Abstract
The perfusion sleeve (PS) is an "over-the-balloon" catheter designed to add perfusion capability to standard PTCA catheters. To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of this device, eight patients underwent standard PTCA with the PS retracted in the guide (Inflation 1-Control) and after deployment of the PS (Inflation 3-Control). Between standard inflations the PS was advanced and aligned with the already positioned PTCA balloon which was inflated for up to 15 minutes (Inflation 2-Perfusion). TIMI III flow was present in 5/7 and TIMI II flow in 2/7 patients during Inflation 2-Perfusion. Absolute ST segment shift (mm) on the ECG was significantly less at 3 minutes and prior to balloon deflation with the PS in place (1.0 +/- 1.4 and 1.1 +/- 1.1 mm) compared to Inflation 1-Control and Inflation 3-Control (2.6 +/- 1.3 and 2.3 +/- 0.3 mm) respectively (P < or = 0.05). Use of the PS in conjunction with standard PTCA is feasible, provides perfusion during prolonged balloon inflations and reduces the magnitude of ischemia.

Abstract
Percutaneous coronary interventions have been performed for 20 years. Despite the success and progress of these interventions, abrupt vessel closure has been a dramatic adverse event of coronary interventions. Closure has frequently led to the major complications of death, myocardial infarction, and emergency coronary artery bypass. Because of the fear of this adverse event and its subsequent complications, the applicability of coronary interventions is sometimes limited. The pathologic characteristics of abrupt vessel closure have been recognized as predominantly caused by dissection, with vessel recoil and thrombus formation playing important secondary roles. The recognition of the lesions at risk for abrupt vessel closure has led to a strategy of lesion-specific device therapy to reduce complications. Similarly the role of antiplatelet and antithrombotic therapies have reduced complications. The earliest methods of dealing with abrupt closure was emergency coronary artery bypass surgery with significant rates of morbidity and mortality. With the advent of second-generation devices and techniques, particularly stents, the management of abrupt vessel closure has been simplified and alternatives to emergency coronary bypass are more available. This article will review the history and current status of the prevention and management of abrupt vessel closure and demonstrate that anticipation and management of this complication have been facilitated with reduction of subsequent complications and increased applicability of coronary interventions.

Abstract
While abundant clinical and angiographic data are available regarding features of acute or abrupt closure at the site of balloon angioplasty, little morphologic information is available. This study discusses morphologic-histologic causes for acute closure after angioplasty in 130 necropsy patients. Intimal-medial flaps, elastic recoil, and primary thrombosis were the three leading morphologic causes for closure. Data were subdivided into time categories: abrupt (< 1 day), acute (< 1 week), and early (< 1 month). Intimal-medial flaps remained the most common cause for angioplasty closure despite time from angioplasty to documented occlusion. Morphologic recognition of types and frequencies of angioplasty closure are discussed, and specific mechanical, pharmacologic, or combined treatments are reviewed.

Abstract
Distal coronary hemoperfusion during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA)-with an autoperfusion balloon or active system-facilitates prolonged balloon inflation. Prolonged inflations may tack up intimal dissections and improve the primary angioplasty result in complex lesions. Additionally, distal perfusion may reduce the likelihood of cardiogenic shock during high-risk PTCA. Autoperfusion balloons are most frequently used to treat acute or threatened closure. There currently is no prospective clinical study showing that stent implantation for this complication is more successful and more cost-effective. The blood flow rates through autoperfusion balloons may not abolish myocardial ischemia, and higher flow rates can often be achieved with pumps. Therefore, during high-risk PTCA, pumps may be preferred to prevent hemodynamic collapse. Clinical application of perfusion pumps is hampered by the risk for mechanical hemolysis during prolonged perfusion and the high velocity of the bloodstream that exits the PTCA catheter, causing distal vessel wall trauma.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate feasibility, safety, and efficacy of bailout Palmaz-Schatz stenting in a series of 39 patients with coronary dissection associated with acute or unequivocal threatened closure complicating conventional angioplasty. No anatomical characteristics other than reference vessel diameter < 3 mm were considered as contraindications for bailout coronary stenting. Stringent criteria were adopted in defining optimal results (< 10% residual stenosis, no angiographic evidence of residual dissection), suboptimal results (> 10% residual stenosis or angiographic evidence of residual dissection), deployment failure (failure to deploy the stent because of poor trackability or persistent occlusion despite stent deployment). A total of 49 stents and 7 half-stents were implanted in 36 patients (range 1-5; mean 1.45 +/- 0.84). Successful stenting without in-hospital death, urgent or semielective coronary surgery, stent thrombosis, or Q-wave myocardial infarction was achieved in 33/39 patients (85%). A suboptimal result was associated with an increased risk of in-hospital recurrence of ischemia and other related major adverse events (2/5 patients with suboptimal results vs. 1/31 patients with complete deployment success; P < 0.05). Multiple stents implantation did not carry a significant risk of major cardiac adverse events. The results of this study suggest that bailout Palmaz-Schatz stenting may be considered a stand-alone treatment of coronary dissection if an optimal acute angiographic result is achieved.

