Background: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of endovascular denervation (EDN) as an adjunct to percutaneous vascular intervention (PVI) for peripheral artery disease (PAD).
Methods: From August 2019 to April 2021, 38 eligible patients with PAD enrolled in this study were randomly and equally assigned into 2 groups: the PVI group and the PVI + EDN group treated with EDN at the iliac and femoral arteries before PVI. The primary endpoint was the improvement in the ankle brachial index at 6 months after the procedure.
Purpose: To analyze the risk factors for access-related adverse events (AEs) of the preclose technique in thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR).
Materials And Methods: Ninety-one patients with Stanford type B aortic dissection who underwent the preclose technique in TEVAR between January 2013 and December 2021 were included. According to the occurrence of access-related AEs, the patients were divided into 2 groups: those with AE and those without AE.
Article Synopsis
- The addition of paclitaxel significantly increased the stent's strength, and the drug was effectively released during degradation, promoting fibroblast apoptosis without harming cell viability.
- In animal studies, the new stent maintained esophageal opening and reduced inflammation and scar tissue, indicating its potential as a safe treatment for benign esophageal strictures.
