Patients are contraindicated if they have been assessed to have bilateral carotid bifurcations located above the level of the mandible, baroreflex failure or autonomic neuropathy, uncontrolled symptomatic cardiac bradyarrhythmias, carotid atherosclerosis that is determined by ultrasound or angiographic evaluation greater than 50%, ulcerative plaques in the ...

Introduction Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a cerebrovascular disease characterised by progressive steno-occlusion of the terminal part of the internal carotid arteries, causing a decline in cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) distal to the steno-occlusion lesion. ...
Other less-common conduit options include xenogeneic tissues, such as bovine carotid artery and cyropreserved cadaveric vessels. Although interesting and useful in some situations, large scale availability and use of these conduits—especially for the acute phase of injuy management—have been limited by the ability to efficiently and reproducably procure, ship, and ...
Its superelasticity makes Nitinol the only material suitable for stents in the neck and carotid arteries or legs. In these vulnerable locations, a blow to the stent area will cause it to deform, but the Nitinol stent will return to its intended shape. ...
Prior to the inception of Thrombolex, the most notable achievement was the development of the generations of specialty stents, which led to a transformational change in the endovascular treatment of obstructive lesions in the coronary, iliac, renal and carotid arteries. Some of these prior innovations that members of our leadership team were involved with include the ...
In this study, we investigated the possibility of direct injection of vascular cells within decellularised porcine carotid arteries through the use of micro–needles inserted into the medial layer prior to decellularisation. The results indicate that these injection methods are feasible and provide a method for quickly bulk cell seeding decellularised scaffolds.Keywords: tissue ...
It is now accepted that during the early stages of development of coronary and carotid atherosclerotic plaques, activation of vasa vasorum (VV) at specific sites in the adventitia initiates their proliferation or 'angiogenesis', and migration through the media into the intima of unstable developing lesions. ...
