Elevated Preoperative Galectin-3 Is Associated With Acute Kidney Injury After Cardiac Surgery
Annotations Preoperative serum Gal-3 was measured in 1498 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery and/or valve. Patients in the highest third of Gal-3 levels had 2.95-greater odds of developing KDIGO Stage 2 or 3 (p < 0.001) and 1.71-increased odds of developing KDIGO Stage 1 (p = 0.001), compared to the lowest third. Elevated preoperative Gal-3 levels significantly ...

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, ...
