(A,B) Stent deployed in a patient coronary artery (arrows); (C,D) phantom vessel with successive intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) images at 100-mm intervals; and (E,F) corresponding micro-CT images at 50-mm intervals. Adjacent struts (green and yellow ovals) merge at the luminal side of the stents and form a gap at the vessel wall. (G) Reflections at gap boundaries result in flare spots.

متن کاملCardiac dysfunction in pauci symptomatic human immunodeficiency virus patients: a meta-analysis in the highly active antiretroviral therapy era.
AIMS Human immunodeficiency virus infection (HIV) has been associated with cardiac dysfunction that, if present, can negatively affect morbidity and mortality of HIV-infected patients. Unfortunately, many of the studies on this topic were performed before the highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) was established. Thus, we performed a comprehensive meta-analysis to critically appraise the...
