Endothelial cell seeding.
Endothelial cell seeding is a technique that has developed over the past 15 years in response to the need for a high performance synthetic vascular graft. This review details our present knowledge of seeding and examines the various problems that have hampered its introduction into clinical practice.
متن کاملDissection flap protruding through stent struts.
A 64-year-old male with unstable angina underwent direct stenting in the proximal and mid-left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) lesions. Although coronary angiography showed a good result, intravascular ultrasound imaging revealed a dissection flap protruding through the struts of the stent in the proximal LAD. Another stent was deployed in the first stent (stent-in-stent) to seal it. ...
متن کاملEndothelial cell seeding of polymeric vascular grafts.
Pioneers in the field of small diameter graft development sought to promote graft endothelialization and, thereby, increase patency by transplanting a varying degree of autologous endothelial cells onto vascular grafts prior to implantation. This process has become known as endothelial cell seeding. The underlying hypothesis is quite simple; that is, by promoting the establishment of the patien...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Rotation Device for Microvascular Endothelial Cell Seeding
A rotation device (RD) specifically designed to achieve sterile endothelial cell (EC) seeding of vascular grafts has been developed. The basic characteristics of the RD include: small dimensions , fully autoclavable components, and perfectly sealed graft holders. These features make it possible to maintain sterility during all the steps of EC seeding. This was documented by negativity of all ba...
متن کاملLearning to Detect Stent Struts in Intravascular Ultrasound
In this paper we tackle the automatic detection of struts elements (metallic braces of a stent device) in Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) sequences. The proposed method is based on context-aware classification of IVUS images, where we use Multi-Class Multi-Scale Stacked Sequential Learning (MSSL). Additionally, we introduce a novel technique to reduce the amount of required contextual features....
