To assess the mechanisms of late arterial response to directional atherctomy (DCA), we analyzed serial intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) measurements in the subset of Adjunctive Balloon Angioplasty Following Coronary Atherectomy Study (ABACAS).Methods: In 39 pts out of 214 pts, who were randomized to DCA alone or to DCA with adjunctive PTCA, prospective serial IVUS was performed at pre and post-procedure,...
Background: It is known that heart rate variability are increased after smoking cessation, compared to the state determined during smoking, but no work has ever been done concerning heart rate variability immediately after smoking cessation.Methods: In the present study heart rate variability immediately after smoking cessation was investigated to determine effects of smoking cessation on autonomic...
Background: The REstenosis ReDUction by Cutting Balloon Evaluation (REDUCE) is a prospective multicenter (44 Japaneses sites) registry to assess the efficacy of Cutting Balloon (CB).Methods: Total target registry is 800 patients, who are randomly assigned to either CB or conventional balloon angioplasty (POBA). At present, preliminary acute results are available for 208 patients out of a 460 patient...
Background: The optimal modality for stent restenosis remains unestablished. Cutting balloon angioplasty (CBA) is a strategy to reduce tissue injury and vessel stretch.Method: To clarify the efficacy and long-term outcomes of CBA for stent restenosis, we analyzed 167 lesions treated by CBA from 9 centers. Until August 1997, clinical and angiographic follow-up has completed in 80% and 72%, respectively...
