Development of an experimental model of the carotid bifurcation using electrically conductive silicone: an introduction to the incorporation of baroreceptor function within a mimetic model of the carotid artery
This study assesses the suitability of developing a material for use in an experimental model of the carotid baroreceptors. Such a model could then be used in future studies to assess the impact of carotid artery stenting on hemodynamic stability. The material must exhibit a significant measurable electrical response to strain in a fashion analogous to baroreceptor behaviour. A modified ...

EluNIR DES in a Challenging Case - Case Study
Background: This paper describes a challenging case of implantation of the EluNIR™ Ridaforolimus eluting elastomeric stent (Medinol Ltd.). This complex case involved a patient with a flow-limiting lesion in a native coronary artery post bypass surgery. The new EluNIR stent system includes a stent with a low metal footprint that comprises struts of variable width: ultra-narrow struts ...

EluNIR First-in-Patient Implantation- Case Study
Background This paper outlines the first in-patient implantation of the EluNIR™ ridaforolimus eluting elastomeric stent (Medinol Ltd.). This complex case involved a patient with a flow-limiting lesion in a native coronary artery post bypass surgery. The new EluNIR stent system includes a stent with a low metal footprint which comprises struts of variable width: ultra-narrow struts having ...

Novel ‘3D’ Stent Improves Clinical Status in Femoropopliteal Disease Patients
PARIS, France—A "3D" helical stent that mimics the natural vascular curvature helps improve clinical symptoms and walking distance at 12 months in patients with femoropopliteal disease, according to results presented Tuesday, May 21 at EuroPCR 2013. For the Mimics study, researchers led by Stephan H. Duda, MD, of Jewish Hospital Berlin (Berlin, Germany), randomized 76 patients with ...

Innovation Spotlight: Alucent Biomedical | Can we Make ‘Stents’ Obsolete?
As part of our ongoing Vascular Innovation Series in conjunction with The Way to My Heart, journalist Kym McNicholas interviewed Alucent Biomedical CEO, Dr. Myles Greenberg. Treatment for vascular blockages is getting a much-needed innovation makeover. Alucent’s first area of focus is one the most debilitating vascular diseases –peripheral artery disease, plaque build-up in mainly ...

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, ...
