Studies demonstrate ideal Stent expansion with prolonged inflations. Longer inflations, a mediator of greater stent expansion, lower immediate, subacute, and late stent failure. Research should focus on components of stent deployment that optimize early and late stent outcomes.

Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Super High-Pressure Balloon (SIS-OPN) for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv

January 2025

Minneapolis Heart Institute and Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation, Abbott Northwestern Hospital, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.

Introduction: The super high-pressure NC balloon (OPN NC; SIS Medical AG, Winterthur, Switzerland) is increasingly used in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of its efficacy and safety.

Methods: A systematic review was conducted using PubMed and the Cochrane Library to identify studies using the OPN NC balloon in PCI.

Coronary calcification is a major factor leading to stent under-expansion, and subsequent adverse events. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the short and long‑term outcomes of rotational atherectomy (RA), followed by modified balloon (cutting or scoring) (MB) versus plain balloon before drug‑eluting stent implantation for calcified coronary lesions. We searched PubMed, Web of Science (WOS), Scopus, and the Cochrane Library Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), from inception until 30 January 2024.

New treatments for glaucoma.

Curr Opin Ophthalmol

January 2025

New York Eye Surgery Center, New York City, New York, USA.

Purpose Of Review: This review highlights new Federal Drug Administration (FDA) approved glaucoma treatments to familiarize providers with immediately available options.

Recent Findings: New FDA-approved treatments include the bimatoprost implant, travoprost implant, direct selective laser trabeculoplasty (DSLT), and ocular pressure adjusting pump. The bimatoprost implant is approved for a single administration with effects lasting for about 1 year, as opposed to the nearly 3-year effect for the travoprost implant.

Background And Aim: In this retrospective single center cohort study, we report the surgical outcomes of nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) for Wilms' tumor (WT) patients since centralization of pediatric oncology care in the Netherlands, and implementation of technological advancements. Therewith we describe the influence of experience and innovations for this type of surgery.

Methods: We retrospectively assessed all NSS procedures from January 1st 2015 until January 1st 2024 for patients who underwent surgery for a renal tumor at the Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology.

Article Synopsis
  • Heavily calcified coronary artery disease complicates percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), requiring advanced techniques like cutting balloons (CB), which need standardization for better effectiveness.
  • The study presents the RODIN-CUT technique, which involves sequential CB inflations guided by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) to improve plaque modification and stent expansion in difficult cases.
  • Results indicate that RODIN-CUT achieved high procedural success rates and minimal complications, suggesting it could be a simple and cost-effective method for treating calcified lesions, though larger studies are needed to confirm its validity.
