Global Chronic Total Occlusion Crossing Algorithm
Wu, EB; Brilakis, ES; Mashayekhi, K; Tsuchikane, E; Alaswad, K; Araya, M; Avran, A; Azzalini, L; Babunashvili, AM; Bayani, B; Behnes, M; Bhindi, RThe authors developed a global chronic total occlusion crossing algorithm following 10 steps: 1) dual angiography; 2) careful angiographic review focusing on proximal cap morphology, occlusion segment, distal vessel quality, and collateral circulation; 3) approaching proximal cap ambiguity using intravascular ultrasound, retrograde, and move-the-cap techniques; 4) approaching poor distal vessel quality using th...
Synthetic matrix enhances transplanted satellite cell engraftment in dystrophic...
Han, W; Anderson, S; Mohiuddin, M; Barros, D; Nakhai, S; Shin, E; Amaral, IF; Pêgo, AP; García, A; Jang, YMuscle satellite cells (MuSCs) play a central role in muscle regeneration, but their quantity and function decline with comorbidity of trauma, aging, and muscle diseases. Although transplantation of MuSCs in traumatically injured muscle in the comorbid context of aging or pathology is a strategy to boost muscle regeneration, an effective cell delivery strategy in these contexts has not been developed. We engine...
