The performance of cross-linked acellular arterial scaffolds as vascular grafts; pre-clinical testing in direct and isolation loop circulatory models
There is a significant need for small diameter vascular grafts to be used in peripheral vascular surgery; however autologous grafts are not always available, synthetic grafts perform poorly and allografts and xenografts degenerate, dilate and calcify after implantation. We hypothesized that …

Development of in vivo Raman spectroscopy of atherosclerosis
Cardiovascular disease is the primary cause of mortality in developed nations. Current diagnostic techniques are not able to provide the information that is related to the majority of associated complications. Raman spectroscopy, which is capable of providing a detailed chemical analysis of …

Assessment of capacity for vascular disease care in Argentina following consensus recommendations.
Background: Cardiovascular disease is the first cause of death in Argentina, accounting for more than 30% of deaths. Despite this significant healthcare burden, capacity assessment for vascular care has not been previously carried out in Argentina. The aim of this study was to perform an assessment …
