Pathogen burden, inflammation, proliferation and apoptosis in human in-stent restenosis - Tissue characteristics compared to primary atherosclerosis [PDF]
Pathogenic events leading to in-stent restenosis (ISR) are still incompletely understood. Among others, inflammation, immune reactions, deregulated cell death and growth have been suggested. Therefore, atherectomy probes from 21 patients with symptomatic

Carotid stenting for atherothrombosis [PDF]
Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) is the third leading cause of death in North America and Europe, accounting for approximately 10-12% of all deaths.w1 CVA may have several aetiologies but is generally characterised as being either thrombotic or haemorrhagic in origin.

Transradial stenting of a carotid pseudoaneurysm [PDF]
Carotid pseudoaneurysms are rare and, if treated endovascularly, are usually approached via the femoral artery. We report the case of transradial stenting of an anastomotic carotid pseudoaneurysm secondary to vertebral transposition through an existing carotid-subclavian bypass.
