Oxygen Supplementation Improves Oxygen Uptake Kinetics and Exercise Performance in PAH and CTEPH Patients

open access: yesComprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 3, June 2026.
In patients with pulmonary vascular diseases (PAH and CTEPH), supplemental oxygen (FiO2 0.3), compared to room air (FiO2 0.21) improved peak exercise capacity (peak V̇O2), peak sustainable exercise (V̇O2 at GET), and V̇O2 kinetics and the onset of exercise.

An investigation into the influence of stent strut thickness on in-stent restenosis using the finite element method [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
In-stent restenosis represents the major limitation for stenting procedures. In-stent restenosis is the renarrowing o f the artery lumen within a stent predominantly due to excessive growth of neointimal hyperplasia.

Finite Element Analysis of Balloon-Expandable Coronary Stent Deployment: Influence of Angioplasty Balloon Configuration

open access: yes, 2013
Today, the majority of coronary stents are balloon-expandable and are deployed using a balloon-tipped catheter. To improve deliverability, the membrane of the angioplasty balloon is typically folded about the catheter in a pleated configuration. As such,

The Bridge Occlusion Balloon for Venous Angioplasty in Superior Vena Cava Occlusion

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery
The Bridge Occlusion Balloon is a compliant balloon, specifically designed for temporary Superior vena cava occlusion in case of Superior Vena Cava laceration during lead extraction procedures. We here report the first case, using Bridge Occlusion Ballon

Vascular Calcification: Mechanisms, Models, and Therapies

open access: yesiNew Medicine, Volume 2, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Vascular calcification represents an active multifactorial process that mirrors several key features of skeletal bone mineralization. Clinically, it is characterized by diminished arterial compliance and increased arterial wall stiffness, both of which serve as independent predictors of significant adverse cardiovascular events.

Importance of balloon size in coronary angioplasty

open access: yes, 1989
The effect of balloon size on the success of coronary angioplasty was studied to develop quantitative criteria for optimal selection of balloon size. Coronary dimensions of 165 stenotic lesions were measured by computer-assisted cinevideodensitometry in ...

Self‐Expanding Cardiovascular Stents: Potentials and Challenges of Shape Memory Biomaterials

open access: yesJournal of Biomedical Materials Research Part B: Applied Biomaterials, Volume 114, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Cardiovascular diseases affect a large portion of the global population and remain leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Endovascular stenting, a minimally invasive procedure, enables the insertion and deployment of stents to restore arterial patency without open surgery.

Endothelium-dependent arterial vasoconstriction after balloon angioplasty.

open access: yes, 1989
To determine whether balloon angioplasty can provoke arterial vasoconstriction independent of platelet aggregation and neurogenic input, we studied the spontaneous vasomotor effects of balloon dilatation in isolated, perfused whole-vessel segments of ...

Intestinal Ischaemia and Perforation After Veno‐Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VV‐ECMO) for Acute Exacerbation of Interstitial Lung Disease: An Autopsy Case

open access: yesRespirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
A patient with an acute exacerbation of interstitial lung disease developed a myocardial infarction, a pulmonary embolism and a fatal intestinal perforation after veno‐venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and continuous haemodiafiltration. This autopsy case highlights the difficulty of balancing thrombosis and bleeding and the need for early ...
