Purpose: Qualitative comparison of image quality and diagnostic usability of the recently introduced ZeeFree (ZF) reconstruction algorithm for photon-counting coronary CT angiography (cCTA) with Standard (SD) and TrueStack (TS) reconstruction algorithms.
Methods And Materials: This retrospective single-center study included 59 patients (mean age 62.5 ± 13.
Background: Results from the Distal vs Conventional Radial Access (DISCO RADIAL) trial confirmed distal radial access (DRA) as a valid alternative to conventional transradial access, with equally low rates of radial artery occlusion (RAO), yet higher crossovers but shorter hemostasis.
Objectives: The purpose of the study was to investigate whether patient anthropometric measures influence the effect of randomized access on key secondary outcomes.
Methods: DISCO RADIAL was an international, multicenter, randomized controlled trial in which patients with indications for percutaneous coronary procedure using a 6-F Slender sheath were randomized to DRA (n = 650) or transradial access (n = 657) implementing best practices to reduce RAO.
Article Synopsis
- The BIOMAG-I study evaluated the first-in-human resorbable magnesium scaffold (DREAMS 3G) and showed positive outcomes for clinical results and late lumen loss after 12 months.
- The current substudy looked into vascular healing parameters using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), focusing on aspects like strut visibility and neointimal growth.
- Results from 56 patients indicated that almost all scaffold struts became invisible by 12 months, with a favorable vascular healing response, including a significant decrease in protruding neointimal tissue.
Process Development of Aluminum Electroplating from an Ionic Liquid on 150 mm Wafer Level.
Micromachines (Basel)
June 2024
This paper focuses on the development of electroplating on 150 mm wafer level for microsystem technology applications from 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (EMImCl) with Aluminumtrichloride (AlCl). The deposition was carried out on 150 mm wafers with Au or Al seed layers deposited by physical vapor deposition (PVD). The electrodeposition was carried out using pattern plating.

Design: BIO|GUARD-MI was a randomized, international open-label study with blinded outcome assessment.
