Aortic Graft Infection: Graphene Shows the Way to an Infection-Resistant Vascular Graft

Frontiers in Surgery, 2017
Aortic graft infection is a potentially lethal complication of open and endovascular repair of aortic aneurysms. Graphene is the only existing two-dimensional material, and its unique structure gives graphene and its derivatives a plethora of original ...

Comparison of Genus Specific PCR and Culture with or without Sonication for Microbiological Diagnosis of Vascular Graft Infection.

European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2018
OBJECTIVES Vascular graft infections (VGIs) are severe and require prolonged adequate antimicrobial therapy. However, up to 45% of conventional cultures are negative. Sonication and genus specific PCRs for microbiological diagnosis of VGI was evaluated.

Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...
