Anatomical and Technical Factors Influence the Rate of In-Stent Restenosis following Carotid Artery Stenting for the Treatment of Post-Carotid Endarterectomy Stenosis. [PDF]
Carotid artery stenting (CAS) has been advocated as an alternative to redo surgery for the treatment of post-carotid endarterectomy (CEA) stenosis. This study analyzed the efficacy of CAS for post-CEA restenosis, focusing on an analysis of technical and ...

Rounded notch method of femoral endarterectomy offers mechanical advantages in finite element models [PDF]
Objective: Use of a vascular punch to produce circular heel and toe arteriotomies for femoral endarterectomy with patch angioplasty is a novel technique. This study investigated the plausibility of this approach and the mechanical advantages of the technique using finite element models.

ABSTRACT Background Coronary calcification is a well‐known marker of atherosclerotic plaque burden and a determinant of stent under expansion with unfavorable long‐term outcomes. Aims This sub study of the randomized BIOVASC trial aimed to compare immediate complete revascularization (ICR) and staged complete revascularization (SCR) in patients with ...

The candy wrapper problem -- a temporal multiscale approach for pde/pde systems [PDF]
We describe a temporal multiscale approach for the simulation of long-term processes with short-term influences involving partial differential equations. The specific problem under consideration is a growth process in blood vessels. The \emph{Candy Wrapper Process} describes a restenosis in a vessel that has previously be widened by inserting a stent ...

Enhanced Drug Effect With Cutting Balloon Followed by Drug Coated Balloon in a Rabbit Model
ABSTRACT Background Drug‐coated balloon (DCB) are effective treatment options for patients with coronary artery disease and using of scoring or cutting balloon before the DCB usage were recommended. However, the effectiveness of lesion preparation with cutting balloons (CB) followed by DCB (CB + DCB) has not been evaluated before.

Human-sized Magnetic Particle Imaging for Brain Applications [PDF]
Determining the brain perfusion is an important task for the diagnosis and treatment of vascular diseases such as occlusions and intracerebral haemorrhage. Even after successful diagnosis and treatment, there is a high risk of restenosis or rebleeding such that patients need intense and frequent attention in the days after treatment.
