treatment of Calcified Lesions During Carotid Artery Stenting
2020
Purpose: To report the use of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) in the treatment of calcified carotid artery lesions. Materials and Methods: The records of 21 high-surgical-risk patients (mean age 75.1±8.1 years; 17 men) who were treated at 8 centers for carotid artery stenosis ≥70% were retrospectively reviewed. Twelve patients had a history of cerebrovascular disease. All patients had heavily calcified carotid artery lesions: 19 de novo and 2 in-stent restenoses (ISR). The mean baseline stenosis was 82.3%±9.7%. IVL was utilized at the discretion of the operator, followed by balloon angioplasty. Embolic protection devices were used in all cases. Results: In 19 patients, IVL was followed by s…
Predictors of carotid artery in-stent restenosis
2012
SummaryBackgroundCarotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) is increasingly being used as a treatment alternative to endarterectomy (CEA), especially in patients aged <70 years with significant carotid artery stenosis. However, an in-stent restenosis (ISR) might endangering the long-term efficacy of CAS. The aim of this article was to review the current literature regarding incidence and clinical significance as well as predictors of in-stent restenosis.MethodsWe conducted a systematic review of the literature to identify all studies on the abovementioned factors.Results3 randomized-controlled trials comparing CAS and CEA and 13 single centre studies fulfilled our inclusion criteria. The occurr…
In-Stent Restenosis: Definition, Entity of the Problem, Etiopathogenesis and Treatment Options
2018
In-stent restenosis (ISR) still represents a frequent limitation of percutaneous coronary intervention despite the introduction of latest-generation drug-eluting stents (DES), drastically lowering the overall incidence of ISR. Thus, the treatment of DES ISR remains a real brainteaser for interventional cardiologists.
Coronary Stent Strut Fractures: Classification, Prevalence and Clinical Associations
2021
Introduction. The frequency, characteristics and clinical implications of Strut fractures (SFs) remain incompletely understood. Methods and results. A total of 185 (160 patients) newer-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) were imaged. SFs were found in 21 DES (11.4%) and were classified in four patterns: one single stacked strut (41%)
