Safety and Clinical Outcomes of Endovascular Treatment of Adult-Onset Pulmonary Artery Stenosis
05/03/2016
Pulmonary artery stenosis (PAS) in adults is a rare condition. This retrospective review of all cases of adult-onset PAS from 1990 to 2013 indicates that endovascular treatment appears safe and effective for symptom relief.

Novel Technique of Advancing the Rotational Atherectomy Device: "Single-Operator" Technique
04/30/2016
The “single-operator” technique allows successful RA without a skilled assistant to maintain wire position during advancement of the burr; the absence of an assistant should therefore not eliminate the performance of RA.
