Balloon Angioplasty (Angioplasty, Transluminal)

Subscribe to New Research on Balloon Angioplasty

Use of a balloon catheter for dilatation of an occluded artery. It is used in treatment of arterial occlusive diseases, including renal artery stenosis and arterial occlusions in the leg. For the specific technique of balloon dilatation in coronary arteries, ANGIOPLASTY, TRANSLUMINAL, PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY is available.

1.	Pathologic Constriction (Stenosis) 06/01/1999 - "Atherosclerotic iliac artery stenoses respond well to simple balloon angioplasty and have the best results of all of the peripheral vessels. " 05/01/1996 - "BACKGROUND: Rotational atherectomy is best suited for treating calcific stenoses, but the ability of rotational atherectomy alone to optimize lumen dimensions in large vessels is limited; this is only partly improved by adjunct balloon angioplasty. " 01/01/1989 - "Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty as best treatment in stenosis of vascular access for hemodialysis." 03/01/1982 - "The improvement in left ventricular function after transluminal angioplasty in these cases of proximal left anterior descending coronary arterial stenosis is extremely encouraging." 02/01/2006 - "A balloon catheter was placed into the stenosis using the guidewire under complete MR guidance, and subsequent balloon angioplasty yielded improved flow conditions.

2.	Renal Artery Obstruction (Renal Artery Stenosis) 12/01/1998 - "In conclusion, most patients with TRAS can be treated successfully with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty as the initial interventional treatment of choice for high-grade renal artery stenosis, and surgical revascularization is indicated when percutaneous transluminal angioplasty cannot be done or is unsuccessful." 09/01/1997 - "We report a case of renal artery stenosis after a living transplant kidney, treated successfully with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and vascular endoprosthesis. " 01/01/2003 - "REVIEWER'S CONCLUSIONS: Available data are insufficient to conclude that balloon angioplasty is superior to medical therapy in lowering blood pressure of patients with renal artery stenosis in whom blood pressure can be controlled with medical therapy. " 01/01/2003 - "Balloon angioplasty is widely used for the treatment of hypertensive patients with renal artery stenosis. " 03/01/1988 - "When technically feasible, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty can provide effective treatment for selected patients with renal artery stenosis."

3.	Myocardial Infarction 01/01/2009 - "CONCLUSION: As compared with balloon angioplasty, routine stenting does reduce angiographic restenosis, without significant benefits in terms of death and reinfarction among patients undergoing primary angioplasty for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction due to proximal left anterior descending artery occlusion." 11/01/1999 - "Primary stent implantation is superior to balloon angioplasty in acute myocardial infarction: final results of the primary angioplasty versus stent implantation in acute myocardial infarction (PASTA) trial. " 08/01/1999 - "Several randomized trials have established that timely mechanical reperfusion with the use of balloon angioplasty is superior to thrombolytic therapy in patients with acute myocardial infarction. " 07/01/1996 - "BACKGROUND: Although stent implantation in patients with effort angina provides better short- and long-term outcomes than balloon angioplasty, it is not clear whether primary stent implantation is applicable or effective in acute myocardial infarction. " 05/01/1995 - "Directional atherectomy led to an initially higher gain in minimal lumen diameter for ostial lesions (1.13 vs. 0.56 mm, respectively, p < 0.001) but a higher rate of adjudicated non-Q wave myocardial infarction (24% vs. 13%, respectively, p < 0.001) than balloon angioplasty and no improvement in restenosis rates (48% vs. 46%, respectively).

4.	Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) 09/01/2001 - "A 13-year-old girl who recently developed hypertension was diagnosed to have an occluded right renal branch artery and was treated successfully with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). " 12/05/1987 - "Technically successful transluminal angioplasty led to cure of hypertension in 4 patients (29%) and "improvement" in 5 (36%). " 03/01/2004 - "In 76 (82%) of 93 patients with SH, hypertension was cured or improved after unilateral adrenalectomy, transsphenoidal pituitary adenectomy or percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. " 01/01/1988 - "Transluminal angioplasty improved hypertension in all cases. " 08/01/2009 - "For patients who develop delayed ischaemia, there is no evidence that hypervolaemia, haemodilution, hypertension, balloon angioplasty or intra-arterial vasodilating agents improve outcome.

5.	Aortic Coarctation 03/15/1999 - "Based on our experience and recent reports, balloon angioplasty is safe and effective in most children older than 7 months and should be considered a viable alternative to operation for discrete aortic coarctation. " 03/01/1992 - "Our experience suggests that balloon angioplasty of native aortic coarctation in adolescents and young adults is safe and highly effective with sustained improvement on intermediate-term follow-up." 02/01/1996 - "On the basis of these data, it is concluded that balloon angioplasty is safe and effective in the treatment of native aortic coarctation; significant incidence of recoarctation is seen in neonates and infants; repeat balloon angioplasty for recoarctation is feasible and effective; and the time has come to consider balloon angioplasty as a therapeutic procedure of choice for the treatment of native aortic coarctation." 03/01/1995 - "Balloon angioplasty of native aortic coarctation is effective in infants and older children. " 11/01/2002 - "Recent data and studies have showed that percutaneous balloon angioplasty is a safe and effective treatment for aortic coarctation. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
