A Case of Unprotected Left Main Coronary Stenosis Rescued by Directional Coronary Atherectomy as A Last Resort.

Japanese Circulation Journal (1995)

Tetsuro Toeda Takashi Miida Hirotaka Oda Norio Higuma

The prognosis of left main coronary stenosis complicating cardiogenic shock is very poor. Unprotected left main coronary stenosis usually preclude percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty because of the appearance of elastic recoil and the risk of hemodynamic collapse after acute closure of the artery. An 85-year-old woman with no history of heart disease developed cardiogenic shock. Coronary arteriography showed an unprotected left main coronary stenosis. Due to her advanced age, her family opposed coronary artery bypass surgery. We report here the successful treatment of this case of unprotected left main coronary stenosis by directional coronary atherectomy as a last resort.

Highly Vascular Pelvic Tumor Causing High-Output Heart Failure Because of Massive Arteriovenous Shunting-A Case Report-

Circulation Journal (2003)

Kazuyuki Ozaki Hirotaka Oda Katsuharu Hatada Katsuyuki Sakai Kazuyoshi Takahashi

A 53-year-old Japanese woman underwent investigation of her heart murmur. A continuous abdominal bruit was heard. Blood gas analysis and chest X-ray showed congestive heart failure. Enhanced computed tomography of the pelvis showed a 10 x 4 cm hypervascular tumor in the retroperitoneal space. Cardiac catheterization disclosed a cardiac output of 13.2 L/min and a step-up of oxygen at the right common iliac vein. Abdominal aortic angiography showed an extremely vascular pelvic tumor and rapid filling of the inferior vena cava. This is a rare case of a highly vascular pelvic tumor causing high-output heart failure because of th massive arteriovenous shunting.

Treatment of unstable angina with cholesterol embolization as a complication of left heart catheterization.

Japanese Circulation Journal (1990)

Hirotaka Oda Tsutomu Miida Hironori Sato Norio Higuma

We describe 3 patients with cholesterol embolization after left heart catheterization via the femoral route. The left catheterizations were performed via the femoral route in all reported cases in which cholesterol embolization occurred as a complication of left catheterization. Postmortem examinations revel that PTCA, using the right brachial approach, is the safest method for treatment of intractable angina in patients with evidence of cholesterol embolization.

Exercise Induced Atrioventricular Block with Gap Phenomenon in Atrioventricular Conduction

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology (2000)

Tetsuro Toeda SHYUJI SUETAKE Keiichi Tsuchida Kazuyoshi Takahashi Tsutomu Miida

A 54‐year‐old man with normal atrioventricuiar (AV) conduction at rest gave a 4‐year history of presyncope during exercise. Treadmill testing showed exercise induced AV block. Electrophysiological study demonstrated rate dependent infranodal AV block and abnormal refractory period of the His‐Purkinje system. The gap phenomenon in AV conduction occurred during the programmed stimulation. Supernormal conduction could be considered as the mechanism of the gap phenomenon in this patient.

Endovascular Stent-Grafting for Recurrent Aneurysm in Behcet's Disease

International Heart Journal (2005)

Hiroshi Watanabe Hirotaka Oda Tsuyoshi Yoshida Masayuki Yamaura Kazuyoshi Takahashi

Arterial aneurysms represent a severe complication of Behcet's disease. A 42-year-old woman with Behcet's disease had a recurrence of an aneurysm after two surgical repair attempts using grafts. A covered stent-graft was implanted in her iliac external artery to occlude the neck of the aneurysm at the anastomosis of the bypass graft to her external iliac artery. The procedure reduced the size of the aneurysm by allowing the formation of a thrombus within its cavity. The implantation of an endovascular stent-graft may be a sound alternative to surgical repair for aneurysms associated with Behcet's disease.

In Vitro Examination of the Safety of Rotational Atherectomy of Side Branches Jailed by Stents

Japanese Circulation Journal (1999)

Hirotaka Oda Tsutomu Miida Tetsurou Toeda Norio Higuma Kazuyoshi Takahashi

In vitro experimental models of branch orifices jailed by various stents were created to estimate the safety and the efficacy of rotational atherectomy when rotational burrs were advanced through the struts of stents. The scaffolding structures of the stents were destroyed due to loss and deflection of the struts, and the size of ablated stent-particles differed: the maximal size was 1.7 mm in slotted stents, and 17.6 mm in coiled stents. Thus, there is a definite potential for ablating stents when rotational atherectomy of restenotic lesions of side-branch orifices jailed by stents is performed.
