Intentional Stent Fracture to Accommodate Growth After Coarctation Stenting in an 860‐g Neonate

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Congenital aortic coarctation in neonates and children can be managed with transcatheter stent implantation, but this approach raises the issue of how to accommodate the fixed stent structure within the growing vessel. Case Summary A 15‐month‐old boy, born prematurely with critical aortic coarctation, was treated at 1 week of age ...

Percutaneous Management of Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction in an Adult Patient After Atrial Switch: A Case for Targeted Infundibular Ablation

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alcohol septal ablation is a well‐established treatment method for patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. We present a case report of a patient with transposition of the great arteries (TGA) after a Mustard procedure, who developed significant right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO), functionally resembling subaortic stenosis ...

Safety and efficacy of enoxaparin versus unfractionated heparins in conservatively managed patients with acute coronary syndrome: a systematic review

Journal of Pharmacy Practice and Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Guidelines recommend initial anticoagulant management of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) such as enoxaparin or unfractionated heparin (UFH). Systematic reviews evaluate early trials in the context of multiple other medications or during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) only.

Management of Subglottic Stenosis With the “Maddern Procedure”: Long Term Follow‐Up Outcomes

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The Maddern procedure is an effective and durable option for patients with idiopathic subglottic stenosis. Five‐year recurrence‐free rate is 83%, and the mMRC dyspnea scale improves from 2.7 (SD 0.73) to 0.52 (SD 0.85). ABSTRACT Objective Full‐thickness resection and skin grafting of the laryngotracheal junction, the “Maddern Procedure,” can be used to

Inflammatory Markers Stratify Surgical Outcomes in Pediatric Airway Reconstruction

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) predicts surgical success in adult patients undergoing open airway reconstruction for laryngotracheal stenosis, but similar biomarkers in pediatrics remain unidentified. This study identifies predictors of outcomes in pediatric patients undergoing triple endoscopy or surgical airway ...

Mono‐ and Bivalent Poly(iso‐butylene)‐Alanines for Drug‐Delivery of Nimodipine and Triamcinolone Acetonide

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Mono‐ and bivalent‐, alanine‐modified poly‐iso‐butylenes, folding into beta‐sheets, were prepared by living carbocationic polymerization and subsequent endgroup modification. These PIB‐conjugates are useful as solid polymers for the drug release of triamcinolone and nimodipine. ABSTRACT Poly‐iso‐butylene (PIB) is a well known biocompatible polymer with

RF‐Shielding of Laser‐Cut Venous Stents: Calculations, Simulations, and Experiments

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To develop an analytical model of the RF‐shielding of laser‐cut venous stents for different orientations and stent geometries. Methods Laser‐cut venous stents are modeled as a grid composed of circular and rectangular loops. As these loops are orthogonal they shield different components of the transmit RF field.

Detecting Restenosis after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Using Exercise-Stress Electrocardiogram Findings Including QT Dispersion

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2006
Despite the advent of drug-eluting stents in Japan, bare metal stents or conventional balloon angioplasty are still indicated in some patients needing elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and in patients with acute coronary syndrome if these

The Challenges of Vascular Implants: Regulatory Strategies and Biological Responses

Small Science, EarlyView.
Implantable vascular devices are revolutionizing the management of cardiovascular diseases, such as heart failure, by enabling real‐time monitoring and individualized therapy. However, their potential is challenged by regulatory constraints and biological barriers, as device implantation into a vessel can trigger inflammation, thrombosis, and long‐term
