Absorbable stent: focus on clinical applications and benefits
Coronary stents have improved very significantly the immediate and long-term results of percutaneous coronary interventions. However, once the vessel has healed, the scaffolding function of the stent is no longer needed, and the presence of a permanent metallic prosthesis poses important disadvantages. This has led to the idea of creating new devices that are able to provide mechanical support ...
متن کاملOrbusNeich fully absorbable coronary stent platform incorporating dual partitioned coatings.
The field of stent based tissue engineering continues to revolutionise modern medicine by designing novel materials to restore vascular tissue function. Accordingly, the following discussion examines a novel, absorbable, polymeric scaffold engineered in combination with dual therapeutic coating, enabling locally administered temporary scaffolding in the coronary arteries for long term vascular ...
متن کاملAirway remodeling and RELM-
TYPE 2 INFLAMMATORY RESPONSES are characterized by differentiated CD4 T helper type 2 (Th2) cells that secrete a panel of cytokines including IL-4, IL-5, IL-9, and IL-13 with the recruitment of multiple effector cells, including B cells producing IgE, mast cells, eosinophils, and basophils. Although inflammation per se attracts a great deal of attention, it is the effects of inflammation on tis...
متن کاملA new removable airway stent
BACKGROUND Malignant airway obstruction is a feared complication and will most probably occur more frequently in the future because of increasing cancer incidence and increased life expectancy in cancer patients. Minimal invasive treatment using airway stents represents a meaningful and life-saving palliation. We present a new removable airway stent for improved individualised treatment. METH...
متن کاملChlamydia pneumoniae and airway remodeling.
To the Editor: I would like to comment on the interesting study by Pasternack et al, 1 who reported on relationships among Chlamydia pneumoniae antibodies, asthma incidence, and lung function in a 15-year prospective, population-based, adult cohort using a nested case-control methodology of 83 cases and 162 controls selected from a total population of 8000 subjects. For nonatopic asthma, they f...
