Two-stage treatment for diabetic foot: Surgical peripheral revascularization and minor amputation in day-surgery admission

open access: yes, 2008
Diabetic foot is complex and difficult to treat. More aggressive treatment using peripheral distal by-pass frequently combined to minor amputations has greatly improved limb salvage in most patients. However, diabetes-related amputations are at high risk

Intravascular Ultrasound in Chronic Limb‐Threatening Ischemia Endovascular Revascularization: A Multidisciplinary Survey of Clinical Practices and Operator Perceptions

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) may be beneficial for guiding endovascular revascularization in patients with chronic limb‐threatening ischemia (CLTI); however, its use remains limited. Methods We surveyed interventional radiologists, vascular surgeons, and interventional cardiologists in the United States, Canada, and the United ...

A Modified Technique for Converting Retrograde Femoral Artery Access to Antegrade Access With the Assistance of a Long Sheath

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Percutaneous femoral access serves as the cornerstone of endovascular therapy of lower extremity arterial disease. In complex cases, the arterial disease of lower extremity are involve in ipsilateral iliac artery pathology, which conventional treatment strategies typically require multiple punctures or staged procedures.

All‐in‐One Intelligent Hemostatic Sponge: Rapid Hemostasis for Non‐Compressive Wounds With Synergetic Enhanced Antibacterial Efficacy and Self‐Reporting Biodegradation

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Clinicians often concurrently tackle critical challenges including emergency hemorrhage, secondary infection, and the elusive tracking of biodegradation of conventional hemostatic agents for complex wounds. Here, we report an intelligent hemostatic sponge (spCS@AIE) by incorporating aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) nanoparticles with short‐wave ...

Peptide RL‐QN15 Regulates Functions of Epidermal Stem Cells to Accelerate Skin Wound Regeneration via the FZD8/β‐Catenin Axis

open access: yesExploration, EarlyView.
Amphibian‐derived peptide RL‐QN15 activates the Wnt/β‐catenin signaling pathway by interacting with the FZD8 membrane receptor, promoting epidermal stem cells proliferation, migration, stemness, and EMT processes, thus promoting skin wound healing.
