Cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) measured by a new device: protocol for a validation study
BMJ Open, 2020 Introduction Cardio‐ankle vascular index (CAVI) is a new marker of arterial stiffness (AS) that can assess vascular wall stiffness in the aorta, femoral artery and tibial artery. CAVI is less affected by blood pressure at the time of measurement than the

Surgical vs. transcatheter arotic valve replacement in patients over 75 years with aortic stenosis: sociodemographic profile, clinical characteristics, quality of life and functionality [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Background Aortic valve stenosis (AVS) affects 25% of the population over 65 years. At present, there is no curative medical treatment for AVS and therefore the surgical approach, consisting of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) or surgical ...

On the major role played by the curvature of intracranial aneurysms walls in determining their mechanical response, local hemodynamics, and rupture likelihood [PDF]
, 2022 The properties of intracranial aneurysms (IAs) walls are known to be driven by the underlying hemodynamics adjacent to the IA sac. Different pathways exist explaining the connections between hemodynamics and local tissue properties. The emergence of such theories is essential if one wishes to compute the mechanical response of a patient-specific IA ...

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 182-189, January 2023., 2023 Since celiac artery occlusion represents a common attributable aetiology for these aneurysms, restoration of blood flow to the regions supplied by the celiac artery should also be taken into account when designing a treatment plan. Here, we present 4 cases of PDA aneurysms coexisting with coeliac artery occlusion, all of which were managed with bypass ...
