Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) associated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) minimize procedural and clinical success alike. Percutaneous coronary intervention triggers myocardial inflammation whose size and magnitude depends on the duration of the ischemia produced and is divided into 3 phases: 1) phase of alarm (release of protein molecules), 2) phase of leukocyte mig...

Sebastián Peralta y cols.

Heavily calcified coronary lesions complicate the advancement of balloons and a proper stent expansion and apposition. Different devices have come up today for the management of this type of lesions. High-pressure noncompliant balloons are initially used to dilate areas with fewer calcification with the possibility of generating dissections but without ever changing the plaque calcification. ...
