The tiny grabber that plucks blood clots out of a vein (The Mail on Sunday)
Thousands of patients suffering from deep vein thrombosis (DVT) are set to benefit from a lifesaving procedure using a new blood clot grabbing device pioneered by NHS specialists. The treatment involves inserting a stent, a tiny, ball- shaped wire cage into a blocked vein. Once in position, the collapsible cage is expanded and ‘ catches’ the clot. When the device is pulled out, the ...

The Use of High-Frequency Jet Ventilation in the Management of a Pre-term Infant with Pulmonary Stenosis and Respiratory Distress Syndrome. – A Case Report
The combination of congenital heart disease (CHD) and respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) can present a difficult scenario to manage with conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV). Our patient presented with poor right ventricular (RV) function, and refractory respiratory failure on CMV. High-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) was used in order to improve ventilation at a similar or lower mean ...

Chocolate PTCA Balloon Catheter for pre-dilatation of an occluded right coronary artery - Case Study
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 ...

Development of a Bioartificial Vascular Pancreas
Abstract Transplantation of pancreatic islets has been shown to be effective, in some patients, for the long-term treatment of type 1 diabetes. However, transplantation of islets into either the portal vein or the subcutaneous space can be limited by insufficient oxygen transfer, leading to islet loss. Furthermore, oxygen diffusion limitations can be magnified when islet numbers are increased ...

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, ...

Clinical implementation of the Humacyte human acellular vessel: Implications for military and civilian trauma care
ABSTRACT: The incidence of wartime vascular injury has increased and is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity. While ligation remains an option, current resuscitation and damage control techniques have resulted in vascular repair being pursued in more than half of wartime injuries. Options for vascular reconstruction are currently limited to autologous vein or synthetic conduits, choices ...

Susceptibility of ePTFE vascular grafts and bioengineered human acellular vessels to infection
Background: Synthetic expanded polytetrafluorethylene (ePTFE) grafts are routinely used for vascular repair and reconstruction but prone to sustained bacterial infections. Investigational bioengineered human acellular vessels (HAVs) have shown clinical success and may confer lower susceptibility to infection. Here we directly compared the susceptibility of ePTFE grafts and HAV to bacterial ...
