Imaging in-stent restenosis: an inexpensive, reliable, and rapid preclinical model.

12 Sep 2009 Preclinical models of restenosis are essential to unravel the pathophysiological processes that lead to in-stent restenosis and to optimize existing and future drug-eluting stents. A variety of antibodies and transgenic and knockout strains are ... Read more...

Long-term safety of left renal vein division and ligation to expedite complex abdominal aortic surgery.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Left renal vein division and ligation (LRVDAL) is performed to facilitate complex abdominal aortic surgery. Surgeons restore continuity of the vein due to concern that ligation could cause renal compromise or hematuria. However, we ... Read more...

Chronic angiotensin-(1-7) administration improves vascular remodeling after angioplasty through the regulation of the TGF-beta/Smad signaling pathway in rabbits.

24 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: Angiotensin-(1-7) [ANG-(1-7)] has been reported to attenuate neointimal formation after vascular injury and stent implantation in rats, but the mechanism remains mostly unresolved. Interestingly, the levels of circulating transforming ... Read more...
