RADPAD® Radiation Protection’s Post

In this episode, interventional cardiologist Dr. Peter Soukas joins us to discuss percutaneous transmural arterial bypass (PTAB) using the DETOUR system, a novel percutaneous treatment for extensive and complex blockages in the superficial femoral artery (SFA). Dr. Soukas shares his extensive experience and insights into PTAB development, benefits, patient selection, and procedural details. The idea behind PTAB is to create an SFA-to-popliteal artery bypass through endovascular means, using a system of overlapping stent grafts within the femoral vein as a conduit. When planning the procedure, it is important to consider the location of reentry into the popliteal artery, avoid calcified zones, and meet femoral vein size criteria. Additionally, we explore the advantages of PTAB over other endovascular options and traditional open surgical bypass, which carry a higher likelihood of restenosis and longer recovery times, respectively.

🎉 Exciting News! 🎉 We are thrilled to share a remarkable case report published in the July 2024 issue of Cath Lab Digest, titled "Successful Dilation of a Heavily Calcified LAD With 3 Layers of Under-Expanded Stents With the OPN NC Super High-Pressure Balloon." In this report, the OPN NC Super High-Pressure PTCA Balloon was used to tackle a challenging case involving a heavily calcified left anterior descending (LAD) artery with three layers of under-expanded stents. The OPN NC balloon achieved an incredible dilation, showcasing its unmatched efficacy in dealing with complex lesions. Key Highlights: · The patient had a severely calcified LAD with three under-expanded stents. · The OPN NC balloon, with its twin-layer design and high-pressure capability (up to 35 atm), successfully dilated the lesion. · This breakthrough resulted in optimal stent expansion and significantly improved patient outcomes. This case report underscores why the OPN NC Super High-Pressure Balloon is a game-changer in interventional cardiology. It proves its capability to achieve results where conventional balloons fail, ensuring the best care for patients with complex coronary lesions.

𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲: 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗿𝘂𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗰𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮 (𝗖𝗢𝗔) Excited to share a complex case we recently handled, showcasing our team's expertise and innovative approach to interventional cardiology. 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄: A simultaneous contrast injection via the right femoral and left radial artery revealed an interrupted coarctation of the aorta with well-developed collaterals. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀: • Retrograde wiring initially failed. • Success was achieved via the left radial access using a coronary wire, followed by balloon angioplasty with a coronary balloon. • The wire was snared, and a pigtail catheter was advanced retrogradely beyond the stricture. • A stiff wire was then crossed, and a self-expanding stent was deployed. Post-dilation was strategically postponed for several months to ensure optimal patient outcomes. • This case highlights the importance of adaptability and precision in interventional cardiology. Sharing these experiences helps us all learn and grow in our practice. #Cardiology #InterventionalCardiology #HealthcareInnovation #MedicalProcedures #HeartHealth

WELLEX FEMORAL AND RADIAL SHEATH [email protected] In modern interventional cardiology, the use of femoral and radial sheaths plays a crucial role in facilitating safe and effective access for various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The femoral sheath, inserted via the femoral artery in the groin, offers a direct and larger access route ideal for complex interventions. Meanwhile, the radial sheath, introduced through the radial artery in the wrist, provides a minimally invasive option with a lower risk of complications and faster patient recovery. The choice between femoral and radial access depends on patient-specific factors, procedural requirements, and the clinician’s expertise. Femoral access is often preferred for high-risk or emergency situations requiring larger catheters, while radial access is favored for its patient comfort and reduced bleeding risk. #wellexmed #wellexltd #cardiology #sheath #radial_sheath #femoral_sheath #cardiac_health #cardio_doctors
