Artificial intelligence‐assisted design, synthesis and analysis of smart biomaterials
BMEMat, EarlyView.Smart biomaterials are rapidly emerging as tools for tissue engineering, and artificial intelligence has played essential roles in biomaterial studies. By bridging the literature gap in AI‐based design, synthesis and analysis of smart biomaterials, the current review shares perspectives on how biomaterial scientists can practically incorporate AI for ...

Everolimus-eluting stents in interventional cardiology
Vascular Health and Risk Management, 2012 Jacob C Townsend, Phillip Rideout, Daniel H SteinbergDivision of Cardiology, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, SC, USAAbstract: Bare metal stents have a proven safety record, but limited long-term efficacy due to in-stent restenosis ...

Finite element modelling of in-stent restenosis [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 From the perspective of coronary heart disease, the development of stents has come significantly far in reducing the associated mortality rate, drug-eluting stents being the epitome of innovative and effective solutions. Within this work, the intricate process of in-stent restenosis is modelled considering one of the significant growth factors and its ...

Drug eluting coronary stents [PDF]
BMJ, 2002 Percutaneous coronary revascularisation has revolutionised the treatment of ischaemic heart disease during the past two decades. Despite technical refinements, however, long term results after using standard techniques remain limited by the phenomenon of restenosis—a process whereby elastic recoil and neointimal hyperplasia occur at the site of ...

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is associated with increased cardiovascular risk, but its influence on plaque characteristics at optical coherence tomography (OCT) evaluation is not fully understood. Aims This study seeks to explore the impact of Lp(a) levels on plaque morphology as assessed by OCT in a very high‐risk subset of patients ...

The Drug-Eluting Stent Saga [PDF]
Circulation, 2009 Drug-eluting stents (DES) represent a breakthrough technology owing to their potent reduction of restenosis, which is a nuisance in the quality of life of affected patients, a rare cause of myocardial infarction (MI), and the principal shortcoming of stents compared with coronary artery bypass surgery.

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Chronic coronary total occlusions (CTO) represent a therapeutic challenge, and results of randomized clinical trials and observational studies comparing conservative treatment versus percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are underpowered.

Machine learning and reduced order modelling for the simulation of braided stent deployment [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Endoluminal reconstruction using flow diverters represents a novel paradigm for the minimally invasive treatment of intracranial aneurysms. The configuration assumed by these very dense braided stents once deployed within the parent vessel is not easily predictable and medical volumetric images alone may be insufficient to plan the treatment ...

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a well‐known risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, including coronary artery diseases (CAD). Complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) such as PCI for bifurcation lesions often yields poor outcomes, especially in DM patients.
