Successful surgical pulmonary artery reconstruction in arterial tortuosity syndrome.

29 Sep 2009 The outcomes of surgical repair for diffuse pulmonary artery stenoses due to arterial tortuosity syndrome are unknown. We report a 1-year-old girl with tortuosity syndrome who presented with suprasystemic right ventricular pressure due to distortion ... Read more...

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...

Aortofemoral bypass to bridge end-stage renal disease patients with severe iliac calcification to kidney transplantation.

30 Aug 2009 Patients undergoing hemodialysis have a lower survival rate than those who receive a kidney transplant. Mortality among hemodialysis patients is approximately 14.5% compared with 1.5% for transplant recipients. One of the exclusion criteria for ... Read more...
