Original Source: Effects of stent implantation for peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis on pulmonary vascular hemodynamics and right ventricular function in a patient with repaired tetralogy of Fallot.
Stent implantation is an effective alternative to surgery and balloon angioplasty for the treatment of stenotic vascular lesions. However, there is concern about the hemodynamic consequences related to the loss of vascular elasticity caused by the non-compliant property of the implanted stent. Here we report data for pulmonary vascular impedance and right ventricular performance after implantation of balloon-expanded stents for peripheral pulmonary stenosis in a 13-year-old girl with repaired pulmonary atre...

Veryan has developed three dimensional (3D) stent technology based upon a helical shape that may be applied to a self-expanding stent platform. The initial objective was to investigate the presen...
Sustained high ventricular rates during persistent or permanent AF can lead to a deterioration in left ventricular function, hence the requirement for rate control. Historically, digoxin has been us...
Ventricular Premature Beats VPB
Arrhythmias are abnormal rhythms of the heart and cause the heart to pump blood less effectively. Most cardiac arrhythmias are temporary and benign, often caused by strong emotions or exercise. None...
Ventricular aneurysms are usually aftereffects of myocardial infarctions. When the heart muscle (cardiac muscle) partially dies during a heart attack, a layer of muscle may survive, and being severe...

Fracture of coronary artery sirolimus eluting stent with formation of four aneurysms.
Coronary stent fracture is a relatively rare but potentially serious complication of coronary artery stenting, in particular with sirolimus-eluting stents. It has been recognized as one possible cause...
