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

Animal 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

Enhanced Drug Effect With Cutting Balloon Followed by Drug Coated Balloon in a Rabbit Model

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Drug‐coated balloon (DCB) are effective treatment options for patients with coronary artery disease and using of scoring or cutting balloon before the DCB usage were recommended. However, the effectiveness of lesion preparation with cutting balloons (CB) followed by DCB (CB + DCB) has not been evaluated before.

Wall thickness of the carotid artey as an indicator of generalized atherosclerosis : the Rotterdam study [PDF]

, 1993
The past decades have led to a better understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and its clinical sequelae. Several risk factors have been identified that promote atherosclerosis to develop and of which it is currently known that

Liraglutide improves metabolic parameters and carotid intima-media thickness in diabetic patients with the metabolic syndrome: an 18-month prospective study

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2016
BackgroundLiraglutide, a GLP-1 analogue, exerts several beneficial non-glycemic effects in patients with type-2 diabetes (T2DM), such as those on body weight, blood pressure, plasma lipids and inflammation markers.

Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy: Literature review and red‐flag symptom clusters for each cardiology specialty

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 955-967, April 2025.
Abstract Wild‐type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTRwt‐CM) is a progressive and infiltrative cardiac disorder that may cause fatal consequences if left untreated. The estimated survival time from diagnosis is approximately 3–6 years. Because of the non‐specificity of initial symptom manifestation and insufficient awareness among treating ...

Evaluation of Ankle-Brachial Pressure Index and Carotid Intima Media Thickness by Doppler Ultrasound in type two Diabetics.

مجلة كلية الطب, 2013
Background: Atherosclerosis causes thickening of the artery walls. The intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery (CCA) is widely used as an early indicator of the development of coronary artery disease, atherosclerosis, and independently ...

Rough Set Based Approach for IMT Automatic Estimation [PDF]

, 2012
Carotid artery (CA) intima-media thickness (IMT) is commonly deemed as one of the risk marker for cardiovascular diseases. The automatic estimation of the IMT on ultrasound images is based on the correct identification of the lumen-intima (LI) and media ...

Thromboelastography Maximum Amplitude Is a Valuable Biomarker for Early Atherosclerosis in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients: A Single‐Center Cross‐Sectional Study

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hypercoagulability contributes to atherosclerosis (AS) progression in individuals suffering from rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and thromboelastography (TEG) is a valuable diagnostic tool. This hospital‐based cross‐sectional study assessed the clinical efficacy of TEG parameters in detecting hypercoagulability and subclinical AS by purposively ...
