Journal ArticleDOI
Polyunsaturated fatty acids and peripheral artery disease
S. Marlene Grenon,S. Marlene Grenon,Millie Hughes-Fulford,Millie Hughes-Fulford,Joseph H. Rapp,Joseph H. Rapp,Michael S. Conte +6 more
TL;DR: There is substantial evidence that polyunsaturated fatty acids such as n-3 and n-6 fatty acids play an important role in prevention of atherosclerosis, but evidence of beneficial effects specific to patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) remains elusive.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biochemical characterization of atherosclerotic plaque constituents using FTIR spectroscopy and histology.
Christopher Y. Li,Donna M. Ebenstein,Chun Xu,Joan M. Chapman,David Saloner,Joseph H. Rapp,Lisa A. Pruitt +6 more
TL;DR: Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy using attenuated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR) was used to assess and analyze the biochemical properties of human atherosclerotic plaques and demonstrated the evolution of lipid peaks, fibrous tissue peaks, and the phosphate calcification band within the plaques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do Microemboli Reach the Brain Penetrating Arteries
TL;DR: Rat brain has an impressive tolerance to microemboli, although this clearly varies with emboli size and number, and Wash out of particulates through AV connections is not a major factor in brain tolerance in this model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anaphylactoid reactions to vascular graft material presenting with vasodilation and subsequent disseminated intravascular coagulation.
Michael F. Roizen,George M. Rodgers,Frank H. Valone,George H. Lampe,D. J. Benefiel,Simon Gelman,Joseph H. Rapp,John M. Weiler,Maile Ota,Marc A. Shuman,Edward J. Goetzl +10 more
TL;DR: Five patients who had immediate adverse reactions following placement of a vascular graft had unusually persistent decreases in systemic vascular resistance, and four of these patients had bleeding as an early manifestation of this reaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ferumoxytol-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Angiography is a Feasible Method for the Clinical Evaluation of Lower Extremity Arterial Disease
Joy Walker,Emily V. Nosova,Monica Sigovan,Joseph H. Rapp,S. Marlene Grenon,Christopher D. Owens,Warren J. Gasper,David Saloner +7 more
TL;DR: Fe-MRA provides a useful tool in patients with suspected lower extremity PAD without the potential risks of gadolinium, the first report of an important alternative to conventional computed tomography angiography and MRA in PAD patients, particularly in the setting of renal insufficiency.
