Vascular access The physician will identify an appropriate blood vessel for access, typically the radial or femoral artery. Catheter insertion A catheter will be inserted into the selected blood vessel, positioning the catheter tip at the cerebral vessel intended for examination. ...
The evaluation of cardiovascular toxicity is a significant challenge in drug development. Preclinical evaluation of cardiovascular safety involves a multifaceted approach, encompassing a plethora of in vitro and in vivo endpoints. These assessments continuously evolve, aiming to mitigate the incidence of cardiovascular toxicity that may emerge during clinical trials. To shed light on the ...
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 ...

With regard to exercise performance, Knight et al. (1993) used a combination of femoral arterial and venous measurements of blood flow to show that HBO2 treatment could increase the VO2max of the exercising leg, and three other studies showed that hyperoxic conditions can enhance performance (Cunningham, 1966; Ekblom et al., 1975; Wilson and Welch, 1975). ...
Incomplete stent expansion and malapposed stent struts are a predictor of subacute and late stent thrombosis. Appropriate lesion preparation prior to stent implantation is necessary to assure complete stent expansion and stent strut apposition. This is of particular importance in challenging lesions, in particular those with calcific plaque. The goal of the pre-dilatation is to obtain optimal ...

Manufactured vessels were implanted in 20 patients with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease as above-knee, femoral-to-popliteal arterial bypass conduits. After HAV implantation, all patients were assessed for safety, HAV durability, freedom from conduit infection, and bypass patency for 2 years Results: Twenty HAVs were placed in the ...
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% to 20% of cases. ...
The patient’s medical history was significant for external iliac artery endofibrosis that had been bypassed 4 years previously at an outside hospital using an 8-mm Dacron interposition graft from the proximal external iliac artery to the common femoral artery.5-7 The bypass was complicated by stenosis at the inguinal ...
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. ...
Their hope is to ultimately make the well-known ‘stent,’ currently used to maintain diseased arteries and veins open, obsolete. Stents can sometimes trigger an inflammatory response leading to more build-up in the artery that blocks flow, compromising their lasting impact. ...
Methods: A complex penetrating femoral artery groin injury was made using a 5.5mm vascular punch followed by 45 seconds of uncontrolled hemorrhage in 15 swine. ...
