Ischaemic heart diseases continue to be a major global health concern and a leading cause of death. To develop more effective treatments, it is essential for researchers to work with animal models that closely replicate human cardiac physiology. In a notable step forward, Pius et al. present a refined, minimally invasive ovine model of ischaemia–reperfusion–infarction which ...
In the dynamic landscape of modern medicine, technological advancements continuously reshape diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, fostering innovation and improving patient outcomes. Within this realm, the adoption of fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) and perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) tubing has emerged as a game-changer, revolutionizing various medical procedures across diverse specialties. Let's ...
Start-up Alucent Biomedical is using a light-activated molecule, delivered via a balloon catheter, to create a natural vascular scaffold in diseased peripheral vessels, with the aim of providing a long-lasting treatment option that maintains patency while leaving nothing behind in the vessel. Alucent Biomedical Inc. is rethinking peripheral artery disease (PAD) treatment with a novel natural ...
Pathophysiology, treatment options and hot topics Improvements In Stemi Treatment The immediate and long-term prognosis of patients experiencing an ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has changed dramatically since the introduction of coronary reperfusion therapies during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). The evolution of these therapies accelerated with the ...
Incomplete stent expansion and malapposed stent struts are a predictor of subacute and late stent thrombosis. Appropriate lesion preparation prior to stent implantation is necessary to assure complete stent expansion and stent strut apposition. This is of particular importance in challenging lesions, in particular those with calcific plaque. The goal of the pre-dilatation is to obtain optimal ...

Our Medical Director of the Oncology Breast Program, Dr. Beth DuPree, was first in the U.S. to adopt VeraForm, a continuous, radiopaque 3D tissue marker. Within months, its utility led to quick integration into our program’s standard daily practice. Like all centers today, patient satisfaction is a focal point and to date, we have seen no complications or toxicities by any criteria (e.g., ...
