Maximizing Neurovascular Outcomes of Facial Transplantation: A Comprehensive Review

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Facial transplantation is a division of reconstructive surgery which aims to improve the function and appearance of a face that has endured severe disfigurement. Currently, the face transplant procedure uses allogenic tissue, harvested from a brain‐dead donor, to replace damaged facial components.

Quantifying the risk of heart disease following acute ischaemic stroke: a meta-analysis of over 50 000 participants [PDF]

, 2015
Objective Following an acute stroke, there is a high risk of recurrence. However, the leading cause of mortality following a stroke is due to coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocardial infarction (MI) but that risk has not been robustly quantified.

OCT‐Guided Distal Left Main Bifurcation PCI: Mid‐Term Outcomes From a Multicenter South‐Asian Registry

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Optical coherence tomography (OCT)‐guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) enhances treatment of complex coronary artery lesions, including left main (LM) disease, by enabling lesion morphology assessment and stent optimization, thereby reducing major adverse cardiac events (MACE).

Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke and Elevated Troponin: A TRoponin ELevation in Acute Ischemic Stroke (TRELAS) Sub-Study

Cerebrovascular Diseases Extra, 2019
Background: Elevated high-sensitive cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) can be found in more than 50% of the patients with acute ischemic stroke. The observational TRoponin ELevation in Acute ischemic Stroke (TRELAS) study revealed that about 25% of all stroke ...

Bench Testing Analysis of Perforation Management in the Setting of Bifurcation Coronary Intervention

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Management of coronary perforation in bifurcation lesions with covered stents remains challenging. Aims We aimed to describe a proper practice and toolbox for “jailed‐branch” management after covered stent deployment. Methods Using a bench model, we tested various wires with a 120° angulated microcatheter for their ability to ...
