Prosthetic vascular graft infection
Journal of British Surgery, 1992 Abstract The aetiology, diagnosis and management of prosthetic vascular graft infection are reviewed. The importance of contamination at the time of surgery as the crucial aetiological factor is highlighted. Staphylococcus epidermidis is the causative organism in over 50 per cent of cases and the reasons for this are explored.

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) use in limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (lcSSc) is relatively uncommon because of the lower fibrotic burden and the predominance of vascular complications. In vitro observations and clinical data from transplanted patients suggest a protective effect of MMF on endothelial function.

Tạp chí Sức khỏe và Lão hóa (Journal of Health and Aging)Decellularized vascular grafts hold potential for small-diameter vascular reconstruction owing to the ECM integrity maintained and appropriate dimensions. However, the thrombogenicity of tissue-derived grafts represents a notable limitation for clinical

Differential FDG-PET Uptake Patterns in Uninfected and Infected Central Prosthetic Vascular Grafts
, 2015 Objective: 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) scanning has been suggested as a means to detect vascular graft infections. However, little is known about the typical FDG uptake patterns associated with synthetic vascular graft
