Valvular prostheses having metal or pseudometallic construction and methods of manufacture
Julio C. Palmaz,Eugene A. Sprague,Christina Fuss,Denes Marton,Roger W. Wiseman,Christopher E. Banas,Christopher T. Boyle,Steven R. Bailey +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe improvements in prosthetic cardiac and venous valves and implantable medical devices having moveable septa. And they describe a set of methods for percutaneous delivery of the devices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical strain opens connexin 43 hemichannels in osteocytes: a novel mechanism for the release of prostaglandin.
Priscilla P. Cherian,Arlene J. Siller-Jackson,Sumin Gu,Xin Wang,Lynda F. Bonewald,Eugene A. Sprague,Jean X. Jiang +6 more
TL;DR: Results suggest fluid flow shear stress induces the translocation of Cx43 to the membrane surface and that unapposed hemichannels formed by Cx 43 serve as a novel portal for the release of PGE2 in response to mechanical strain.
Journal ArticleDOI
The pathogenesis of atherosclerosis: An overview
TL;DR: The atherogenic cascades so described conceptually represent arterial inflammatory and healing processes occurring in a hyperlipidemic environment.
Patent
Endoluminal device exhibiting improved endothelialization and method of manufacture thereof
Julio C. Palmaz,Eugene A. Sprague,Christina Simon,Denes Marton,Roger W. Wiseman,Christopher E. Banas +5 more
TL;DR: An implantable endoluminal device which is fabricated from materials which present a blood or body fluid and tissue contact surface which has controlled heterogeneities in material constitution is described in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
The association of elevated plasma cortisol and early atherosclerosis as demonstrated by coronary angiography
TL;DR: Plasma cortisol was second only to serum cholesterol as a discriminator in the authors' patient population between diseased and non-diseased patients and a significant correlation between plasma cortisol and cholesterol, blood pressure, and smoking- the three cardinal risk factors for CAD.
