Mid-to-long-term patency comparison of the right internal thoracic artery grafts on the left anterior descending and on the right coronary arteries

open access: yes, 2003
Background: The excellent results obtained from internal thoracic artery for myocardial revascularization have led surgeons to simultaneous use of other arterial conduits, particularly the right internal thoracic artery.

A new approach to investigate wave dissipation in viscoelastic tubes: Application of wave intensity analysis

open access: yes, 2005
Wave dissipation in elastic and viscoelastic medium has been investigated extensively in the frequency domain. The aim of this study is to examine the pattern of wave dissipation in the time-domain using wave intensity analysis.

Spinal Cord Infarction Versus Idiopathic Transverse Myelitis: Clinical, Radiological, and Functional Insights From a Retrospective Cohort Study

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Spinal cord infarction (SCI) is a rare but devastating myelopathy, characterized by a high disability rate and an unfavorable prognosis. It has often been underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed as idiopathic transverse myelitis (ITM). This study aimed to describe the clinical features, radiological biomarkers, treatments, and functional ...

An investigation into stent expansion using numerical and experimental techniques [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Extensive finite element analyses have been carried out by researchers to investigate the difference in the mechanical loading induced in vessels stented with various different stent designs and the influence of this loading on restenosis outcome.

Anomalous branching order of the superior and lateral thoracic arteries

open access: yes, 1997
The superior thoracic and lateral thoracic arteries usually arise from the axillary artery as the first and second branches, respectively. Although anomalies have been described, no reports of a reversal of the order of origin have been found.

Rapamycin impairs endothelial cell function in human internal thoracic arteries. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
BACKGROUND Definitive fate of the coronary endothelium after implantation of a drug-eluting stent remains unclear, but evidence has accumulated that treatment with rapamycin-eluting stents impairs endothelial function in human coronary arteries.

Clinical Validation of Plasma p‐217tau in Neurological Diseases

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Plasma p‐217tau is a minimally invasive but specific biomarker for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, its disease specificity remains to be clinically evaluated. We validated the reliability of the p‐217tau biomarker in 12 other neurological diseases.

Recycling thoracic arteries for redo coronary artery bypass grafting: Long-term follow-up

open access: yes, 2007
Redo coronary artery bypass graft (redo CABG) procedures are a surgical challenge, especially when one or both internal thoracic arteries (ITAs) have been previously harvested. The lack of available ITA grafts at reoperation might jeopardize the long-

Neurovascular Contacts in the Pathophysiology of Neuralgic Amyotrophy: An Observational Study

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Neuralgic amyotrophy (NA) is a prevalent, monophasic, multifocal immune‐mediated neuropathy. A distinctive characteristic of the disease is the occurrence of nerve or fascicle constrictions and torsions (NA‐associated focal nerve lesions, NAFL). The pathophysiology underlying this phenomenon remains to be fully elucidated.
