Arterial reconstruction with human bioengineered acellular blood vessels in patients with peripheral arterial disease
Abstract Objective: Vascular conduit is essential for arterial reconstruction for a number of conditions, including trauma and atherosclerotic occlusive disease. We have developed a tissue-engineered human acellular vessel (HAV) that can be manufactured, stored on site at hospitals, and be immediately available for arterial vascular reconstruction. Although the HAV is acellular when implanted, ...

The Evolving Role of Percutaneous Deep Venous Arterialization
The increasing incidence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) is occurring globally as populations age and rates of diabetes, obesity, and renal disease increase.1-3 Although most of these patients have no symptoms, when the disease progresses to its most advanced form, chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), there is a significant risk for limb loss. Despite the fact that our revascularization ...

How Hyaluronic Acid Promotes Pancreatic Cancer Cell Growth Revealed
Hyaluronic acid is known to be present in pancreatic tumors. However, in a new study, researchers from the University of Michigan Roger Cancer Center and the University of Pennsylvania found that hyaluronic acid also acts as a food for cancer cells. The results provide new insights into how pancreatic cancer cells grow and point to new possibilities for the treatment of this cancer. The relevant ...

Clinical implementation of the Humacyte human acellular vessel: Implications for military and civilian trauma care
ABSTRACT: The incidence of wartime vascular injury has increased and is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity. While ligation remains an option, current resuscitation and damage control techniques have resulted in vascular repair being pursued in more than half of wartime injuries. Options for vascular reconstruction are currently limited to autologous vein or synthetic conduits, choices ...

LimFlow Percutaneous Deep Venous Arterialization
What interested you in LimFlow, and how did you get involved in the PROMISE I trial? Dr. Clair: Practicing vascular surgery, where a number of patients are evaluated for chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), you are guaranteed to have patients who are not candidates for percutaneous or surgical revascularization. These patients often have arterial systems open or identifiable to the ankle, ...
