The ability to increase coronary flow is referred to as coronary flow reserve. Increased coronary flow is required for increased oxygen supply to the myocardium, as each molecule of hemoglobin that enters the coronary circulation delivers all the carried oxygen during its pass through the myocardium. Thus, only increased flow can ...
As the most advanced stage of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is associated with a high risk of lower-limb loss and mortality. Percutaneous deep vein arterialization (pDVA) is a promising new treatment alternative for CLTI patients who cannot be treated with conventional revascularization techniques. ...
Previous surgeons have looked at arterialization of venous flow, but there had never truly been adequate proof of benefit. ...
Alucent’s first area of focus is one the most debilitating vascular diseases –peripheral artery disease, plaque build-up in mainly the legs that narrows blood flow causing excruciating pain. Their hope is to ultimately make the well-known ‘stent,’ currently used to maintain diseased arteries and veins open, obsolete. ...
The LimFlow System includes devices specifically designed to easily achieve successful crossover from artery to vein, antegrade disruption of the valves, and delivery of a dedicated conduit to assure diversion of flow into the venous system and exclusion of more proximal branches to provide pressurized arterialized venous flow ...
