Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in patients with peripheral arterial disease does not affect circulating monocyte subpopulations [PDF]
Monocytes are mononuclear cells characterized by distinct morphology and expression of CD14 and CD16 surface receptors. Classical, quiescent monocytes are positive for CD14 (lipopolysaccharide receptor) but do not express Fc gamma receptor III (CD16 ...

A randomized trial of deferred stenting versus immediate stenting to prevent no- or slow-reflow in acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (DEFER-STEMI) [PDF]
Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess whether deferred stenting might reduce no-reflow and salvage myocardium in primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Background: No-reflow

Percutaneous coronary angioplasty in elderly patients: Assessment of in-hospital outcomes [PDF]
Background: We aimed to assess in-hospital outcomes of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in elderly subjects. Methods: A total of 1000 consecutive patients, who had all been admitted for interventional treatment of symptomatic ...

Deoxyribonucleic acid damage in human lymphocytes after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty [PDF]
ObjectivesWe investigated the presence of oxidative deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage in the peripheral lymphocytes of patients undergoing percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) by using the micronucleus test and comet assay, which are ...

Patient-Specific 3D Volumetric Reconstruction of Bioresorbable Stents: A Method to Generate 3D Geometries for Computational Analysis of Coronaries Treated with Bioresorbable Stents [PDF]
As experts continue to debate the optimal surgery practice for coronary disease - percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary aortic bypass graft (CABG) - computational tools may provide a quantitative assessment of each option. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been used to assess the interplay between hemodynamics and stent struts; it ...

Comparative long-term effects of coronary artery bypass graft surgery and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty on regional coronary flow reserve. [PDF]
peer reviewedTo evaluate the relative long-term improvement in coronary artery hemodynamics after revascularization by coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), regional coronary flow reserve ...

Angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion polymorphism does not influence the restenosis rate after coronary stent implantation [PDF]
Background. Experimental studies have shown an activation of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) system as a response to endothelial injury. Recent publications have elucidated the hypothesis that the ACE gene polymorphism may influence the level of ...
