Platelet function in patients undergoing major non‐cardiac vascular surgery (PLUGS): a prospective cohort study*

Anaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction Patients who require major vascular surgery often receive antiplatelet therapy for primary or secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Clopidogrel resistance and variability in platelet recovery after drug discontinuation pose clinical challenges, particularly for regional anaesthesia and blood management.

Carotid Atherosclerosis: Is It Treatable?

Journal of the Chinese Medical Association, 2005
The assessment of brachial-artery FMD is a reliable, reproducible and noninvasive tool for evaluating endothelial dysfunction, which, together with endothelial inflammation, causes carotid atherosclerosis. Atorvastatin therapy can reverse endothelial dysfunction after 4 months, and may have significant anti-inflammatory effects if continued for more ...

In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation of Decellularized Porcine Femoral Aorta Reinforced With Electrospun Coarse Polycaprolactone Fibers for Vascular Graft Application

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
This study aims to develop a hybrid small‐diameter vascular graft by combining electrospun PCL with decellularized porcine femoral aorta (PECM). The graft showed complete decellularization, strong mechanical integrity, and no layer delamination.

Validation of Aortic Blood Flow Simulations During Extracorporeal Circulation Using Phase Contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
This is the first study assessing in vivo blood flow profiles during extracorporeal circulation (ECC) scenarios. Magnetic resonance imaging data served for the calibration of computational fluid dynamics algorithms, enabling accurate replication of the hemodynamic conditions.
