Angioplasty, Various Techniques and Challenges in Treatment of Congenital and Acquired Vascular Stenoses

The field of performing transcatheter interventions to treat vascular lesions has exploded over the past 20 years. Not only has the technology changed, especially in the arena of balloon/stent devices, but the techniques of approaching complex lesions has evolved over the past decade. Lesions that no one would have imagined treating back in the 1990's are now being done routinely in the catheterization suite. This book provides an update on the current techniques and devices used to treat a wide variety of lesions. Though, at first, the outward appearance of the topics appears to be varied, they are all related by the common thread of treating vascular lesions. We hope, by publishing this book, to accomplish two things: First, to offer insight from experts in their field to treat, both medically and procedurally, complex vascular lesions that we frequently encounter. Secondly, we hope to promote increased communication between areas of medicine that frequently don't communicate, between adult interventional cardiologists, pediatric interventional cardiologists, interventional radiologists, and neurosurgeons. Much can be learned from our respective colleagues in these areas which can further our own world of interventions Cover......Page 1 ANGIOPLASTY......Page 2 ©......Page 3 Contents......Page 5 Preface......Page 8 1 Percutaneous Angioplasty and Stenting for Mesenteric Ischaemia......Page 12 2 Cerebral Hyperperfusion Syndrome After Angioplasty......Page 20 3 Below the Knee Techniques: Now and Then......Page 52 4 Investigation of the Oxidative Stress, the Altered Function of Platelets and Neutrophils, in the Patients with Peripheral Arterial Disease......Page 74 5 Antithrombotic Therapy After Peripheral Angioplasty......Page 100 6 Evidence-Based Invasive Treatments for Cerebral Vasospasm Following Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage......Page 116 7 Angiography for Peripheral Vascular Intervention......Page 132 8 Arterial Angioplasty in Congential Heart Disease......Page 180 9 Carotid Angioplasty......Page 200 10 Revascularization of Tibial and Foot Arteries: Below the Knee Angioplasty for Limb Salvage......Page 220
