Preliminary Interpretation of the Data from the Static Long-Term Monitoring Sys...
Marra, M; Ghini, E; Palermo, M; Silvestri, S; Gasparini, G; Pereira, SB; Magalhães, F.Structural Health Monitoring plays a very important role in the diagnostic process of existing structures, and especially for historical and cultural buildings, whose structural behaviour is generally affected by significant uncertainties that render each structure unique. If properly associated to an extensive knowledge of the materials and the structural layout, it represents an important tool to obtain preci...
Global Chronic Total Occlusion Crossing Algorithm
Wu, EB; Brilakis, ES; Mashayekhi, K; Tsuchikane, E; Alaswad, K; Araya, M; Avran, A; Azzalini, L; Babunashvili, AM; Bayani, B; Behnes, M; Bhindi, RThe authors developed a global chronic total occlusion crossing algorithm following 10 steps: 1) dual angiography; 2) careful angiographic review focusing on proximal cap morphology, occlusion segment, distal vessel quality, and collateral circulation; 3) approaching proximal cap ambiguity using intravascular ultrasound, retrograde, and move-the-cap techniques; 4) approaching poor distal vessel quality using th...
