Assessing the effectiveness of primary angioplasty compared with thrombolysis and its relationship to time delay: a Bayesian evidence synthesis [PDF]
, 2007 Background: Meta-analyses of trials have shown greater benefits from angioplasty than thrombolysis after an acute myocardial infarction, but the time delay in initiating angioplasty needs to be considered.

Rupture of the arterial wall causes deflection in pressure time course during ex vivo balloon angioplasty [PDF]
, 1997 A relation between restenosis and arterial lesions resulting from balloon angioplasty has been suggested in literature. Nevertheless, it is unclear to what extent angioplasty-induced arterial wall lesions contribute to the occurrence of restenosis.

A thermodynamic framework for unified continuum models for the healing of damaged soft biological tissue [PDF]
, 2021 When they are damaged or injured, soft biological tissues are able to self-repair and heal. Mechanics is critical during the healing process, as the damaged extracellular matrix (ECM) tends to be replaced with a new undamaged ECM supporting homeostatic stresses. Computational modeling has been commonly used to simulate the healing process.

Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty for failing native hemodialysis arteriovenous fistulas
Al-Azhar Assiut Medical Journal, 2020 Background Stenosis and associated thrombosis is a continual complication of hemodialysis arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs). Early management of stenosis may avoid AVF occlusion and extend its use.

Lumen Shape Reconstruction using a Soft Robotic Balloon Catheter and Electrical Impedance Tomography [PDF]
, 2022 Incorrectly sized balloon catheters can lead to increased post-surgical complications, yet even with preoperative imaging, correct selection remains a challenge. With limited feedback during surgery, it is difficult to verify correct deployment. We propose the use of integrated impedance measurements and Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) imaging to

ASCORE: an up-to-date cardiovascular risk score for hypertensive patients reflecting contemporary clinical practice developed using the (ASCOT-BPLA) trial data. [PDF]
, 2013 A number of risk scores already exist to predict cardiovascular (CV) events. However, scores developed with data collected some time ago might not accurately predict the CV risk of contemporary hypertensive patients that benefit from more modern ...
