Use of the Wallstent for infrapopliteal arterial disease and varying vessel diameters
نویسندگان
چکیده
There is little description of the Wallstent to treat infrapopliteal arterial disease. This may be a viable option due to its high conformability and ability to elongate in vessels of varying diameters. This case report highlights its use in this clinical situation.

Simulation study of Hemodynamic in Bifurcations for Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformation using Electrical Analogy
Background and Objective: Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformation (CAVM) hemodynamic is disease condition, results changes in the flow and pressure level in cerebral blood vessels. Measuring flow and pressure without catheter intervention along the vessel is big challenge due to vessel bifurcations/complex bifurcations in Arteriovenous Malformation patients. The vessel geometry in CAVM patients are...
متن کاملArterial Stiffness and its Correlation with the Extent of Coronary Artery Disease
Introduction: Coronary artery disease secondary to atherosclerosis is the most common cause of mortality. Coronary angiography is the most precise method for determining the extent of disease in the coronary vascular bed. Arterial stiffness has been proposed as a marker of atherosclerosis in some studies. One of the noninvasive methods for the determination of arterial stiffness is Doppler echo...

OBJECTIVES This study sought to report the results of a prospective randomized controlled trial comparing paclitaxel-coated balloons (PCB) versus drug-eluting stents (DES) in long infrapopliteal lesions. BACKGROUND DES have an established role in the treatment of short infrapopliteal lesions, whereas there is increasing evidence for the use of PCB in longer below-the-knee lesions. METHODS I...

OBJECTIVE To use intravascular ultrasound to investigate the effects of antiplatelet agents and other factors on neointimal proliferation after stent implantation for iliac artery stenosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS The subjects were 109 patients with peripheral arterial disease who underwent stent implantation in the iliac artery. Intravascular ultrasound was performed to evaluate lesion area, st...
