The contribution of vascular proliferation to the pathophysiology of in-stent restenosis, transplant vasculopathy and vein bypass graft failure is particularly important. Thus, an emerging ...

Angioplasty and stenting are often initially very effective in relieving the blockage, but in 30 to 40 percent of patients, the blockage comes back within the first year or two. This re-blocking of ...

The mean PSVs of in-stent restenosis of 30 to < 50% ... elevated velocities relative to the native nonstented carotid artery. Presently, standard duplex ultrasound velocity criteria have not ...

However, traditional metal stents may cause restenosis—a re-narrowing of the artery—due to excessive smooth muscle cell proliferation one month after implantation. Drug-eluting stents are ...

Fractures and breakages of the helix on the Rotarex system has led to 30 serious injuries, four deaths, and 115 interventions ...

An Introduction to Vascular Biology is a multi-authored text ... such as that dealing with atherosclerosis, restenosis and the contractile mechanisms of smooth muscle. However, the organization ...
