Intravascular photoacoustic and optical coherence tomography imaging dual-mode system for detecting spontaneous coronary artery dissection: A feasibility study

Journal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences
In this work, we present an intravascular dual-mode endoscopic system capable of both intravascular photoacoustic imaging (IVPAI) and intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) for recognizing spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD ...

Orchestrating the metastatic symphony: the role of extracellular vesicles in the epithelial–mesenchymal transition and pulmonary niche formation of breast cancer

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The complexity of breast cancer (BC) lung metastasis lies in the capacity of tumour cells to interact efficiently with distant organs to promote colonisation, a process that involves the sophisticated coordination of inherent cellular plasticity and the remodelling of the distant microenvironment.

Intravascular ultrasound in children with congenital heart defects: a case series

Кардиоваскулярная терапия и профилактика
Intravascular imaging methods are an actively developing area that was originally used in the treatment of coronary artery disease. With the help of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), there is an opportunity to more objectively, in contrast to fluoroscopy,

Maximizing Neurovascular Outcomes of Facial Transplantation: A Comprehensive Review

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Facial transplantation is a division of reconstructive surgery which aims to improve the function and appearance of a face that has endured severe disfigurement. Currently, the face transplant procedure uses allogenic tissue, harvested from a brain‐dead donor, to replace damaged facial components.

Clinical Anatomy of the Left and Right Atrial Appendages in Humans: Comparative and Developmental Perspective

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human atrial chambers derive from distinct embryonic anlagens, the original embryonic atria gradually transforming into the so‐called auricles, or atrial appendages. This study quantifies macroscopic variations in pectinate muscle architecture in human atrial appendages and evaluates their visualization using clinical imaging modalities.

Beyond Angiography: Cardiac CT for Planning Complex PCI in Calcified Coronary Lesions

Tomography
Coronary artery calcification, present in 20–30% of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), significantly impairs procedural success. Conventional angiography detects calcification in fewer than half of affected cases, while intravascular imaging ...

Pathophysiologic Consequences of Early Coarctation Stenting in a Longitudinal Porcine Model

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Novel stent technologies offer early intravascular treatment options for coarctation (COA). Mid‐to‐long‐term cardiovascular responses to early COA stent interventions are undefined. Aims We studied a porcine model of COA, with and without early stent implantation with serial dilation to adult aortic diameters, aiming to define ...

Mechanical Thrombus Aspiration for a Young STEMI Patient With Plaque Erosion: Time for a Stent‐Free Approach?

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A 34‐year‐old man with no cardiovascular history presented with anterior ST‐elevation myocardial infarction and a large thrombotic occlusion of the mid left anterior descending artery. Following potent antithrombotic therapy and mechanical thrombus aspiration, angiography revealed vessel patency without residual significant stenosis, allowing ...

Preclinical Serial Assessment of Virtual Physiology After Implantation of a Novel Endoluminal Resorbable Fibrillated Scaffold

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The resorbable fibrillated scaffold (RFS) is a novel electrospun, polylactide‐based endoluminal scaffold developed for peripheral arterial applications. Its porous microfibre architecture is intended to support host cell infiltration and vascular restoration.
