Human-sized Magnetic Particle Imaging for Brain Applications [PDF]
, 2018 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.

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is associated with increased cardiovascular risk, but its influence on plaque characteristics at optical coherence tomography (OCT) evaluation is not fully understood. Aims This study seeks to explore the impact of Lp(a) levels on plaque morphology as assessed by OCT in a very high‐risk subset of patients ...

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background There have been no prior reports of detailed evaluations using intravascular imaging during Jetstream treatment. Aims This study, therefore, aimed to investigate the effects of calcification characteristics and wire bias on lumen gain in Jetstream atherectomy using optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI). Methods This study enrolled

Effects of an alpha-4 integrin inhibitor on restenosis in a new porcine model combining endothelial denudation and stent placement. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Restenosis remains the main complication of balloon angioplasty and/or stent implantation. Preclinical testing of new pharmacologic agents preventing restenosis largely rely on porcine models, where restenosis is assessed after endothelial abrasion of ...

Independent and joint effects of antibodies to human heat-shock protein 60 and Chlamydia pneumoniae infection in the development of coronary atherosclerosis [PDF]
, 2001 Background—Studies have suggested that the prevalence of antibodies against heat-shock proteins (HSPs), Chlamydia pneumoniae (Cpn), and cytomegalovirus (CMV) is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD), but the independent or joint effects of ...

Incidence and 1‐Year Prognostic of Unstable Angina After High‐Sensitivity Troponin Assessment
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Incidence and prognostic of unstable angina after high‐sensitivity troponin assesment is controversial. Aims This study evaluated prognostic of a contemporary population of patients with UA defined using high sensitive T troponin (T hs‐cTn) measurements and with significant coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods Consecutive patients

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a well‐known risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, including coronary artery diseases (CAD). Complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) such as PCI for bifurcation lesions often yields poor outcomes, especially in DM patients.

Angiogenesis-dependent and independent phases of intimal hyperplasia. [PDF]
, 2004 BACKGROUND: Neointimal vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation is a primary cause of occlusive vascular disease, including atherosclerosis, restenosis after percutaneous interventions, and bypass graft stenosis. Angiogenesis is implicated in the
