Despite major advances in catheter-based therapy and adjunctive pharmacology, percutaneous revascularisation of diseased saphenous vein bypass grafts (SVGs) remains a critical challenge for the interventional cardiologist. Degeneration and occlusion of vein grafts is a common problem with an incidence of 15% to 30% in year one after surgery, 1% to 2% annual occlusion rates in years one to six and… View more

Since its introduction in 1993,1 contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (ce-MRA) has been considered the technique of choice for angiographic examination of most regions of the body. This is because of several technical and clinical advantages in comparison with non-contrast-enhanced MRA (nce-MRA) imaging. In this article, we focus on patients with suspected peripheral arterial… View more

Atherosclerosis is a generalised disease and contributes to cardiac death, stroke, limb loss and a range of other illnesses. Disease in the major arteries, including the infra-renal abdominal aorta, internal iliac arteries, renal arteries and peripheral vasculature, remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality. For example, the prevalence of disease in the infra-renal abdominal aorta ranges… View more

Thrombectomy for patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is an evolving issue. Randomised studies on suction and thrombectomy devices in a whole spectrum of STEMI patients provide conflicting results. New European Society of Cardiology (ESC) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) guidelines do not give definitive recommendations regarding the use of embolic protection devices… View more

After having performed angioplasty in coronary and peripheral vascular disease with excellent results, carotid angioplasty was thought to be an opportunity to simplify the treatment of carotid stenosis. Up until then there was no apparent reason to protect patients against distal embolisation. With the development of carotid angioplasty and stenting, prevention of distal embolisation of… View more
