A study of nanostructured materials toward coronary artery stenting and DNA-based biosensing
… THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Vascular stenting has emerged as a viable method for treating occluded arteries. Unfortunately, implanted stents are subject to re-obstruction triggered by host tissue. A plasma nanocoating (20-30 nm) has been investigated for its ability to improve …

Impact of Percutaneous Transluminal Intervention on Vascular Hypoxia and the Role of Micro-calcifications on Atherosclerotic Plaque Rupture
… precursor of NH appears to be PTI-induced vascular hypoxia, but the reason for this drop in oxygen tension remains unclear. On the other hand, rupture-prone vulnerable plaques are predominantly asymptomatic and remain silent until the fibrous cap ruptures under the action of blood pressure, …
