ASCORE: an up-to-date cardiovascular risk score for hypertensive patients reflecting contemporary clinical practice developed using the (ASCOT-BPLA) trial data. [PDF]

, 2013
A number of risk scores already exist to predict cardiovascular (CV) events. However, scores developed with data collected some time ago might not accurately predict the CV risk of contemporary hypertensive patients that benefit from more modern ...

Excessive Ostial Stent Protrusion: Evaluation of Management Strategies and Clinical Outcomes of the Side Flap Technique

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Backgrounds Accurate stent positioning in aorto‐ostial lesions remains challenging due to complex three‐dimensional anatomy, lack of optimal fluoroscopic projections, and high rates of geographic miss. Stent overhang impairs guide catheter re‐engagement and complicates future revascularization.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion polymorphism does not influence the restenosis rate after coronary stent implantation [PDF]

, 2002
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 ...

Successful Management of a Complex Coronary Bifurcation Lesion in Acute Coronary Syndrome Using a Free‐Metal Approach

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We present the case of a 56‐year‐old male with non‐ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and a complex thrombotic lesion at the ostial left circumflex artery (LCX), extending into bifurcating marginal branches. Due to the high risk of side branch occlusion, a stentless strategy using thrombus aspiration, the reverse wire technique, and ...

Platelets and restenosis

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2000
Restenosis is currently the major limitation of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). Factors such as elastic recoil, migration of vascular smooth muscle cells from media to intima, neointimal proliferation and vascular remodeling underly the restenotic process. Presently there is no effective therapy available for restenosis. The role

Examination of the coatings of coronary stents [PDF]

, 2006
In our study the main properties of coated coronary stents are shown, such as foreshortening, recoil, surface features and failures and the expansion properties. The types and the effects of active and passive coatings are introduced.

A New 3-D automated computational method to evaluate in-stent neointimal hyperplasia in in-vivo intravascular optical coherence tomography pullbacks [PDF]

, 2009
. Detection of stent struts imaged in vivo by optical coherence tomography (OCT) after percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) and quantification of in-stent neointimal hyperplasia (NIH) are important.

Acute cardiac inflammatory responses to postischemic reperfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass [PDF]

, 1999
Objectives: The investigation centers on whether there is a reperfusion-induced specific cardiac inflammatory reaction after bypass surgery. Background: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) leads to systemic inflammation.

Subglottic Stenosis After Radioactive Iodine Treatment for Graves' Disease: A Case Report

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Subglottic stenosis (SGS) is a narrowing of the airway below the glottis and may be congenital or acquired. While prolonged intubation is the most common cause of acquired SGS, other etiologies remain incompletely understood. Methods A 37‐year‐old woman presented with a four‐year history of mild progressive stridor, dysphonia, and ...

Design and testing of hydrophobic core/hydrophilic shell nano/micro particles for drug-eluting stent coating [PDF]

, 2018
In this study, we designed a novel drug-eluting coating for vascular implants consisting of a core coating of the anti-proliferative drug docetaxel (DTX) and a shell coating of the platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor monoclonal antibody SZ-21.
