Abstract : Intimal hyperplasia is one of the prominent failure mechanisms for arteriovenous fistulas and arteriovenous access grafts. Human tissue-engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) were implanted as arteriovenous grafts in a novel baboon model. Ultrasound was used to monitor flow rates and vascular diameters throughout the study. Intimal hyperplasia in the outflow vein of TEVGs was assessed at ...
Cruciate ligament rupture is one of the most common reasons for hind limb lameness, pain, and subsequent knee arthritis in dogs.

A head-to-head comparison shows that the Retia Argos Monitor accurately tracks changes in CO as the vena cava is clamped and unclamped during liver surgery, while the leading competitor monitor fails. As shown, the Argos Monitor tracks with the reference standard, while the competitor monitor shows increasing CO when the vena cava is clamped and CO is actually decreasing (205 ...
