Partial CFD models of cardiovascular stents [PDF]
Copyright @ 2002 Wiley BlackwellThis paper outlines the use of a partial CFD stent model in order to improve discretisation of important small features. The effects of mesh size on the performance measure are investigated.

ABSTRACT Background Cost‐utility analyses of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) provide valuable insights into the economic value of these procedures. However, data is lacking, particularly in developing countries with limited resources. Aims This analysis aimed to compare the cost‐utility of different treatment modalities used for PCI patients

Examination of the coatings of coronary stents [PDF]
In our study the main properties of coated coronary stents are shown, such as foreshortening, recoil, surface features and failures and the expansion properties. The types and the effects of active and passive coatings are introduced.

ASCORE: an up-to-date cardiovascular risk score for hypertensive patients reflecting contemporary clinical practice developed using the (ASCOT-BPLA) trial data. [PDF]
A number of risk scores already exist to predict cardiovascular (CV) events. However, scores developed with data collected some time ago might not accurately predict the CV risk of contemporary hypertensive patients that benefit from more modern ...

ABSTRACT Spontaneous recanalized coronary thrombus (SRCT) has been identified in autopsy studies as multiple interconnected channels separated by thin septa. Despite its potential clinical significance, SRCT remains underdiagnosed. Recent advances in intracoronary imaging, including optical coherence tomography (OCT), have elucidated its ...

ABSTRACT Background Drug‐coated balloon (DCB) treatment has shown outcomes comparable to drug‐eluting stent (DES) in small vessel coronary disease. However, evidence for its application in large vessel coronary artery disease (CAD) remains limited. Aims This study evaluated the clinical impact of DCB‐based percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in ...

ABSTRACT Background Hydrodynamic contrast recanalization (HDR) is a novel technique to facilitate wire crossing during chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). The mechanisms underlying HDR have not been fully described.

Stent restenosis, especially the diffuse pattern, has developed into a significant clinical and economical problem. It has been estimated that up to 250,000 patients developed in‐stent restenosis in 2,000 alone, two thirds of them can be expected to have diffuse in‐stent restenosis, which is difficult to treat because of high recurrence rates.

The optimal treatment of multivessel coronary artery disease [PDF]
The practice of percutaneous coronary intervention has overtaken coronary bypass surgery in the treatment of ischaemic heart disease. Several randomized controlled as well as registry and observational trials have addressed the issue of patient selection

Flow-volume curve analysis for predicting recurrence after endoscopic dilation of airway stenosis [PDF]
The flow-volume curve is a simple test for diagnosing upper airway obstruction. We evaluated its use to predict recurrence in patients undergoing endoscopic dilation for treatment of benign upper airway ...
