Diffuse atherosclerosis of thoracic aorta involving supraaortic and coronary arteries: single-stage surgical revascularization.

12 Nov 2008 Arterial occlusive disease of supraaortic vessels, particularly the subclavian and innominate arteries, is infrequent. Hemodynamically significant proximal lesions of all supraaortic arteries are uncommon and the combination with coronary artery ... Read more...

Antiplatelet agents for preventing thrombosis after peripheral arterial bypass surgery.

6 Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) may cause occlusions (blockages) in the main arteries of lower limbs. One treatment option is bypass surgery using autologous (the patient's own tissue) vein graft or artificial graft. A number of ... Read more...

Simulation based medical treatment of arteriosclerosis.

30 May 2008 OBJECTIVE: To study the usefulness of computer simulations in planning effective treatment of stenosed carotid arteries. STUDY DESIGN: Computational study of poststenotic areas of carotid arteries. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY: This study was carried ... Read more...
