Drug-Coated vs Uncoated Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty in Infrapopliteal Arteries: Six-Month Results of the Lutonix BTK Trial
07/23/2019
We hypothesized that a drug-coated balloon could improve treatment efficacy while maintaining safety when compared with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty for the treatment of atherosclerotic infrapopliteal arterial lesions.

Coronary Artery Air Embolism
07/23/2019
Coronary artery air embolism can be fatal if not proficiently managed. Vasospasm is said to be protective in that it breaks the larger air bubbles, as occurred in the present case.
