PDA‐Engineered 3D‐Printed Polymer–ZrO2 Hybrid Scaffolds Enabling Enhanced Radiopacity, Photothermal Therapy, and Cell Migration Modulation

Small, EarlyView.
A multifunctional 3D‐printed polymer–ZrO2 scaffold is developed to provide intrinsic radiopacity, photothermal responsiveness, and surface bioactivity. Reinforcement with ZrO2 enables real‐time x‐ray visibility and mechanical robustness, while a polydopamine coating facilitates near‐infrared‐triggered drug release and modulates cell migration, thereby ...

Influence of surface characteristic on endothelialization

, 2011
Nowadays lactic and glycolic acid polymers and their copolymers have been evaluated as a promising candidate material for cardiovascular stents since degradation products of lactic and glycolic acid polymers and their copolymers by hydrolysis are ...

A Reassessment of Prophylactic Antibiotics in Low‐Infection‐Risk Electrophysiology Procedures

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Certain electrophysiology (EP) procedures are associated with minimal tissue disruption and do not involve permanent transvenous leads. As a result, these interventions carry a lower risk of device‐ or procedure‐related infection. These procedures include placement of implantable cardiac monitors, leadless pacemakers, and left atrial appendage

Probucol inhibits in-stent thrombosis and neointimal hyperplasia by promoting re-endothelialization

, 2006
BACKGROUND: Evidence suggests that delayed re-endothelialization is responsible for in-stent thrombosis. Probucol inhibits neointimal thickening in animals via enhanced re-endothelialization and is the only oral drug that consistently inhibits restenosis

Pathologic Characterization and Clinical Significance of Lymphovascular Invasion in Canine Thyroid Carcinomas

Veterinary and Comparative Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The association between lymphovascular invasion (LVI) and outcomes in dogs with thyroid carcinoma is inadequately described, and a standardized definition of LVI is lacking. This study's objectives were to histopathologically and immunohistochemically characterize LVI and to evaluate associated clinical outcomes in dogs with thyroid carcinoma.

Inhibition of miR-92a improves re-endothelialization and prevents neointima formation following vascular injury

, 2014
AIMS: MicroRNA (miR)-92a is an important regulator of endothelial proliferation and angiogenesis after ischaemia, but the effects of miR-92a on re-endothelialization and neointimal lesion formation after vascular injury remain elusive.

Isolating and optimising transmural endothelialization as an independent mode of spontaneous vascular graft healing [PDF]

, 2014
Includes bibliographical references.Background: Poorly designed animal models with short, non-isolated grafts have led researchers to exclusively investigate transanastomotic endothelialization(TAE), which is known to be limited to the perianastomotic ...

A Novel Patent Foramen Ovale Occluder With Left Clamp Arms

JACC: Basic to Translational Science
Summary: Traditional occluders for the closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) may be associated with some potential risks, including device-related thrombus, induction of arrhythmias, residual shunt, and difficulty in puncturing atrial septum.

Development of bioactive polyurethaneureas to support endothelialization

, 2004
Vascular diseases are responsible for the majority of deaths in the United States. Synthetic materials have been developed for blood vessel substitutes but not suitable for small diameter vascular applications such as coronary artery bypass grafting ...
