Surgical techniques and prognostic nomogram for patients with supravalvular aortic stenosis.
Eur J Med Res
January 2025
Department of Pediatric Cardiac Center, Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, 100029, China.
Background: An effective prognostic nomogram to predict the prognosis for supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS) patients is lacking.
Methods: A multi-center retrospective study of consecutive SVAS patients with surgery between 2002 and 2020 was conducted. Patients underwent McGoon repairs, Doty repairs, and other repairs.

Objective: The study aims to elucidate the mechanisms underlying plaque growth by analyzing the variations in hemodynamic parameters within the plaque region of patients' carotid arteries before and after the development of atherosclerotic lesions.
Methods: The study enrolls 25 patients with common carotid artery stenosis and 25 with tandem carotid artery stenosis. Based on pathological analysis, three-dimensional models of the actual blood vessels before and after the lesion are constructed for two patients within a two-year period.
Introduction：Few studies have evaluated different patterns of in-stent restenosis by optical coherence tomography (OCT). This study aims to identify in vivo predictors for focal restenosis in patients with in-stent restenosis (ISR). Methods: The study recruited patients with ISR who underwent OCT examination in the Cardiology Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University from October 2018 to December 2022.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the role of inflammation-related biomarkers (SII, SIRI, NLR, PLR) in predicting mid-term mortality and restenosis in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD).
- During an average follow-up of about 21 months, researchers found that higher levels of these biomarkers correlated with increased mortality rates, particularly highlighting NLR as a significant independent risk factor.
- However, no significant links were established between these biomarkers and the occurrence of restenosis in the study participants.
Functional Mechanical Behavior and Biocompatible Characteristics of Graphene-Coated Cardiovascular Stents.

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) is a treatment method that involves reopening narrowed arteries with a balloon catheter that delivers a cylindrical, mesh-shaped implant device to the site of the stenosis. Currently, by applying a coating to a bare metal stent (BMS) surface to improve biocompatibility, the main risks after PCI, such as restenosis and thrombosis, are reduced while maintaining the basic requirements for the mechanical behavior of the stent itself. In this work, for the first time, the development and optimization process of the spatial structure of the Co-Cr stent (L-605) with a graphene-based coating using cold-wall chemical vapor deposition (CW-CVD) to ensure uniform coverage of the implant was attempted.
