Muzaffer Degertekin,Evelyn Regar,Kengo Tanabe,Pieter C. Smits,Willem J. van der Giessen,S. Carlier,Pim J. de Feyter,Jeroen Vos,David P. Foley,J. Ligthart,Jeffrey J. Popma,Patrick W. Serruys +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, Sirolimus eluting stent (SES) implantation in patients with complex in-stent restenosis (ISR) was reported to be effective in de-novo coronary lesions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optical coherence tomography assessment of the acute effects of stent implantation on the vessel wall: a systematic quantitative approach
Nieves Gonzalo,P. W. Serruys,Takayuki Okamura,Zhu Jun Shen,Y Onuma,Hector M. Garcia-Garcia,Giovanna Sarno,Carl Schultz,R.J. Van Geuns,J. Ligthart,Eveline Regar +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic OCT classification for periprocedural vessel trauma was proposed to evaluate its frequency in stable versus unstable patients and to assess its clinical impact during the hospitalisation period.
Journal ArticleDOI
β-Particle–Emitting Radioactive Stent Implantation A Safety and Feasibility Study
Alexander J Wardeh,I. P. Kay,Manel Sabaté,V.L.M.A. Coen,A. L. Gijzel,J. Ligthart,A. den Boer,Peter C. Levendag,W.J. van der Giessen,P. W. Serruys +9 more
TL;DR: The use of radioactive stents with an activity of 0.75 to 1.5 mCi is safe and feasible in patients with single coronary artery disease and no other major cardiac events occurred during the 6-month follow-up.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intracoronary Heparin Delivery in Humans : Acute Feasibility and Long-term Results
Edoardo Camenzind,P.-P. Kint,C. Di Mario,J. Ligthart,W.J. van der Giessen,Eric Boersma,Patrick W. Serruys +6 more
TL;DR: Intracoronary use of the coil balloon after balloon angioplasty proved to be feasible and subjectively as well as objectively well tolerated during prolonged deployment by virtue of its perfusion properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Guidance of intracoronary radiation therapy based on dose-volume histograms derived from quantitative intravascular ultrasound
Stephane Carlier,Johannes P. A. Marijnissen,V.L.M.A. Coen,W.J. van der Giessen,Manel Sabaté,J. Ligthart,A. den Boer,I. Céspedes,Wenguang Li,A.F.W. van der Steen,Peter C. Levendag,P. W. Serruys +11 more
TL;DR: A new modality of dosimetry based on a method that three-dimensional (3-D) image reconstruction of electrocardiogram-gated intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) images is presented, supporting the use of DVH based on quantitative IVUS measurements for optimal dose prescription in vascular interventional radiation therapy.
