Influence of the arterial elastic component on the response to balloon angioplasty in femoral arteries of a healthy porcine model

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study evaluates the role of elastin in vascular response 28 days after balloon angioplasty using uncoated and paclitaxel‐coated balloons in a healthy porcine model. The results show higher elastin content in external femoral arteries, which is inversely correlated with vascular injury, inflammation, smooth muscle cell loss, proteoglycan and fibrin

Analysis of the correlation between serum homocysteine level and carotid intima-media thickness

open access: yesChinese Journal of Contemporary Neurology and Neurosurgery, 2019
Objective To investigate the serum homocysteine (Hcy) level and intima-media thickness (IMT) of patients with carotid artery stenosis and the relation between the two. Methods A total of 126 patients diagnosed as carotid artery stenosis and performed by

Harnessing Physiological Shear Stress in a Perfusion Bioreactor for Enhanced Endothelialization of Small‐Diameter Vascular Grafts

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Traditional static culture provides limited physiological relevance for evaluation of vascular grafts. A perfusion bioreactor system can provide more accurate in vitro model for evaluation of vascular grafts, exposing endothelial cells on 3D structure to physiological or pathological shear stress.

Risk Factors for Ankle Brachial Index and Carotid Artery Stenosis in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

open access: yesMetabolites
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) significantly increases the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Ankle brachial index (ABI) and carotid artery stenosis are non-invasive indicators of generalized atherosclerosis. This study aimed to explore the

Comparison of Latest Generation Intra‐ and Supra‐Annular Self‐Expanding Transcatheter Heart Valves for Aortic Valve‐in‐Valve Procedures

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Valve‐in‐valve (ViV) procedures are an established therapy. Self‐expanding (SE) supra‐annular transcatheter heart valves (THV) achieve superior hemodynamics compared to balloon‐expandable (BE) intra‐annular THV, but influence of stent design versus valve position remains unclear.

Feasibility and Safety of Transfemoral Aortic Valve Replacement Using Local Anesthesia in the Catheterization Suite Versus General Anesthesia in the Operation Theater

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background For over a decade, transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacements (TF‐TAVR) have been performed at the University Hospital of Nancy. A minimalistic approach to TF‐TAVR, conducted without general anesthesia and entirely percutaneously in a catheterization suite (simplified approach), has been reported to be as safe and ...

Carotid Artery Stenting, Endarterectomy, or Medical Treatment Alone: The Debate Is Not Over [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Tehran University Heart Center, 2011
The management of carotid artery stenosis reduces the risk of stroke and its related deaths. Management options include risk factor modification and medical therapy, carotid endarterectomy (CEA), and carotid artery stenting (CAS).
