Potentiation of thrombus instability: a contributory mechanism to the effectiveness of antithrombotic medications [PDF]
© The Author(s) 2018The stability of an arterial thrombus, determined by its structure and ability to resist endogenous fibrinolysis, is a major determinant of the extent of infarction that results from coronary or cerebrovascular thrombosis.

Natriuretic peptide receptor-C is up-regulated in the intima of advanced carotid artery atherosclerosis [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Natriuretic peptide receptor-C (NPR-C/NPR-3) is a cell surface protein involved in vascular remodelling that is up-regulated in atherosclerosis. NPR-C expression has not been well characterized in human carotid artery occlusive lesions.

Role of food and nutrition and prevention in pathogenesis of the arterial occlusive disease
Admission Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of complex etiopathogenesis. Improper diet, genetic predisposition, lack of physical activity, and smoking are just a few of the major factors contributing to the development of ...

Midterm results of endovascular treatment of iliac artery lesions: analysis of 59 cases
BACKGROUND: Endovascular treatment of peripheral arterial occlusive disease has become increasingly frequent in the past few years. Because it is a less invasive procedure, lower morbidity and mortality rates are associated with this form of treatment.

Buflomedil for intermittent claudication [PDF]
Background : Intermittent claudication (IC) is pain caused by chronic occlusive arterial disease, that develops in a limb during exercise and is relieved with rest. Buflomedil is a vasoactive agent used to treat peripheral vascular disease.

Cerebral perfusion MR imaging using FAIR-HASTE in chronic carotid occlusive disease: comparison with dynamic susceptibility contrast-perfusion MR imaging. [PDF]
To determine the efficacy of flow-sensitive alternating inversion recovery using half-Fourier single-shot turbo spin-echo (FAIR-HASTE) in detecting cerebral hypoperfusion in chronic carotid occlusive disease, we subjected 12 patients with various degrees

Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease: Two children with gradual disease progression
Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease and pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis are rare forms of pulmonary vascular disease. We report two cases of affected children who had evidence of pulmonary hypertension 3–5 years before developing radiographic findings ...
