Abstract: Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) plays an important role in optimal procedures in complex percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). IVUS catheter entrapment is a rare, but serious complication following stent implantation. Although several percutaneous bailout techniques have been… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0280683
Abstract: Background Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) is used for treatment of inoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and residual pulmonary hypertension after pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) to improve hemodynamics, right ventricular function, and exercise capacity. However, the… read more here.
