Applying Principles of Regenerative Medicine to Vascular Stent Development
Stents are a widely-used device to treat a variety of cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of this review is to explore the application of regenerative medicine principles into current and future stent designs.

A polymer coated cicaprost-eluting stent increases neointima formation and impairs vessel function in the rabbit iliac artery [PDF]
Drug-eluting stents have been successful in reducing in-stent restenosis but are not suitable for all lesion types and have been implicated in causing late stent thrombosis due to incomplete regeneration of the endothelial cell layer.

Simulation of a mechanical thrombectomy device based in the use of self-expandable stents for the blood clots extraction [PDF]
Recently, we have presented some studies concerning the analysis, design and optimization of one experimental device developed in the UK - GPTAD - which has been designed to remove blood clots without the need to make contact with the clot itself ...

Inhibition of in-stent stenosis by oral administration of bindarit in porcine coronary arteries [PDF]
<p><b>Objective:</b> We have previously demonstrated that bindarit, a selective inhibitor of monocyte chemotactic proteins (MCPs), is effective in reducing neointimal formation in rodent models of vascular injury by reducing smooth ...

In-stent chronic coronary occlusion. Efficiency of revascularization and recanalization technique [PDF]
The formation of neointimal hyperplasia after stent implantation and the occurrence of in-stent chronic coronary occlusion is considered a gradual process with possible formation of stable angina pectoris. Materials and methods.

Mixed formulation of the one-dimensional equilibrium model for elastic stents [PDF]
In this paper we formulate and analyze the mixed formulation of the one-dimensional equilibrium model of elastic stents. The model is based on the curved rod model for the inextensible and ushearable struts and is formulated in the weak form in \v{C}ani\'

Calcified in-stent restenosis in a venous stent [PDF]
Stenting of the iliac veins has been an established treatment for improving venous runoff from the legs after thrombolysis of iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis for more than a decade, yet little is known about the long-term fate of stents in the central veins. We describe a case of heavily calcified in-stent restenosis in a 10-year-old venous stent as

Renovascular Hypertension [PDF]
A 69-year-old women smoker was referred to the nephrology clinic for assessment of hypertension and declining kidney function. At the time of referral, serum creatinine was 241 μmol/L and office blood pressure was 191/100 mm Hg. Her general practitioner had already performed 24-hour ambulatory monitoring and found no evidence of a white coat component ...
