Background: Despite improvement in devices, in-stent restenosis remains a frequent and challenging complication of percutaneous coronary interventions.
Methods And Results: The RESTO (Morphological Parameters of In-Stent Restenosis Assessed and Identified by OCT [Optical Coherence Tomography]; study NCT04268875) was a prospective multicenter registry including patients presenting with coronary syndromes related to in-stent restenosis. All patients underwent preintervention OCT analysis, which led to analysis of in-stent restenosis phenotype, number of strut layers, and presence of stent underexpansion.
Background: Despite scarce data, invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) is widely suggested as first-line ventilatory support in cardiogenic shock (CS) patients. We assessed the real-life use of different ventilation strategies in CS and their influence on short and mid-term prognosis.
Methods: FRENSHOCK was a prospective registry including 772 CS patients from 49 centers in France.
Different types of macrophages (Mφ) are involved in atherogenesis, including inflammatory Mφ and foamy Mφ (FM). Our previous study demonstrated that two-photon excited fluorescence (TPEF) imaging of NADH and FAD autofluorescence (AF) could distinguish experimental models that mimic the different atherosclerotic Mφ types. The present study assessed whether optical differences correlated with phenotypic and functional differences, potentially guiding diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
