Vascular mechanical forces and vascular diseases

Journal of Advanced Research
Background: Blood vessels are continuously exposed to mechanical forces, mainly including shear stress, cyclic stretch, and hydrostatic pressure. These forces regulate the functions of endothelial cells (ECs) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs ...

Autophagy in Vascular Disease [PDF]

Circulation Research, 2015
Autophagy is a reparative, life-sustaining process by which cytoplasmic components are sequestered in double-membrane vesicles and degraded on fusion with lysosomal compartments. Growing evidence reveals that basal autophagy is an essential in vivo process mediating proper vascular function.

Crushing of a bridging stent during follow-up of endovascular branched aortic arch repair: A novel mode of failure

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2022
A 68-year-old man developed aneurysmal degeneration of the aortic arch and proximal descending aorta after an open ascending graft for a type A aortic dissection. A three-branched endovascular aortic arch repair was performed with patency of all branches

Steerable sheath for exclusively femoral bilateral extension of previous fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair with iliac branch devices

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2021
We report the treatment of type Ib endoleak after fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair (FEVAR) with iliac branch device (IBD) to allow exclusive transfemoral access without a femoral-to-femoral through-and-through wire.

Assessment of lower limbs edema in healthy workers who are exposed to long-term gravity

Veins and Lymphatics, 2013
The aim of this study is to establish changes in leg volumes in healthy subjects (HS) after prolonged standing and prolonged lying. The study was carried out on two HS groups: the group A (20 subjects) included physicians and nurses who underwent a water

A novel device for non-invasive cerebral perfusion assessment

Veins and Lymphatics, 2015
Currently brain perfusion can be assessed by the means of radio-invasive methods, such as single-photon emission computed tomography and positron emission tomography, or by hightech methods such as magnetic resonance imaging.
