Angiogenesis and Pericytes in the Initiation of Ectopic Calcification [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation Research, 2005
Ectopic calcification of blood vessels, heart valves, and skeletal muscle is a major clinical problem. There is now good evidence that angiogenesis is associated with ectopic calcification in these tissues and that it is necessary, but not sufficient, for calcification to occur. Angiogenesis may regulate ectopic calcification in several ways.

An unusual ectopic calcification in the aorta

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2004
A 49-year-old woman with end-stage renal failure who had been maintained on chronic hemodialysis since she was 40 was referred to our hospital for surgical treatment of mitral regurgitation. She had no history of infectious endocarditis. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) performed at the referring hospital showed severe mitral regurgitation with ...

Role of carbonic anhydrase II in ectopic calcification [PDF]

open access: yesCardiovascular Pathology, 2009
Osteopontin (OPN) is a potent inhibitor of ectopic calcification. Previous studies suggested that, in addition to blocking apatite crystal growth, OPN promoted regression of ectopic calcification by inducing the expression of acid-generating carbonic anhydrase II (CAR2) in monocyte-derived cells.To test this hypothesis, OPN and CAR2 expression and ...

Ectopic Calcification of Fibrin Sheath on the Catheter

Blood Purification, 2019
We describe a case of hemodialysis catheter that appeared to be encased in a sleeve-shaped fibrous sheath with calcification. Ectopic calcification is a serious complication in hemodialysis patients with calcium-phosphorus metabolism disorder. Clinical awareness and understanding of this condition is imperative to the prevention and management of ...

Ectopic Calcification as Abnormal Biomineralization

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, 2006
Abstract:  Vascular calcification is observed frequently in hemodialysis patients. The guidelines for kidney disease outcomes quality initiative recommend a strict control of serum calcium and phosphorus concentrations. Calcium–phosphorus product in extracellular fluids is almost at an oversaturation level in dialysis patients and in healthy ...
