Optimal Dual Antiplatelet Therapy Duration For Carotid Artery Stenting On the Basis of Angioscopic Findings [PDF]
Background Dual antiplatelet therapy plays a crucial role in preventing thrombosis in the perioperative period of carotid artery stenting (CAS); however, it has been associated with a risk of hemorrhagic complications. A standard regimen for the duration

Clarification of embolic source in ischaemic stroke by non-obstructive general angioscopy [PDF]
Background Aortogenic stroke is an important subtype of embolic strokes, yet lacks a diagnostic method for proactive identification. Non-obstructive general angioscopy (NOGA) is a catheter-based technique to observe spontaneously ruptured aortic plaques (

Hypothesis on the role of cholesterol crystals in spontaneously ruptured aortic plaques: Potential triggers for inflammation and systemic effects [PDF]
Cholesterol crystals (CCs) are a key component of atherosclerotic plaques and play a pivotal role in plaque progression, rupture, and the resulting inflammatory responses.

Endovascular structures of the basilar artery as forms of the basilar nonfusion spectrum [PDF]
Cerebrovascular diseases are a growing social and clinical problem. The intravascular anatomy of the cerebral circulation remains poorly understood, although an increasing number of endovascular interventions are being conducted.

Long-term clinical significance of the presence of puff-chandelier ruptures detected by non-obstructive aortic angioscopy [PDF]
Although studies have reported various patterns of atherosclerotic aortic plaques (AAPs) detected by non-obstructive aortic angioscopy (NOA), the long-term outcomes associated with AAPs such as puff-chandelier rupture atheromatous plaque (PCR), remain ...

Abstract Background Imaging modality‐based evidence is limited that compares the extent of coronary arterial repair after percutaneous coronary intervention between patients with stable angina pectoris (SAP) and those with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods Between December 2018 and November 2021, a single‐center, nonrandomized, observational study

Use of Optical Coherence Tomography in Dentistry
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an optics‐based imaging technique, which may be called an “optical biopsy.” It can be used to acquire structural information about a tissue at a resolution comparable to histopathology. OCT is based on the principle of low‐coherence interferometry where near‐infrared (NIR) light is shown on a tissue sample and then

Background. The morphology of the papillary muscles of the left ventricle is highly variable. Few studies have investigated papillary muscle morphology using imaging. Objective. This study aimed to assess papillary muscle morphology with primary mitral regurgitation (MR) using cardiac computed tomography (CT). Methods.

Abstract Objectives To systematically review available evidence and establish guidelines related to the use of thrombolytics for the management of small animals with suspected or confirmed thrombosis. Design PICO (Population, Intervention, Control, and Outcome) questions were formulated, and worksheets completed as part of a standardized and systematic
