Relation of Perivascular Adipose Tissues on Computed Tomography to Coronary Vasospasm

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine
Background: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) can be used to quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate the characteristics of perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT), including PVAT volume and perivascular fat attenuation index

Coronary Vessel Development [PDF]

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2003
Development of the coronary vascular system is an interesting model in developmental biology with major implications for the clinical setting. Although coronary vessel development is a form of vasculogenesis followed by angiogenesis, this system uses several unique developmental processes not observed in the formation of other blood vessels.

Metal Nanoclusters for Cancer Imaging and Treatment

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review aims to provide a comprehensive summary and discussion of the core–shell design capabilities of metal nanoclusters (NCs) at the atomic level for cancer imaging and treatment. It offers essential insights into the design principles of metal NCs while also encouraging the exploration of other nanomaterials and their potential theranostic ...

Feasibility of Quantitative Flow Ratio Virtual Stenting for Guidance of Serial Coronary Lesions Intervention

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022
Background Coronary physiology measurement in serial coronary lesions with multiple stenoses is challenging. Therefore, we evaluated the feasibility of Murray fractal law‐based quantitative flow ratio (μQFR) virtual stenting for guidance of serial ...

Automated quantification and evaluation of motion artifact on coronary CT angiography images [PDF]

, 2018
Purpose This study developed and validated a Motion Artifact Quantification algorithm to automatically quantify the severity of motion artifacts on coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) images. The algorithm was then used to develop a Motion IQ

Coronary Artery Centerline Extraction in Cardiac CT Angiography Using a CNN-Based Orientation Classifier

, 2018
Coronary artery centerline extraction in cardiac CT angiography (CCTA) images is a prerequisite for evaluation of stenoses and atherosclerotic plaque. We propose an algorithm that extracts coronary artery centerlines in CCTA using a convolutional neural ...

Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...

Multi-vessel coronary disease and percutaneous coronary intervention [PDF]

Heart, 2004
The goal of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is to provide a safe, effective, less invasive alternative to coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). When introduced by Andreas Gruentzig 25 years ago, he envisioned the procedure to be a technique that would delay the need for CABG until severe multi-vessel coronary disease was present.
