Translational Considerations for Injectable Biomaterials and Bioscaffolds to Repair and Regenerate Brain Tissue

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The repair and regeneration of brain tissue faces both biological and technical challenges. Injectable bioscaffolds offer new opportunities to stimulate tissue regrowth in the brain by recruiting neural stem cells. Here, the translational issues are reviewed that need to be address to advance this promising new therapeutic approach from the bench to ...

The Effects of Catheter Ablation Therapy on Medication Use and Expenditures in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of Health Economics and Outcomes Research, 2014
# Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. Catheter ablation has become an important treatment option for many AF patients.

Epicardial Ablation of Ventricular Tachycardia with Manual Controlled External Irrigation in a Patient with Nonischemic Cardiomyopathy

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2009
We describe a patient with nonischemic cardiomyopathy who underwent radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation for a drug-refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT). RF ablation from a left ventricular (LV) endocardial site failed to eliminate the VT.

Ethanol Infusion of Vein of Marshall for the Treatment of Persistent Atrial Fibrillation: The Basics and Clinical Practice

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2022
Catheter ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation (PeAF) is particularly challenging, as the clinical outcomes are modest. Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) plus linear ablation is one of the main strategies for PeAF ablation.

Extracellular Vesicles Modulation by an Adiponectin Receptor Agonist Provides Cardioprotection for Myocardial Ischemic Injury

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that ALY688, a drug mimicking the heart‐protective hormone adiponectin, reduces myocardial ischemia injury. ALY688 increases the production of extracellular vesicles, which carry protective cargo including adiponectin itself.

Five‐Year Change in the Renal Function After Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019
Background Although it has been reported that renal function can improve after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF), long‐term changes in renal function and its relationship to rhythm outcomes have not yet been evaluated.

Neutrophil‐Mimetic MRI Enables Ultra‐Early Detection of Vascular Inflammation After Stroke

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, we developed neutrophil‐mimetic MRI probes that detect ultra‐early neuroinflammation following ischemic stroke by targeting E‐selectin. Within seconds of their injection, these microparticles mimic initial leukocyte adhesion to the activated cerebral endothelium.

Rapid Fabrication of Self‐Propelled and Steerable Magnetic Microcatheters for Precision Medicine

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A rapid Joule heating fabrication method for the production of self‐propelling, adaptive microcatheters, with tunable stiffness and integrated microfluidic channels is presented. Demonstrated through three microrobotic designs, including a steerable guiding catheter, an untethered wave‐crawling TubeBot, and a distal‐end propelled microcatheter, it was ...
