Imaging In-Stent Restenosis: An Inexpensive, Reliable, and Rapid Preclinical Model
Published on: September 14, 2009
Abstract:
One of the probable causes of restenosis occurrence in the stent was analyzed. Experience of surgical treatment of 59 patients with an acute vascular trauma, of the complex cutaneous flaps transplantation and of interventions on lymphovenous system was summarized. There were also conducted experimental investigations in 64 rats and in 54 rabbits, histological preparations of the vessels wall were studied. There was proved that restenosis in the stent may occur due to atrophy of muscular layer of artery, migration and subsequent proliferation of the smooth muscle cells in neointyma after sclerosis of adventitia. It is necessary to use for the stents manufacturing an expansible-dynamical constructions, which promote an active functioning of muscular layer of arterial wall without causing its atrophy.

Ischemic Heart Disease: Overview
Atherosclerosis, the primary malefactor, orchestrates this dangerous condition. It manifests as the accumulation of fatty deposits, akin to insidious plaques, within arterial walls. As time elapses, these plaques metamorphose, hardening and narrowing...

Etiology
The primary cause of esophageal strictures is long-standing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), accounting for about 70 to 80% of adult cases. Chronic acid reflux can lead to injury and scarring of the esophageal lining, culminating in...
