Periodontitis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: A critical appraisal
Abstract In spite of intensive research efforts driving spectacular advances in terms of prevention and treatments, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading health burden, accounting for 32% of all deaths (World Health Organization. “Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs).” WHO, February 1, 2017, https://www.who.int/news‐room/fact‐sheets/detail ...

Efficacy for carotid artery stenting (CAS) has not been confirmed by randomized clinical trial methodology in conventional risk patients. Although carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is considered the preferred method for carotid revascularization in the management of patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic extracranial carotid occlusive disease ...

Numerical simulation of Nitinol peripheral stents: from laser-cutting to deployment in a patient specific anatomy [PDF]
The current clinical trend is to use percutaneous techniques, exploiting Nitinol self-expanding stents, to treat peripheral occluded vessels such as carotid or superficial femoral arteries.

Computed poststenotic flow instabilities correlate phenotypically with vibrations measured using laser Doppler vibrometry : perspectives for a promising in vivo device for early detection of moderate and severe carotid stenosis [PDF]
Early detection of asymptomatic carotid stenosis is crucial for treatment planning in the prevention of ischemic stroke. Auscultation, the current first-line screening methodology, comes with severe limitations that create urge for novel and robust ...

Efficacy of Carotid Artery Stenting [PDF]
Carotid Artery Stenting(CAS) was performed for 51 lesions in 46 patients for almost clinically symptomatic stenotic (>70%)lesions of cervical carotid arteries. The lesions involved the contralateral occlusion cases in eight cases, the bilateral stenotic cases in six cases and the ipsilateral internal carotid artery stenotic cases in two cases.

Simulation of a mechanical thrombectomy device based in the use of self-expandable stents for the blood clots extraction [PDF]
Recently, we have presented some studies concerning the analysis, design and optimization of one experimental device developed in the UK - GPTAD - which has been designed to remove blood clots without the need to make contact with the clot itself ...

Hybrid treatment of symptomatic carotid disease
Hybrid treatment is a well reported technique for tandem carotid artery disease. Herein, we present a previously undescribed technique to facilitate safe passage of a guidewire via the inflow limb of the Pruitt-Inahara shunt in the proximal common ...
