Background—Despite the increasing use of stents, few reports have described human
coronary artery morphology early and late after stenting. Methods and Results—Histology was …

Background— The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of stent-based
delivery of sirolimus (SRL) alone or in combination with dexamethasone (DEX) to reduce in-stent …

Background— Paclitaxel can inhibit vascular smooth muscle proliferation in vitro, and early
studies suggest that paclitaxel may be useful in preventing restenosis. Early and late intimal …

Background: Stent-based delivery of sirolimus (SRL) has shown reduction in neointimal
hyperplasia and restenosis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the chronic vascular …

Objectives. This study was performed to define the evolution of lesion morphology and its
relation to thrombus formation and smooth muscle cell proliferation after experimental coronary …

The objectives of augmentation of the nucleus pulposus following disc removal are to prevent
disc height loss and the associated biomechanical and biochemical changes. Flowable …

Background— Previous work has suggested that platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor blockade
may confer benefit in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction. The TIGER-PA pilot …

Purpose. External beam mediastinal radiation-induced accelerated coronary atherosclerotic
heart disease in humans has been recognized, especially when the condition occurs in …

A system of aligned vertical fractures produces azimuthal variations in stacking velocity and
amplitude variation with offset, characteristics often reported in seismic reflection data for …

Background Restenosis after successful percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty is
the major factor limiting the long-term effectiveness of this procedure. Neointimal …
