Neuroform Atlas stent-assisted coiling yields favorable outcomes in treatment of intracranial aneurysms in arteries ...

WASHINGTON, DC—A three-way comparison of optical coherence tomography (OCT), intravascular ultrasound, and angiography has come up with mixed results when it comes to choosing the best imaging ...

SAN DIEGO, CA—IVUS-guided implantation of drug-eluting stents results in lower rates of target vessel failure (TVF) by 1 year compared to angiography-guided procedures, according to results from a new ...

No IVUS was performed before stent placement in either group. In the angiography-directed (AG) arm, procedural success was defined as <10% stent diameter stenosis compared with the distal reference ...

Abbott aims to build optical coherence tomography into a preferred tool for guiding the placement of stents that increase blood flow to the heart muscle. But a pair of major late-breaking studies ...

A new method for determining whether patients with heart disease need coronary stents or bypass surgery is more effective than the angiogram, which is currently used, according to research from ...

Doctors may be implanting too many artery-opening stents and could improve patient outcomes -- and ultimately save lives -- if they did more in-depth measurements of blood flow in the vessels to the ...

Patients with complex coronary artery disease who underwent a stenting procedure guided by intravascular imaging were nearly 40% less likely to die of heart disease, have a heart attack caused by a ...

ATLANTA -- The use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute coronary syndromes resulted in better outcomes compared with ...

Once a coronary stent becomes blocked with scar tissue, the likelihood it will become blocked again is 30 percent to 80 percent. Inserting a second coronary stent that slowly releases anti-scarring ...

STANFORD, Calif. — Doctors may be implanting too many artery-opening stents and could improve patient outcomes — and ultimately save lives — if they did more in-depth measurements of blood flow in the ...
