Human blood vessel-derived endothelial progenitors for endothelialization of small diameter vascular prosthesis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Coronary bypass graft failure as a result of acute thrombosis and intimal hyperplasia has been the major challenge in surgical procedures involving small-diameter vascular prosthesis.

Ingrowth of aorta wall into stent grafts impregnated with basic fibroblast growth factor: a porcine in vivo study of blood vessel prosthesis healing [PDF]
Endovascular aneurysm repair is an alternative treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm. The procedure is less invasive, and morbidity and most probably mortality are reduced. However, some problems, such as endoleakage, are yet to be resolved. Endoleakage can occur after graft migration, as a result of insufficient fixation of the stent graft. One cause

One of the most life-threatening vascular diseases is rupture of an abdominal aneurysm. The conventional treatment is based on surgical reconstruction. An alternative treatment is endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). Despite many advantages, one of the problems of EVAR is endoleakage from deficient healing between the aortic neck and the fabric of the ...

The Influence of a Knitted Hydrophilic Prosthesis of Blood Vessels on the Activation of Coagulation System—In Vitro Study [PDF]
The replacement of affected blood vessels of the polymer material can cause imbalances in the blood haemostatic system. Changes in blood after the implantation of vascular grafts depend not only on the chemical composition but also on the degree of surface wettability.

Thermoregulatory integration in hand prosthesis and humanoid robots through blood vessel simulation [PDF]
AbstractIn this paper, we introduce a new approach to give robotic faces a thermal signature similar to that of humans and equip prosthetic or robotic hands with a lifelike temperature. This enhances their detection by infrared cameras and promotes more natural interactions between humans and robots.

Semi-analytical Study of Blood Flow through a Prosthesis Inserted in an Affected Blood Vessel [PDF]
In this work, a two dimensional model of the flow is considered, with focus on effects of the nonlinearity coefficient of elasticity, variation of the radius and the Young modulus. The model described characterizes the blood flow consecutively in aneurysms, stenoses and prostheses.

Surgical repair of an aortoesophageal fistula after salvage thoracic endovascular aortic repair: a case report [PDF]
Background An aortoesophageal fistula can prove to be fatal. Salvage thoracic endovascular aortic repair as a bridging therapy and radical surgery with thoracotomy should be considered while treating aortoesophageal fistula without spontaneous closure ...

Retrieval of Displaced Woven EndoBridge Intrasaccular Flow Disruptor Using Solitaire Platinum Revascularization Device [PDF]
The Woven EndoBridge (WEB; MicroVention, Aliso Viejo, CA, USA) intrasaccular flow disruptor is a therapeutic option for wide neck bifurcation intracranial aneurysms that does not require the use of adjunctive techniques such as stents or balloon ...

[Experimental and clinical research on the Russian Vitaflon blood vessel prosthesis].
The authors have performed an experimental and clinical assessment of a new graft. In 37 mongrel dogs 49 experiments were carried out with the implantation of grafts "Vitaflon" into different parts of the arterial and venous bed. It was shown that the domestic graft from modified polytetraftoroethylene had high biological inertia, good plastic ...

Algorithmic approach to the lymphatic leak after vascular reconstruction: a systematic review
Background To date, there are no consensus guidelines for management of lymphatic leak in groin vascular reconstruction patients. The goal of this study is to review the relevant literature to determine alternatives for treatment and to design an ...
