A Recurrent CNN for Automatic Detection and Classification of Coronary Artery Plaque and Stenosis in Coronary CT Angiography [PDF]
Various types of atherosclerotic plaque and varying grades of stenosis could lead to different management of patients with coronary artery disease. Therefore, it is crucial to detect and classify the type of coronary artery plaque, as well as to detect and determine the degree of coronary artery stenosis.

Hyper Association Graph Matching with Uncertainty Quantification for Coronary Artery Semantic Labeling [PDF]
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the primary causes leading to death worldwide. Accurate extraction of individual arterial branches on invasive coronary angiograms (ICA) is important for stenosis detection and CAD diagnosis. However, deep learning-based models face challenges in generating semantic segmentation for coronary arteries due to the ...

Impaired endogenous fibrinolysis at high shear using a point-of-care test in STEMI is associated with alterations in clot architecture [PDF]
© The Author(s) 2019Impaired endogenous fibrinolysis is an adverse prognostic biomarker in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Abnormally dense in vitro fibrin thrombi have been demonstrated in ACS patients and related to hypofibrinolysis using cumbersome ...

In-silico Analysis of Hemodynamic Indicators in Idealized Stented Coronary Arteries for Varying Stent Indentation [PDF]
In this work, we investigate the effects of stent indentation on hemodynamic indicators in stented coronary arteries. Our aim is to assess in-silico risk factors for in-stent restenosis (ISR) and thrombosis after stent implantation. The proposed model is applied to an idealized artery with Xience V stent for four indentation percentages and three mesh ...

Simultaneous subacute thrombosis of bare metal coronary stents in two different arteries early after clopidogrel cessation [PDF]
Coronary stent thrombosis is a rare event leading to ST segment elevation myocardial infarction and death. Although early thrombosis of drug-eluting and bare metal stents is relatively frequent, simultaneous thrombosis of bare metal coronary stents has ...

Structural constrained virtual histology staining for human coronary imaging using deep learning [PDF]
Histopathological analysis is crucial in artery characterization for coronary artery disease (CAD). However, histology requires an invasive and time-consuming process. In this paper, we propose to generate virtual histology staining using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) images to enable real-time histological visualization.

Construction of Nano-Assembled Microcapsules Embedded with Gold Nanoparticles for use in Novel Drug Delivery Systems [PDF]
Coronary stents have changed the way in which coronary artery diseases are managed. Although bare-metal stents can be traced back to 1994, long term efficacy of these stents has been shattered by ISR (In-Stent restenosis) and late stent thrombosis. Research on finding a solution to these issues has led to the development of DESs (Drug eluting stents ...
