BACKGROUND: The optimal coronary stenting technique for true left main bifurcation lesions is uncertain. EBC MAIN (European ...

Summary: The use of balloon angioplasty with or without coronary artery stenting is limited by the phenomenon of in-stent restenosis (ISR). Until very recently, most efforts to overcome ISR had ...

Stents are small, mesh-like tubes used to open narrowed or blocked coronary arteries, and they play a crucial role in restoring blood flow to the heart. In emergencies like heart attacks ...

Coronary angioplasty and stenting are common medical procedures used to widen a narrowed artery and restore optimal blood flow to the heart. During an angioplasty procedure, doctors open the ...

He or she moves the balloon to the narrowed area and inflates it. The balloon presses the plaque against the walls of the artery. This makes more room for blood to flow. The doctor may also put a ...

the LAD supplies a lot of blood to the left side of the heart. This artery is at risk for plaque build-up (atherosclerosis) and coronary artery disease. Angioplasty and stenting are needed to open ...

In the US, nearly two million stents are implanted every year, and they can be life-saving during a heart attack. But they may not always be the best treatment method for coronary artery disease.

Revascularization of small coronary arteries is ... with uncoated stents of the same design. This multicenter, single-blind study included patients with ischemic heart disease who had a single ...

The LAD supplies more than half of the heart’s blood flow ... and almost always insert a stent—a tiny, mesh-like device that holds the artery open and maintains proper blood flow.

Within the anterior interventricular groove, the GCV runs parallel to the LAD, from the apex toward the heart base. At the bifurcation of the left coronary artery, the GCV makes a 90° turn and ...
