The doses for the procedure during interventional radiology are generally very high, e.g., 7.5-57 mSv for PTCA (percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty), 2-40 mSv for TIPS (transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt), 17-25 mSv for radiofrequncy ablation, 5.7-20 mSv for cerebral embolization, and 0.3-24 mSv for biliary procedure (O Table 55.20).

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is one of a host of techniques performed by using a catheter inserted via a major limb artery that aims to relieve nanowing of coronary arteries. For example, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is the classic PCI that uses a catheter-directed balloon to dilate a stenotic coronary artery, and more recent PCIs include stent implantation, rotational atherectomy, and laser angioplasty.

Anticoagulant in patients with unstable angina who are undergoing percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in conjunction with aspirin IV 0 75 mg/kg as IV bolus followed by IV infusion at rate of 1.75 mg/kg/hr for duration of procedure. After initial 4-hr infusion is completed, may give additional IV infusion at rate of 0.2 mg/ kg/hr for 20 hr or less, if necessary. [Pg.148]

Vascular stenting has become a common procedure during percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) procedures because it has been found to reduce restenosis (Narins et al., 1998). In both the STRESS (Stent Restenosis Study) and BENESTENT... [Pg.451]

This chapter focuses on percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), provides a summary of the underlying immune activities of the diseased vasculature, and focuses in part on the role of immune and inflammatory mediators in the restenotic process. In addition, the mechanism of action of sirolimus, the drug used in the first successful DES for reduction of restenosis will be highlighted. Finally, the potential role for immune mediators on the overall processes of atherosclerosis will be explored. [Pg.315]
