Objectives: This study sought to demonstrate the 5-year clinical and functional multislice
computed tomography angiographic results after implantation of the fully resorbable …

One of the main determinants of perfusion distribution within an organ is the structure of its
vascular network. Past studies were based on angiography or corrosion casting and lacked …

Mounting evidence suggests that the pulsatile character of blood pressure and flow within
large arteries plays a particularly important role as a mechano-biological stimulus for wall …

Aims: Frequency-domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT) provides a rapid
tomographic scan of a coronary vessel, with an accurate reconstruction of its lumen profile …

Elevation of biomarkers and ischaemia after coronary stenting of a bifurcation is not
uncommon due to side branch (SB) occlusion. Hence, it is important to understand the …

AIMS: To identify the geometrical alterations in the age-remodeled rat coronary artery
network and to develop a useful technique to analyze network properties in the rat heart …

Fractional flow reserve (FFR) determined by invasive angiography is the gold standard to
assess the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). FFRCT can be obtained non …

• Low endothelial shear stress promotes atherosclerotic plaque formation, and the anatomic
distribution of atherosclerosis at the coronary bifurcation is consistent with the spatial …
