ENDOVASCULAR TREATMENT OF CALCIFIED FEMOROPOPLITEAL LESIONS
Dias-Neto, Marina; Ramos, José Fernando; Teixeira, José FernandoVascular calcification is a frequent finding in peripheral arterial disease and remains an additional challenge to endovascular treatment in both recanalization and durability of interventions. The lack of standardization in the classification of peripheral artery calcification has led to a defective characterization of the performance of endovascular devices in the subgroup of calcified lesions of the femoropo...
NEW CONCEPTS IN ADIPOSE TISSUE AND ABDOMINAL AORTIC PATHOLOGY
Dias-Neto, Marina; Nunes, Fábio; Almeida, Glória; Ramos, José Fernando; Teixeira, José Fernando; Sampaio, Sérgio; Leite-Moreira, AdelinoPerivascular adipose tissue has been increasingly recognized as an important producer of vasoactive factors and cytokines that may have a direct paracrine effect on the vasculature due to the inherent proximity. In this regard, perivascular adipose tissue-vessel interaction might be identified as a novel therapeutic target of vascular diseases. Conversely to other specific adipose depots, whose characteristics ...
EPIDEMIOLOGICAL TRANSITION IN ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM
Dias-Neto, Marina; Ramos, José Fernando; Sampaio, Sérgio; Freitas, AlbertoAbdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) has shown an epidemiological transition in Western countries. The standard of the XX century characterized by increasing incidence and mortality has been replaced by decreasing incidence and mortality due to AAA. The decrease in deaths from AAA observed since the 90s seems to have been motivated by reduced exposure to risk factors, increased use of cardioprotective drugs, increas...
