Implantation of endovascular covered stents is an effective and safe method for the percutaneous closure of pseudoaneurysms and arteriovenous fistulas. Thus, endoluminal vascular repair with covered stents offers an alternative therapeutic approach to vascular surgery in selected patients.
Patients with a pressure gradient greater than 20 mm Hg should be good candidates for renal arterial dilatation, and use of the pressure guide wire will facilitate interventional decisions.
Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging detected infarct-related signal changes as early as 1 h after AMI in humans, whereas the sensitivity of edema-related signal changes was not sufficient during this very early stage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
