Venous thromboembolism swine model with reflux-induced venous hypertension.
JVS Vasc Sci
March 2024
California Medical Innovations Institute, San Diego, CA.
Article Synopsis
- * Six pigs underwent a series of procedures that resulted in the formation of a thrombus, which was studied histologically to understand its evolution into an organized structure over time.
- * The model is significant for translational research, as it includes key factors involved in VTE, making it useful for developing diagnostic and treatment strategies for those suffering from related conditions in humans.
Novel venous balloon for compliance measurement and stent sizing in a post-thrombotic swine model.
Front Bioeng Biotechnol
November 2023
California Medical Innovations Institute, San Diego, CA, United States.
Article Synopsis
- * The CMSB uses real-time electrical conductance and pressure measurements to determine the size and compliance of veins, showing high accuracy and repeatability in tests using medical phantoms and swine models.
- * Results indicated that stenotic veins had significantly lower compliance compared to non-stenotic veins, suggesting the CMSB's effectiveness in guiding venous interventions, paving the way for future human trials.
Caliber-targeted reinterventional overdilation of iliac vein Wallstents.
J Vasc Surg Venous Lymphat Disord
March 2019
The Rane Center at St. Dominic's Hospital, Jackson, Miss.
Background: Wallstents (Boston Scientific, Marlborough, Mass) are most commonly used in iliac-caval stenting. Approximately 20% of stented limbs require reintervention to correct in-stent restenosis (ISR) or stent compression (SC). Corrective balloon dilation to rated stent caliber (isodilation) is not always successful.

J Vasc Surg Venous Lymphat Disord
January 2015
The Rane Center at St. Dominic's Hospital, Jackson, Miss.
Background: The geriatric population aged 80 years and older with severe manifestations of chronic venous disease face diminishing therapeutic options. Self-applied compression is often not possible because of frailty or arthritis. Significant limb swelling diminishes mobility, affects independent living, and precipitates institutionalization.
