SIroliMus coated angioPlasty versus plain balloon angioplasty in the tREatment of dialySis acceSs dysfunctION (IMPRESSION): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

Trials, 2021
Background Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty is the current standard treatment for arteriovenous fistula (AVF) stenosis. The mid- and long-term patency with plain balloon angioplasty (PBA) is however far from satisfactory.

A new strategy of construction of porcine myocardial infarction model for preclinical research

VIEW, EarlyView.
This study proposes a strategy based on the anatomical classification of the porcine left coronary artery (LCA) to establish a stable and reproducible myocardial infarction (MI) model for preclinical research. A combination of LCA classification into nine types via angiography, screening of candidate subtypes, and application of a novel embolic ...

Efficient isogeometric thin shell formulations for soft biological materials

, 2017
This paper presents three different constitutive approaches to model thin rotation-free shells based on the Kirchhoff-Love hypothesis. One approach is based on numerical integration through the shell thickness while the other two approaches do not need ...

Duplex Ultrasound Surveillance After Endovascular Therapy for Peripheral Artery Disease: An Australian and New Zealand Study

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Current practice guidelines lack consensus on optimal surveillance strategies following endovascular interventions for peripheral artery disease (PAD). This study evaluated surveillance practices among vascular surgeons in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ), focusing on duplex ultrasound (DUS) use and factors influencing surveillance ...

Neuropilins 1 and 2 mediate neointimal hyperplasia and re-endothelialization following arterial injury [PDF]

, 2015
AIMS: Neuropilins 1 and 2 (NRP1 and NRP2) play crucial roles in endothelial cell migration contributing to angiogenesis and vascular development. Both NRPs are also expressed by cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and are implicated in VSMC ...

Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty Can Facilitate Rehabilitation in Patient With Hemispatial Neglect: A Case Report

Neurology and Clinical Neuroscience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The superiority of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) over maximal medical therapy for symptomatic intracranial artery stenosis in terms of secondary prevention has yet to be proved. However, several studies have reported that PTA can improve cortical symptoms and cognitive dysfunctions in selected patients with intracranial artery ...
