An incidentally noted aneurysm in the left renal artery in a 60-year-old woman was treated with a balloon-expandable covered stent; such stents appear to offer potential in the treatment of renal artery aneurysms, even in cases where complex...

Using the novel JENALI scoring system allowed for direct comparison between intravascular ultrasound and angiography. In theory, the comparison can be extended to other imaging modalities. Risk stratification, treatment, and patient outcomes...

As a new coronary bifurcation provisional stenting method, the “balloon-stent kissing” technique is associated with a high procedural success rate, improved SB patency, and a low rate of immediate cardiac events.
