Background: This paper describes a challenging case of implantation of the EluNIR™ Ridaforolimus eluting elastomeric stent (Medinol Ltd.). This complex case involved a patient with a flow-limiting lesion in a native coronary artery post bypass surgery. The new EluNIR stent system includes a stent with a low metal footprint that comprises struts of variable width: ultra-narrow struts ...

Background This paper outlines the first in-patient implantation of the EluNIR™ ridaforolimus eluting elastomeric stent (Medinol Ltd.). This complex case involved a patient with a flow-limiting lesion in a native coronary artery post bypass surgery. The new EluNIR stent system includes a stent with a low metal footprint which comprises struts of variable width: ultra-narrow struts having ...

In the setting of extremity trauma this most commonly involves interposition graft replacement of the injured artery. Studies from the military trauma system and the Combat Casualty Care Research program show that saphenous vein is an effective conduit in this setting with good patency rates and tissue incorporation, although thrombosis and infection occur in 10% ...
Background: Synthetic expanded polytetrafluorethylene (ePTFE) grafts are routinely used for vascular repair and reconstruction but prone to sustained bacterial infections. ...
To create the BVP, islets are seeded as an outer coating on the surface of an acellular vascular graft, using fibrin as a hydrogel carrier. The BVP can then be anastomosed as an arterial (or arteriovenous) graft, which allows fully oxygenated arterial blood with a pO2 of roughly 100 mmHg to flow through the graft ...
ABSTRACT Infection of prosthetic vascular grafts can manifest as pain, pseudoaneurysms, or arterial insufficiency in the leg. ...
The LimFlow procedure can be summarized into the following steps: arterial access in the common femoral artery, venous access in the lateral plantar vein, artery-to-vein crossing, valvulotomy, extension stent graft deployment, and crossing stent graft deployment. ...
Your three main coronary arteries are responsible for bringing blood to the heart. When they start to become blocked, it can weaken the heart and eventually lead to a heart attack if the blockage isn't addressed and there isn't enough blood supply to the heart. On the left side of the heart, there are two coronary arteries responsible for providing rich blood supply to the heart to ensure it ...
Annotations Preoperative serum Gal-3 was measured in 1498 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery and/or valve. Patients in the highest third of Gal-3 levels had 2.95-greater odds of developing KDIGO Stage 2 or 3 (p < 0.001) and 1.71-increased odds of developing KDIGO Stage 1 (p = 0.001), compared to the lowest third. ...
Tissue engineering small diameter vascular grafts requires excessive culture times to produce an appropriate extracellular matrix (ECM). ...
