Neointimal hyperplasia is a major cause of early restenosis after intervention in the cardiovascular system. For example, restenosis secondary to neointimal hyperplasia occurs in up to 50% of patients ...

Background— Diabetes is an independent risk factor for the development of neointimal hyperplasia and subsequent vein graft failure after coronary or peripheral artery bypass grafting. We evaluate a n ...

Objective: To analyse the neointimal coverage of sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) and bare-metal stent (BMS) visualised in vivo by optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods: OCT images were obtained in ...

Unfortunately, all of these procedures injure the vascular endothelium, which impairs its ability to produce nitric oxide (NO) and ultimately leads to neointimal hyperplasia and restenosis.

At 6 months, less neointimal hyperplasia was found at both the proximal and distal anastomoses. This included the prosthetic wall, suture region, and arterial wall.

The link between cytoskeletal actin dynamics and correlated gene activities was unclear. However, the discovery that globular actin polymerization liberates myocardin family transcriptional ...

Inhibition of the soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) enzyme diminishes degradation of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids, which can enhance their beneficial cardiovascular actions. Here, Imig and Hammock ...

This case is unique because it documents a rare occurrence of a Type IV stent fracture following percutaneous coronary ...
