Mesoporous Bioactive Glasses: A Powerful Tool in Tissue Engineering and Drug Delivery

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work is a comprehensive revision of bioactive glasses (BGs), pioneered by Prof. L.L. Hench, which are key in bone repair and regenerative medicine. Sol–gel methods and mesoporous designs enhanced their bioactivity, ions, and drug delivery. BGs now support gene therapy and 3D‐printed scaffolds, enabling personalized, multifunctional treatments in ...

Comparison of Clinical Outcomes Between Second-and First-Generation Drug-Eluting Stents in Patients With Chronic Total Occlusion Lesion: A Meta-Analysis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Background and Objectives: The second-generation drug-eluting stents have been used to treat chronic total occlusion lesion. However, there is limited evidence of the clinical outcomes that whether the second-generation drug-eluting stents is superior to

The Evidence Base for Revascularisation of Chronic Total Occlusions [PDF]

Current Cardiology Reviews, 2014
When patients with ischaemic heart disease are considered for revascularisation the Heart Team's aim is to choose a therapy that will provide complete relief of angina for an acceptable procedural risk. Complete functional revascularisation of ischaemic myocardium is thus the goal and for this reason the presence of a chronic total occlusion (CTO ...

Retrograde coronary interventions of chronic total occlusions [PDF]

BMJ Case Reports, 2005
A 43-year-old man presented with several months of effort angina. Angiography showed a totally occluded mid-portion obstruction of the right coronary artery (RCA) and very good collaterals from the left coronary artery, filling retrogradely the distal RCA (panel A). Multiple trials to cross the mid-RCA through an anterograde approach with various guide
