14 To assure appropriate use of interventional techniques in patients with coronary blockages, it is required in the case of moderate blockages to assess the functional significance of the blockage using flow measurements in the artery before deciding on pla
15 Treatment of blockages in the artery leading to the arm and hand and to the arteries to the back of the brain can be safely accomplished through the use of catheter intervention and stenting on over 90% of cases. Technical consideration is important and t
16 Twists in the carotid artery leading to the brain can challenge the ability of the operator using standard techniques to place protection devices that make the procedure safe. We describe specific techniques that can facilitate the negotiation of these tw
