Impact of “black rock” on clinical outcomes after endovascular therapy for de novo calcified femoropopliteal lesions
The relationship between severity of calcification and clinical outcomes after endovascular therapy (EVT) for femoropopliteal lesions is well known. We often encounter dense calcifications in our daily practic...

Comparison Between Clinical Outcomes of Low- and High-Dose Paclitaxel Drug-Coated Balloon in Endovascular Therapy for Femoropopliteal Lesion
There is a little datum about the impact of paclitaxel dosage in patients undergoing drug-coated balloons (DCB) in endovascular therapy (EVT) for femoropopliteal lesions. In the current study, the authors soug...

Open AccessImpact of Chocolate percutaneous transluminal angioplasty balloon on vessel preparation in drug-coated balloon angioplasty for femoropopliteal lesion
To compare the impact of Chocolate and conventional balloons on vessel preparation in percutaneous transluminal angioplasty.

Scoring model to predict low image quality of drug-eluting stent evaluated by computed tomography coronary angiography
Evaluation of in-stent restenosis (ISR) by computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) is less invasive but often impossible. We aimed to create a scoring model for predicting which drug-eluting stents (DE...

Usefulness of ultrasound-guided intraluminal approach for long occlusive femoropopliteal lesion
To investigate the usefulness of ultrasound-guided (USG) intraluminal approach for femoropopliteal (FP) lesion. 64 patients (73 limbs) with de novo long occlusive (> 15 cm) FP lesions underwent USG intralumial...

Additional debulking efficacy of low-speed rotational atherectomy after high-speed rotational atherectomy for calcified coronary lesion
We aimed to evaluate the additional debulking efficacy of low-speed rotational atherectomy (RA) after high-speed RA by using intravascular imaging. A total of 22 severe calcified coronary lesions in 19 patient...

Differences between first-generation and second-generation drug-eluting stent regarding in-stent neoatherosclerosis characteristics: an optical coherence tomography analysis
We compared first-generation and second-generation drug-eluting stent (DES) with respect to neoatherosclerosis using optical coherence tomography or optical frequency domain imaging. In-stent restenoses in 102...

Optical frequency-domain imaging findings to predict good stent expansion after rotational atherectomy for severely calcified coronary lesions
We aimed to evaluate the optical frequency-domain imaging (OFDI) findings after rotational atherectomy (RA) that predict good stent expansion for severely calcified coronary lesions. Fifty consecutive calcifie...

Very early neointimal coverage of new biodegradable polymer drug-eluting stent compared with durable polymer everolimus-eluting stent evaluated by optical frequency domain imaging
Polymeric component is associated with the increased risk of delayed vessel healing and stent endothelialization. We aimed to clarify neointimal coverage within 1 month after implantation of the new-generation...

New scoring model (DARSYM score) to predict post-discharge bleeding after successful second-generation drug-eluting stent implantation
We aimed to create a scoring model to predict post-discharge bleeding (PDB) after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation in Japanese subjects. We enrolled 1912 consecutive patients undergoing DES implantation (...

Comparison of first- and second-generation drug-eluting stent efficacies for treating left main and/or three-vessel disease: a propensity matched study
The efficacy of second-generation drug-eluting stent (DES) for the treatment of left main disease (LM) and/or three vessel disease (3VD) remains unclear. We compared 2-year outcomes of second- versus first -ge...

Coronary artery calcification as a new predictor of non-target lesion revascularization during the chronic phase after successful percutaneous coronary intervention
In the drug-eluting stent era, the outcome of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has remarkably improved. Nevertheless, non-target lesion revascularization (non-TLR) is often performe...
