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. ...
In the setting of extremity trauma this most commonly involves interposition graft replacement of the injured artery. Studies from the military trauma system and the Combat Casualty Care Research program show that saphenous vein is an effective conduit in this setting with good patency rates and tissue incorporation, although thrombosis and infection occur in 10% to 20% of cases. ...
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 ...
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 ...
