The first renal artery balloon angioplasties were performed by Felix Mahler in Berne and Andreas Grüntzig in Zurich in 1977 using self-made, bulky, coaxial balloon catheters.1,2 Until the beginning of the 1990s, balloon angioplasty was the only method of percutaneous treatment of renal artery stenosis (RAS) with satisfying acute and long-term results for angioplasty of stenoses caused by… View more

Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is a common manifestation of atherosclerotic disease. Although the exact prevalence rate for the population as a whole is unknown, RAS is seen in a significant proportion of patients who present with another manifestation of atherosclerosis (Table 1).1–7 Despite this high degree of prevalence, the management of RAS, specifically the role of revascularisation, remains… View more

Catheter-based vascular interventions continue to evolve as new devices continue to expand the capabilities of interventionalists and improve patient safety. The importance of athero-embolisation during vascular intervention has long been recognised.1 Embolic protection devices (EPDs) were developed to help prevent embolisation during endovascular procedures. The risk of distal embolisation is… View more

With an ageing population, the burden of peripheral artery diseases (PADs) is increasing. The treatment of these diseases has largely been performed by interventional radiologists, vascular surgeons and interventional cardiologists. In 2011, the percentage of procedures performed per specialty were 12.9 %, 45.0 % and 42.2 % for interventional radiology, vascular surgery and interventional… View more

It is my pleasure to introduce Volume 6 Issue 1 of Interventional Cardiology. The contents of this fascinating issue highlight the continued excitement and diversity that exist in our field. For a period of over a decade, from the advent of bare-metal stents, culminating with the triumph of drug-eluting stents, interventional cardiology had a virtually unbroken winning streak. However, in 2006,… View more

Hypertension is one of the most important public health problems of the 21st century, with a global prevalence of around 30 %.1 In 2010, it accounted for 7.5 million deaths worldwide, representing 12.8 % of the global total.2 Furthermore, its prevalence is projected to rise to 1.5 billion hypertensive patients in 2025.3 Despite the availability of numerous safe and effective antihypertensive… View more

Up to one-in-five treated hypertensive patients are deemed to be treatment resistant1-3 (on at least three different anti-hypertensive medication classes, including a diuretic)4-6 and have high cardiovascular risk.7-9 There is a paucity of high-quality evidence to suggest that the addition of a fourth line (or fifth, sixth line, etc.) medication is likely to bring either hypertension under… View more
