Intelligent Micro/Nanorobots for Targeted Interventional Therapy: From Bench to Clinic

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Zirui Zhang et al. reviewed the application and challenges of mobile nanomachines in interventional therapy. By converting exogenous energy, including chemical, magnetic, optical, and ultrasonic sources, into mechanical forces, micro/nanorobots (MNRs) enable precise actuation at unprecedented scales. Evolving far beyond traditional drug delivery, these

Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Block Fibrinolysis in Ischemic Stroke

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objectives Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) failure in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is frequent, but its causes remain elusive. We investigated whether biologically relevant intrathrombus concentrations of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) were achieved in failed IVT and whether neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) contributed to this therapeutic ...

Carotid endarterectomy: The procedure of choice for carotid stenosis

Indian Journal of Neurosurgery, 2013
Ischemic stroke is the commonest cause of neurological morbidity and mortality. Carotid endarterectomy has been shown to be beneficial in preventing ischemic strokes in patients with significant stenosis of the carotid artery, both in symptomatic and ...

Silk Fibroin for Cardiovascular Medical Devices: Review of Material Properties, Applications, and Clinical Potential

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Silk fibroin is an attractive natural biomaterial that can be engineered into diverse cardiovascular constructs, including vascular grafts, cardiac patches, heart valves, and stent coatings. Its tunable biological and mechanical properties have driven substantial preclinical progress; however, widespread clinical translation in cardiovascular ...

Pathophysiology of flow impairment during carotid artery stenting with an embolus protection filter [PDF]

, 2014
Objective: Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is a well-accepted treatment for atherosclerotic stenosis of carotid arteries. Since the occurrence of distal embolization with CAS is still a major concern embolus protection devices (EPD) are usually employed ...

A critical reappraisal of the carotid sinus and carotid bulb: Distinguishing neurohistological function from vascular geometry

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
This review redefines the carotid bulb (CB) as a variable geometric dilation shaped by hemodynamics and the carotid sinus (CS) as a conserved neurohistological baroreceptor field. Distinguishing these entities clarifies a century of anatomical confusion and links geometry, neurohistology, and clinical interpretation within a unified framework ...

Revascularization for failed carotid artery stenting in a patient with a rare vertebral artery anomaly

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2018
There is a growing cohort of patients requiring complex revascularization for failed carotid artery stenting. This revascularization can be complex in patients with coexisting supra-aortic vascular anomalies.

Hyperbranched poly‐L‐lysine surface‐engineered bioprosthetic heart valves with anti‐calcification, anti‐infection, and durability

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The challenges of bioprosthetic heart valves (BHV) with respect to calcification, infection, and poor durability are tackled by surface engineering of hyperbranched poly‐L‐lysine (HBPL), providing a translational solution to improve long‐term valve performance.
