Titanium Dioxide Covalently Immobilized Citric Acid (TiO2‐CA) Nanohybrid Coating of Neurovascular Flow Diverter to Improve Antithrombogenic and Pro‐Endothelialization Properties

Advanced Materials Interfaces, 2023
Braided neurovascular flow diverters (FDs) have revolutionized the treatment of aneurysms. However, dual antiplatelet therapy is mandatory for patients with FDs, which increases the risk of adverse side effects like bleeding complications.

Nanostructured Modifications of Titanium Surfaces Improve Vascular Regenerative Properties of Exosomes Derived from Mesenchymal Stem Cells: Preliminary In Vitro Results

Nanomaterials, 2021
(1) Background: Implantation of metal-based scaffolds is a common procedure for treating several diseases. However, the success of the long-term application is limited by an insufficient endothelialization of the material surface.

Migration of endothelial cells on the surface of anodized Ni-Ti stent strut

Frontiers in Medical Technology, 2023
BackgroundStent is widely regarded as the main treatment for curing cardiovascular diseases such as stenosis. Previous research has revealed that the damage of endothelial cells (EC), i.e., the components of endothelium, during stent implantation, could ...

In vitro biocompatibility testing of polymeric nanofiber scaffolds: fine-tuning for a better prediction of the in vivo behaviour

Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2021
Biomaterial research efforts focus on the development of biomaterials that mimic the natural extracellular environment. In addition, different strategies are applied to render materials for blood-contacting devices nonthrombogenic through surface ...

Endothelial Dysfunction [PDF]

Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2004
Endothelial dysfunction is characterized by a shift of the actions of the endothelium toward reduced vasodilation, a proinflammatory state, and prothrombic properties. It is associated with most forms of cardiovascular disease, such as hypertension, coronary artery disease, chronic heart failure, peripheral artery disease, diabetes, and chronic renal ...

Endothelial metaplasia in the iridocorneal endothelial syndrome

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1997
To test the hypothesis that the aberrant, cytokeratin-expressing cells that replace endothelium in the iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome are of endothelial origin.Corneas from four patients with Chandler's syndrome and three with essential iris atrophy were examined by two-color immunofluorescence for simultaneous expression of cytokeratins and ...

Comparative Evaluation on Impacts of Fibronectin, Heparin–Chitosan, and Albumin Coating of Bacterial Nanocellulose Small-Diameter Vascular Grafts on Endothelialization In Vitro

Nanomaterials, 2021
In this study, we contrast the impacts of surface coating bacterial nanocellulose small-diameter vascular grafts (BNC-SDVGs) with human albumin, fibronectin, or heparin–chitosan upon endothelialization with human saphenous vein endothelial cells (VEC) or

Evaluation of small-diameter silk vascular grafts implanted in dogsCentral MessagePerspective

JTCVS Open, 2021
Objectives: Vascular replacement is one treatment for cardiovascular disease. However, in blood vessels with a diameter less than 6 mm, the existing artificial vascular grafts may be occluded by thrombus formation or intimal hyperplasia.
