Abstract In this study, we investigated whether a structured aerobic exercise programme could enhance microRNA‐126 (miR‐126) expression and improve subclinical atherosclerosis markers [carotid intima–media thickness (CIMT) and ankle–brachial index (ABI)] in individuals with prediabetes.

A comparison of balloon injury models of endovascular lesions in rat arteries [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Balloon injury (BI) of the rat carotid artery (CCA) is widely used to study intimal hyperplasia (IH) and decrease in lumen diameter (LD), but CCA's small diameter impedes the evaluation of endovascular therapies.

Clinical Impact of Angiographic Complications Occurring During Percutaneous Coronary Interventions
ABSTRACT Background The clinical impact of different types of angiographic complications during elective PCIs remains largely unexplored. Aims To explore the incidence, management, and outcomes of angiographic complications by type and severity during non‐urgent, non‐CTO PCIs. Methods Clinical and procedural characteristics were prospectively collected

In-Stent Ulceration: An Unusual Pathology
In-stent restenosis occurs in 10–60% of cases undergoing interventional therapy. Many mechanisms explain the reason for in-stent restenosis, but restenosis due to an ulcerated plaque is very rare and has not been well reported in the literature.

Angiogenesis-dependent and independent phases of intimal hyperplasia. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Neointimal vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation is a primary cause of occlusive vascular disease, including atherosclerosis, restenosis after percutaneous interventions, and bypass graft stenosis. Angiogenesis is implicated in the

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Composite lipid indices are closely related to the risk and poor prognosis of diseases. However, there are no studies on the prognostic value of Castelli's risk indices‐I and II (CRI‐I, CRI‐II) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

A polymer coated cicaprost-eluting stent increases neointima formation and impairs vessel function in the rabbit iliac artery [PDF]
Drug-eluting stents have been successful in reducing in-stent restenosis but are not suitable for all lesion types and have been implicated in causing late stent thrombosis due to incomplete regeneration of the endothelial cell layer.

Classification of blood flow regimes: Spatial variation of endothelial shear stress (ESS) patterns across an atherosclerotic lesion. ABSTRACT Accurate geometrical representation of stenosis is essential for stent design, surgical planning, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, as even minor shape variations significantly alter hemodynamic

Carotid Artery Angioplasty for Restenosis Following Endarterectomy [PDF]
The higher complication rate associated with the surgical treatment of restenosis following carotid endarterectomy (CEA) has led several authors to advocate angioplasty as the treatment of choice in the management of restenosis. We describe our experience with internal carotid artery angioplasty for post-endarterectomy restenosis over 7 years.From ...
