Vitamin K and vascular calcification [PDF]
Purpose of review Vascular calcification is a common and important cardiovascular risk factor in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Recent advances in the understanding of the biology of vascular calcification implicate vitamin K-dependent ...

Lessons learnt from progressive vascular calcification in a renal transplant recipient
Chronic kidney disease − mineral bone disorder is a common complication in patients with renal failure. Vascular calcification is the part of this clinical syndrome and progresses over the years.

Reactive Oxygen-Forming Nox5 Links Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Phenotypic Switching and Extracellular Vesicle-Mediated Vascular Calcification [PDF]
Rationale: Vascular calcification, the formation of calcium phosphate crystals in the vessel wall, is mediated by vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).

Calcification of Synthetic Vascular Grafts: A Systematic Review
Objective: Calcification of vascular grafts, including polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) grafts may contribute to graft failure, but is under reported.

Genetics of Vascular Calcification [PDF]
### NT5E Mutations and Arterial Calcifications Hilaire et al NEJM. 2011;364:432–442. Recessive mutations in the NTE5 gene were recently described in lower-extremity vascular calcification. ENPP1 mutations were previously described in a severe disorder of vascular calcification in infancy.
