Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Coronary artery disease (CAD) with severe calcification remains a growing challenge in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Atherectomy (ATH) has long been used for plaque modification, whereas intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) has emerged as a promising alternative. Large‐scale comparative data on long‐term outcomes are limited.

Flexible delivery of Er:YAG radiation at 2.94 µm with negative curvature silica glass fibers:a new solution for minimally invasive surgical procedures [PDF]
, 2012 We present the delivery of high energy microsecond pulses through a hollow-core negative-curvature fiber at 2.94 µm. The energy densities delivered far exceed those required for biological tissue manipulation and are of the order of 2300 J/cm(2).

Vascular Calcification: Mechanisms, Models, and Therapies
iNew Medicine, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Vascular calcification represents an active multifactorial process that mirrors several key features of skeletal bone mineralization. Clinically, it is characterized by diminished arterial compliance and increased arterial wall stiffness, both of which serve as independent predictors of significant adverse cardiovascular events.

Gastrointestinal obstruction secondary to chronic obstructive nephrolithiasis: A case report
UroPrecision, EarlyView.Abstract Background Nephrolithiasis is a common urologic condition, with increasing prevalence in the United States. This can often present with flank pain and hematuria; however, sequelae such as hydroureteronephrosis, forniceal rupture, and pyelonephritis can lead to more severe complications.
