Biomarkers of Peripheral Arterial Disease

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2010
Atherosclerotic arterial occlusive disease affecting the lower extremities is also known as peripheral artery disease (PAD). This disorder affects 8 to 12 million individuals in the U.S. and is increasingly prevalent in Europe and Asia. Unfortunately, most patients are not diagnosed and are not optimally treated.

Spontaneous Helical Alignment of Smooth Muscle Cells to Form a Medial Layer for Engineered Microvasculature

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Spontaneous helical alignment of smooth muscle cells is induced within resistance‐vessel‐sized channels patterned within a hydrogel. The extent of the cells’ orientation angle is dependent on the presence and composition of ECM proteins lining the channel wall and cell seeding density.

Interventional Treatment Options for the Prevention of Amputation in Patients With Lower Extremity Wounds From Peripheral Arterial Disease [PDF]

Texas Heart Institute Journal
Background Peripheral arterial disease and related lower extremity wounds are prominent causes of amputation. Revascularization may reduce amputation rates or the amputation margin more distally in patients with peripheral arterial disease who have ...

Ethnicity and peripheral arterial disease [PDF]

European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2003
the prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is relatively well defined for the Caucasian population. Given the susceptibility of Asians and Afro-Caribbeans to coronary heart disease and stroke respectively, and the high prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in both groups, one would expect a high prevalence of peripheral arterial disease.a ...

Hydrogel Microtube Drug Carrier for Catheter‐Based Intravascular Therapy

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This paper proposes hydrogel microtube carriers composed of barium alginate gel, enabling long‐term vascular retention without interrupting blood flow. Intravascular treatments have long been attracting attention for therapeutic efficacy, yet practical delivery methods remained unestablished.

Underutilization of Evidence‐Based Smoking Cessation Support Strategies Despite High Smoking Addiction Burden in Peripheral Artery Disease Specialty Care: Insights from the International PORTRAIT Registry

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
Background Smoking is the most important risk factor for peripheral artery disease (PAD). Smoking cessation is key in PAD management. We aimed to examine smoking rates and smoking cessation interventions offered to patients with PAD consulting a vascular

Neutrophil‐Mimetic MRI Enables Ultra‐Early Detection of Vascular Inflammation After Stroke

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, we developed neutrophil‐mimetic MRI probes that detect ultra‐early neuroinflammation following ischemic stroke by targeting E‐selectin. Within seconds of their injection, these microparticles mimic initial leukocyte adhesion to the activated cerebral endothelium.
