Transplant arteriosclerosis : an experimental study on risk factors and pathogenetic mechanisms [PDF]

, 2001
In this thesis, we focused on vascular damage inflicted after transplantation, i.e. injury of the graft vasculature as a result of an alloreactive response of the host against the graft, and everal factors in-fluencing this process.

Engineering an artificial trachea: Quantitative benchmarks and modular strategies for mechanics, epithelialization, and vascular integration

FlexMat, EarlyView.
In this work, we first examine the limitations of surgical repair and stenting, including migration, granulation, mucus plugging, and infection. We then translate these failures into engineering constraints involving geometry, mechanics, fixation, degradation, junctional stress, and remodeling.

Aortic Graft Infection Secondary to Iatrogenic Transcolonic Graft Malposition

, 2018
Aortic graft infections are a rare but devastating complication of aortic revascularization. Often infections occur due to contamination at the time of surgery.

Infection of a ruptured aortic aneurysm and an aortic graft with bacille Calmette-Guérin after intravesical administration for bladder cancer [PDF]

, 1995
A case of aortic graft infection with bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is described. The graft was placed during urgent repair of a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm 2 years after intravesical administration of BCG for grade II transitional cell carcinoma ...

Challenging the Leukocyte‐Centric Model of Innate Immunity: The Emerging Role of Structural Cells in Immune Defense

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
Structural cells (endothelial, epithelial, neural, and muscle) actively participate in innate immunity as primary responders, challenging the traditional leukocyte‐centric paradigm and opening new therapeutic avenues for precision medicine. ABSTRACT Innate immunity has long been viewed as the domain of circulating mobile immune cells orchestrating ...

Aortic prosthetic graft infection accompanied with esophagomediastinal fistulas: A case report [PDF]

, 2012
Prosthetic graft infection is difficult to diagnose early, and hence, is associated with high mortality and morbidity rates. A 63-year-old man who had undergone surgical prosthetic replacement for an inflammatory thoracic aortic aneurysm 10 months ...

Histological Analysis of Cryopreserved Venous Allografts Used for Liver Transplantation and Hepato‐Biliary‐Pancreatic Surgery

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cryopreserved venous allografts, which we pioneered in 1999 for use in living donor liver transplantation and hepato‐biliary‐pancreatic surgery, are widely used and are believed to preserve vascular architecture with minimal anticoagulation or immunosuppression requirements and patency comparable to autologous grafts.

Sheathless Transcaval Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Through an Abdominal Aortic Graft. [PDF]

, 2018
An 82-year-old patient presented with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis, a high surgical risk profile, and a history of abdominal aortic replacement. Arterial access vessel conditions precluded transarterial transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI)
