      Extracorporeal Photopheresis and Early Cardiac Graft Vasculopathy

      Heart transplantation is a golden standard for the treatment of terminal heart failure. The major cause of death in late posttransplant period is cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV). This posttransplant complication develops slowly over several years, and when diagnosed either by conventional coronary angiography or due to graft failure, it is often too advanced and difficult to treat since it is diffuse coronary artery disease. Therefore, early prevention of CAV is a subject of major interest in the transplant cardiology. Since CAV is associated with immune factors, immunomodulatory therapeutic options, like extracorporeal photopheresis are lately being investigated. Unlike conventional coronary angiography ...

      Functional Assessment of the Infart-related Artery With Bioactive and Polymer-free Coronary Stents (The FUNCOMBO Trial)

      The bioengineered COMBO stent (Orbus Neich, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States) has a dual-therapy strategy, which combines a sirolimus-eluting coating with an anti-CD34 antibody layer to promote vessel healing. Sirolimus release (5 μg/mm) is completed in 30 days, and the biodegradable polymer disappears within 90 days. CD34 antibodies are immobilized on the surface of the stent and capture circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). The captured EPCs are triggered by sheer stress from the circulating blood and other cell signals to differentiate and mature into endothelial cells. COMBO Plus is the only stent with a biological coating that actively repairs ...

      Diagnostic Efficacy of FFOCT Imaging for Tissue Sample Obtained by EUSFNB

      In most Asian medical centers, rapid on-site cytology evaluation is not available, the number of needle passes of EUS-FNA is decided by endoscopists. Full-field optical coherence tomography (FF-OCT) is a new optical imaging technique that could generate sectioning tomogram from fresh tissue and provide close-to-pathology depiction of the morphological structure and pathological changes in minutes without conventional tissue preparation, slicing, and staining, and dynamic cell imaging (DCI) added the viability information of cells/tissue, which could be more important in sample rapid evaluation.

      Multimodal Ophthalmic Imaging

      Knowledge of the pathogenesis of ocular conditions, a leading cause of blindness, has benefited greatly from recent advances in ophthalmic imaging. However, current clinical imaging systems are limited in resolution, speed, or access to certain structures of the eye. The use of a high-resolution imaging system improves the resolution of ophthalmoscopes by several orders of magnitude, allowing the visualization of many microstructures of the eye: photoreceptors, vessels, nerve bundles in the retina, cells and nerves in the cornea. The use of a high-speed acquisition imaging system makes it possible to detect functional measurements such as the speed of blood flow ...

      Optical Coherence Tomography Guided Antithrombotic Treatment After Endovascular Thrombectomy of the Posterior Circulation

      Evidence regarding the role of early (<24 hours) antithrombotics post-revascularization with either intravenous thrombolysis (IVT), endovascular thrombectomy (EVT), or a combination of both remains scarce. In 2018 the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association changed their recommendation, stating that the risk of antithrombotic therapy within the first 24 hours after treatment with IVT (with or without EVT) is uncertain. This was changed after data emerged that early antithrombotics may be safe and may improve outcomes in select patients undergoing EVT. Recently our group showed for the first time that significant residual basilar thrombus can exist after EVT despite complete angiographic ...
