Nanoparticle-coated polymeric microbubbles for revascularization
Nano-sized materials have been widely used in many products, such as painting materials, cosmetics, and drug cargos. Especially in biological applications, nanoparticles work as drug delivery carriers in recent decades due to their features on size and transport properties compared to drug …

Outcome of Ischaemic Foot Ulcers in Patients with Diabetes, with or without Revascularization
… In patients considered not feasible for revascularization (n=602), 38% healed primarily, 12% healed after minor amputation, 17% healed after major amputation, and 33% died unhealed. Comorbidities, the severity of PAD, and the extent of tissue involvement were strongly related to a low …

Transplantation of the Mammalian Pineal Gland: Studies of Survival, Revascularization, Reinnervation and Recovery of Function
<p>The survival, revascularization, reinnervation, and recovery of function of transplanted newborn rat pineal glands were studied following grafting into four different locations in pinealectomized rats. These locations were the third cerebral ventricle, in situ (where the pineal gland is normally …

Comparison of Patient-Reported Angina with Provider Assigned Canadian Cardiovascular Society Angina Class Before and After Revascularization
… system for angina is a critical determinant of revascularization appropriateness. A major limitation of CCS is that it rates patients’ symptoms from the perspective of providers, rather than patients themselves. Accordingly, we sought to evaluate the agreement of physician-assigned CCS class …

Comparison of clinical outcome after revascularization versus conservative treatment in patients with borderline fractional flow reserve measurements
… study is to compare the clinical outcomes of revascularization versus conservative treatment in the borderline FFR measurement lesions. METHODS: We used the FFR-Registry database out of 4 centers in Korea. In 267 patients (mean age 62 ± 10 years, male 69%), 277 lesions (LAD, 213; LCX, 40; RCA, …

Advantages and Limitations of Anesthesia and Sedation Practices Used Among Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients during Endovascular Revascularization Therapy
… to safely and efficiently perform endovascular revascularization procedures among acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients, general anesthesia or sedation is often required. However, anesthesia management during these procedures varies significantly worldwide and the procedural logistics have not …

Adipose stromal cells enhance keratinocyte survival and migration in vitro, and graft revascularization in mouse wound healing model
In the US, more than 1 million burn injuries are reported annually. About 45,000 injuries due to fires and burns result in hospitalization and ten percent of these result in death every year. Advances in burn treatment have led to a reduction in mortality rate over the last decades. Since more …

Renal Blood Oxygen Level Dependent (BOLD) Magnetic Resonance Imaging with an Acute Furosemide Stimulus as a Tool to Evaluate Kidney Physiology in Patients Suspected of Renal Artery Stenosis
… severe renal artery stenosis may benefit from revascularization procedures. Currently, management of renal artery stenosis has proven difficult, as revascularization procedures only result in significant clinical improvement about half of patients that undergo these expensive and somewhat risky …

Microcirculatory and Myocardial Physiology in Ischaemic Left Ventricualr Dysfunction
… was undertaken following percutaneous revascularization, in two distinct cohorts. Firstly, in a group with recent myocardial infarction and secondly in a group undergoing revascularization supported by intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation {IABP) therapy. In a separate group, the …

Risk of Lower Extremity Amputation Revision in Patients with Peripheral Vascular Disease Adjusting for a Competing Risk of Death
… status, history of vascular procedures and revascularization attempts, and procedure urgency were considered. Models to predict LEA revision and reamputation were developed using multivariable regression on the interval-censored competing risks data using semiparametric regression on the …

Dysfunctional but viable myocardium - ischemic heart disease assessed by magnetic resonance imaging and single photon emission computed tomography
… which may improve in function following revascularization. Dysfunctional but viable myocardium is identified by distinct characteristics with regards to function, perfusion and viability. Therefore, in Paper I we developed a method for quantitative polar representation of left ventricular …

The Effects Of Exercise On Capillary Supply To The 'transition Zone' Of Infarcted Rat Hearts
… voluntary exercise (running) also promotes revascularization in the transition zone.;One week following LCA occlusion, rats were allotted into one of four exercise protocols; these differed in the frequency of running and duration of the protocol. Exercise was associated with significant …

Non-Q wave myocardial infarction : Groote Schuur Hospital Coronary Care Unit 1990-1993
… during that hospital admission and revascularization was performed in 29% (52). There were 2 deaths during the initial hospital admission, both after surgical revascularisation. At one year the cardiac mortality was 7%. There were 23 cardiac deaths in all. Early readmission for …

Amputation rate following tibia fractures with associated popliteal artery injuries
… and time delay from injury or presentation to revascularization. Results: The study group consisted of 22 males and 8 females, with a mean age of 31 years. Motor vehicle accidents and gunshot wounds constituted the mechanism in 17 and 11 patients respectively. Twenty-one were polytrauma …

Polymeric materials for neovascularization
Revascularization therapies have emerged as a promising strategy to treat various acute and chronic wounds, cardiovascular diseases, and tissue defects. It is common to either administer proangiogenic growth factors, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), or transplant cells that …

IMPACT OF STRESS CARDIAC COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY MYOCARDIAL PERFUSION ON DOWNSTREAM RESOURCES AND PROGNOSIS IN PATIENTS WITH SUSPECTED OR KNOWN CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE: A MULTICENTRE INTERNATIONAL STUDY - THE CTP-PRO STUDY
… regarding downstream testing, hospitalizations, revascularizations, major adverse cardiac events (MACE) as unstable angina, non-fatal myocardial infarction and cardiovascular death after index test were collected at 1-year follow-up and 2-year follow-up. Patients randomized to Group A at Centro …

Metabolic profile and post-operative outcomes in contemporary patients with peripheral arterial disease and critical limb ischaemia
… present with critical limb ischaemia (CLI). Revascularization aimed at limb salvage, and recovery of ambulation and independent living is the ultimate therapeutic option for the advanced form of PAD (CLI). Traditionally, the success of revascularization for CLI has been defined by graft …

The role of fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF2) in vascular remodeling and adaptation
… models of flow-dependent remodeling and ischemic revascularization were used to compare the responses of Fgf2⁻/⁻ and Fgf2⁺/⁺ mice to directly identify the function of FGF2 during vascular adaptation in the adult animal. Surprisingly, the lack of FGF2 did not appear to affect vascular growth in …
