Geometric vascular remodeling after balloon angioplasty and beta-radiation therapy: A three-dimensional intravascular ultrasound study.
BACKGROUND Endovascular radiation appears to inhibit intimal thickening after overstretching balloon injury in animal models. The effect of brachytherapy on vascular remodeling is unknown. The aim of the study was to determine the evolution of coronary vessel dimensions after intracoronary irradiation after successful balloon angioplasty in humans. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-one consecutive p...
متن کاملSerial Intravascular Ultrasound Assessment of Coronary Atherosclerosis Progression and Remodeling
Background: The relation between serum lipids and risk of coronary events has been established, but there are no data demonstrating directly the relation between serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol versus serial changes in coronary plaque dimensions. Methods and Results: We performed standard analyses of serial intravascular ultrasound ...
متن کاملMetalloproteinases, Mechanical Factors and Vascular Remodeling
Chronic increases in arterial blood flow elicit an adaptive response of the arterial wall, leading to vessel enlargement and reduction in wall shear stress to physiological baseline value. Release of nitric oxide from endothelial cells exposed to excessive shear is a fundamental step in the remodeling process, and potentially triggers a cascade of events, including growth factor induction and m...
متن کاملVascular Healing Evaluated by Intravascular Ultrasound and Optical Coherence Tomography.
A 34-year-old man with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction was referred to our department for primary angioplasty. A coronary angiogram revealed thrombotic occlusion of the ostial left anterior descending artery, with protrusion of abundant thrombotic material into the left main coronary artery. After ineffective thromboaspiration, dilatation with a 2.0 mm 15 mm balloon was performed and...
متن کاملPositive Vascular Remodeling in Culprit Coronary Lesion is Associated With Plaque Composition: An Intravascular Ultrasound-Virtual Histology Study
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The relationship between the positive remodeling (PR) of a coronary artery and plaque composition has been studied only in a relatively small number of study population or non-culprit lesion. We evaluated the association between coronary plaque composition and coronary artery remodeling in a relatively large number of culprit lesions. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The study p...
