Ischemia-Driven Revascularization

Ischemia-Guided Percutaneous Revascularization

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com The study of Hachamovitch et al. [3] emphasized the relationship between inducible ischemia on SPECT and the presence of shortterm survival benefits with early revascularization vs. medical therapy.Revascularization was associated with a reduction in mortality for patients having moderate to severe ischemia. The cut-off level of ischemic myocardium,...

Coronary revascularization for myocardial ischemia.

Ischemia-Driven Computed Tomography-Guided Revascularization of Chronic Total Occlusion Missed by Conventional Angiography

A 71-year-old female with diabetes mellitus, a recent history of failed percutaneous revascularization of the chronic left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) in-stent occlusion, and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction presented with persisting Canadian Cardiovascular Society class III angina. Coronary angiography failed to visualize the complete course of distal LAD (Fig. 1A and...

Angiopoietin-2 impairs revascularization after limb ischemia.

Angiopoietins play important roles in the formation of neovessels and complex vascular networks. Angiopoietin (Ang)-1 and Ang-2 belong to a family of growth factors that display opposing effects on the activation of Tie2 (tyrosine kinase with immunoglobulin and epidermal growth factor homology domain 2). Endothelial Ang-2 expression is associated with vessel destabilization and regulates a bala...
