Serial segmental narrowing frequently occurs in humans, which alters coronary
hemodynamics and further affects atherosclerotic progression and plaque formation. The …

Poor welding strength constitutes an obstacle in the clinical employment of laser-assisted
vascular repair (LAVR) and anastomosis. We therefore investigated the feasibility of using …

The relationship between blood pressure (BP) and cardiovascular diseases has been
extensively documented. However, the benefit of anti-hypertensive drugs differs according to …

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of death and disability worldwide and,
despite the advent of many important new surgical and interventional devices, continues to …

Coronary artery pressure-drop and distensibility (compliance) are two major, seemingly
unrelated, parameters in the cardiovascular clinical setting, which are indicative of coronary …

We recently showed the fortifying effect of poly‐caprolactone (PCL) scaffold in liquid solder‐
mediated laser‐assisted vascular repair (ssLAVR) of porcine carotid arteries, yielding a …

Objective: We have recently demonstrated the fortifying effect of poly (e-caprolactone)(PCL)
scaffold in liquid solder-mediated laser-assisted vascular repair (ssLAVR) of porcine carotid …

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounts for an estimated 17.5 million global deaths each
year and is currently the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the world [1]. It is …

Vascular stiffness is a major prognostic factor, and the paper by Warren et al.(1) should be
commended for raising this concept in the field of interventional cardiology. Pulse pressure …

In their article on the angiographic and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging
characteristics of mismatch coronary lesions (MCLs), Phan et al emphasize how common …