Abstract
Efficacy and major clinical end points were compared in 61 patients treated with a Stack autoperfusion balloon versus 36 patients who received a Palmaz-Schatz stent for acute or threatened closure during coronary angioplasty. The groups were comparable regarding baseline clinical characteristics. Procedural success was achieved in 43 patients (70%) treated with an autoperfusion balloon versus 34 patients (94%) who received a stent (p < 0.02). Emergency bypass surgery was performed in 13 patients (21%) with the autoperfusion balloon versus none of the patients with a stent (p < 0.001). In the stent group, 3 patients (8%) died (p < 0.05); 2 deaths were caused by thrombotic reclosure, and 1 patient died after unsuccessful stent delivery. Subacute reclosure during hospitalization occurred in none of the patients with autoperfusion versus 8 patients with the stent (22%) (p < 0.0002). Therefore, the number of patients with successful stent implantation at discharge decreased to 26 (72%). At 3-month follow-up in all patients with a successful intervention, reclosure or angiographic restenosis (> 50%) occurred in 13 patients with autoperfusion (30%) versus 3 patients with stents (12%) (p = NS). There was no difference in event-free survival during follow-up. Thus, both interventions were equally successful in the treatment of acute and threatened closure. More emergency surgery was performed in the autoperfusion balloon group, whereas a higher subacute reclosure rate was seen in the stent group. At 3-month follow-up, there were no significant differences regarding reclosure, restenosis, and event-free survival.

Abstract
Prolonged inflation with perfusion balloons is commonly used in failed angioplasty. The objective of this study was to determine the angiographic outcome of 59 consecutive patients treated with prolonged inflation with perfusion balloons as the primary treatment for failed angioplasty. Angiographic success (< 50% stenosis and normal flow) was achieved in 41%. Angiographic success was greater in the left anterior descending coronary artery (67% versus 33% for non-left anterior descending involvement, P = .044) and was less in complex dissections (25% versus 75% for no dissection or simple dissections, P = .025). Angiographic deterioration occurred in 37.5% of the successful group and 77% of the unsuccessful group (P = .002) and was more frequent in the right coronary artery (88% versus 50% for non-right coronary involvement, P = .007) and complex dissections (92% versus 38% for no dissection or simple dissections, P = .0001). Thus, in a group of patients with unsuccessful outcome following conventional balloon angioplasty, success with the perfusion balloon was modest. Furthermore, angiographic deterioration was frequently observed following unsuccessful prolonged inflation.

Abstract
Acute coronary occlusion occurs in 4.3% to 8.3% of patients during coronary angioplasty. Its occurrence is difficult to predict in an individual patient. At high risk are patients with unstable angina, intracoronary thrombus, extreme age, long complex lesions, and diffuse disease. "Standard" management including redilation (prolonged perfusion) thrombolytic treatment and emergency bypass surgery is only successful in approximately 50% of the patients and is associated with a high mortality and myocardial infarction rate of < 6% and 30%, respectively. Bail-out stent implantation appears to emerge as an effective alternative in suitable patients and might reduce mortality, the apparent progression to myocardial infarction, or might decrease the need for emergency bypass. New techniques including directional atherectomy, rotational ablation, or the excimer laser are associated with a similar frequency of acute occlusion. Immediate access to a surgical back-up facility remains necessary to treat refractory acute occlusions.

Abstract
To assess the results of a conservative coronary angioplasty strategy in unstable angina pectoris, the records of 1,421 consecutive patients without previous myocardial infarction undergoing a first percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) between 1986 and 1990 were reviewed. Of these patients, 631 had unstable and 790 had stable angina pectoris. Only after an intense effort to medically control symptoms, the unstable patients underwent PTCA at an average of 15.4 days (range 1 to 76) after hospital admission. Primary clinical success was achieved in 91.7% of patients with unstable and in 94.4% of those with stable angina pectoris (p = not significant). In-hospital mortality rates were 0.3 and 0.1%, respectively (p = not significant). Nonfatal in-hospital event rates for acute myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident and coronary bypass surgery were only slightly higher in patients with unstable angina pectoris; however, the difference from the stable group was significant when all events were combined (9 vs 5.9%; p less than 0.04). During 6-month follow-up, no significant difference in adverse events was found between the groups. The respective rates for the unstable and stable groups were 0.4 and 0.2% for death, 5.5 and 5.1% for major nonfatal events, and 17.7 and 20.1% for repeat PTCA. These results suggest that use of a conservative PTCA strategy in the treatment of patients with unstable angina pectoris results in favorable and similar immediate and 6-month outcomes compared with those in patients with stable angina pectoris.
