PCI for occlusive in-stent restenosis is challenging principally due to the highly resistant nature of the material that comprises the proximal cap. We present a case where conventional techniques failed, and its successful resolution with...

Although the feasibility and safety of robotically assisted peripheral vascular intervention (PVI) for iliac and femoral peripheral arterial disease (PAD) have been demonstrated, robotic PVI for below-the-knee disease has never been reported....

We aimed to illustrate one of the mechanisms of rotational atherectomy burr entrapment in a coronary stent where the burr was rolled up in the stent’s struts. Physicians performing rotational atherectomy should be aware of this complication...

We present the case of a 73-year-old male who presented with exertional angina; imaging demonstrated severe coronary artery disease and a large coronary artery fistula. Ligation of the fistula resulted in severe right ventricular failure and...

CENTRAL was a prospective, multicenter, 100 patient study designed to evaluate the ability of a recanalization catheter system to cross chronic total occlusions (CTOs) of the superficial femoral artery while staying within the central vessel...
