Abstract:
Currently, stricter indications for carotid artery stenosis are required owing to improvements in multifaceted medical treatment, including the intensive management of risk factors for atherosclerosis and lifestyle changes. High-risk factors for carotid artery stenting, such as vulnerable plaques, severe calcification, pseudo-occlusion, and difficult access, should be evaluated before endovascular intervention. Therefore, we need to understand the characteristics of each device to achieve maximum risk reduction for carotid artery stenting.

Heart Valves
The AV valves prevent the backflow of blood from the ventricles to the atria during ventricular contraction. These valves function with the assistance of the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles. When the ventricles are relaxed, the chordae tendineae are slack, allowing blood to flow from the atria into the...
