Pathological study of implanted dacron grafts in surgery of thoracic aortic aneurysms.
We studied woven dacron grafts that had been implanted in 5 patients of thoracic aortic aneurysms. In addition to usual stains, immunocytochemical analysis was performed using monoclonal antibodies to the muscle actin (HHF35) and to the macrophage (HAM56). In the graft of 5 and 24 days implantation, thin thrombi contai...

Implementation of an aortic dissection CT protocol with clinical decision support aimed at decreasing radiation exposure by reducing routine abdominopelvic imaging.
Patients suspected of having an acute aortic syndrome in the ED typically undergo CT of the chest/abdomen/pelvis. However, the overwhelming majority of these exams are negative. With the help of clinical decision support, we implemented a new radiologist monitored 'aortic dissection screening protocol' that forgoes rou...

Improved conduction and increased cell retention in healed MI using mesenchymal stem cells suspended in alginate hydrogel.
BACKGROUND Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been associated with reduced arrhythmias; however, the mechanism of this action is unknown. In addition, limited retention and survival of MSCs can significantly reduce efficacy. We hypothesized that MSCs can improve impulse conduction and that alginate hydrogel will enhanc...

Surgical treatment of multiple coronary aneurysms in an elderly man.
We report an unusual case involving a 70-year-old man with multiple coronary aneurysms, including a 5-cm aneurysm of the right coronary artery. The precise size was determined with magnetic resonance imaging, although the aneurysms were diagnosed initially on angiography. Multiple coronary aneurysms are rare in adults,...

Beneficial effects of long-acting nifedipine on coronary vasomotion abnormalities after drug-eluting stent implantation: The NOVEL study.
It is widely known that drug-eluting stents (DES) induce coronary vasomotion abnormalities. We have previously demonstrated that chronic treatment with long-acting nifedipine suppresses coronary hyperconstricting responses induced by the first-generation DES (e.g. sirolimus- and pacritaxel-eluting stents) through inhib...
