Modern Management of Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis: A Meta‐Analysis of CREST‐2, SPACE‐2, and ECST‐2

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Recent randomized trials (CREST‐2, SPACE‐2, and ECST‐2) have compared carotid revascularization (carotid endarterectomy [CEA] or carotid artery stenting [CAS]) plus contemporary medical therapy (CMT) versus CMT alone in asymptomatic carotid stenosis.

Balloon expandable stents for coarctation of the aorta : review of current status and technical considerations [PDF]

, 2003
Balloon expandable stents have been used to manage coarctation of the aorta in selected patients with very encouraging results. After the successful use of the Palmaz stents in these lesions newer stents as well as modifications of the Palmaz stents ...

In-stent restenosis. Acute and long-term outcomes after excimer laser coronary angioplasty

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 1999
OBJETIVE: With the increased use of intracoronary stents, in-stent restenosis has become a clinically significant drawback in invasive cardiology. We retrospectively assessed the short- and long-term outcomes after excimer laser coronary angioplasty of ...

Recycling of NiTi Shape Memory Alloys: Fundamental and Technological Aspects of a Vacuum Induction Melting Processing Route

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The present study investigates recycling of NiTi shape memory alloys via vacuum induction melting. An ingot was synthesized from elemental Ni and Ti and subjected to three subsequent remelting cycles. Remelting increases process durations and impurity levels and adversely affects microstructures and functional properties.

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.

Molecular Dynamics Studies of Shape Memory Polymers: From Bead–Spring Models to Atomistic Simulations

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Coarse‐grained (left) and atomistic (right) models of the shape memory polymer ESTANE ETE 75DT3 are shown schematically. The two representations bridge molecular detail and mesoscopic description. Both models capture shape memory behavior, linking segmental mobility and conformational relaxation of anisotropic chains to macroscopic recovery, and ...
