Journal ArticleDOI
Saphenous Vein Bypass to Pedal Arteries: An Aggressive Strategy for Foot Salvage
Hobart W. Harris,Joseph H. Rapp,Linda M. Reilly,Peggy A. Orlando,William C. Krupski,Jerry Goldstone +5 more
TL;DR: Bypass to the pedal arteries yields a high rate of foot salvage and is comparable with more proximal bypass procedures; however, wound complications are common and require special technical considerations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distal filtration versus flow reversal: An ex vivo assessment of the choices for carotid embolic protection
Joseph H. Rapp,Lei Zhu,Kelsey Hollenbeck,Rajabrata Sarkar,Pauline M. Velez,Linda M. Reilly,Jade S. Hiramoto,Xian-Mang Pan +7 more
TL;DR: For POFR, high back pressures or multiple aspirations improve the efficiency of cerebral protection but additional fragments were released by pressurized flow even after aspiration of 150 mL of saline.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibition of injury induced intimal hyperplasia by saralasin in rats
TL;DR: This study tested the ability of an unrelated drug, the angiotensin II receptor antagonist saralasin, to similarly block intimal hyperplasia after aortic injury in the rat and found that weight gain during the study was reduced in groups treated with captopril and heparin but not in the group treated with Saralasin.
Journal ArticleDOI
MRI of Geometric and Compositional Features of Vulnerable Carotid Plaque
TL;DR: Noninvasive imaging of atherosclerotic disease provides a powerful opportunity to gain insight into the complex chain of events underlying atherogenesis, plaque progression, and ultimately those processes that result in atherothrombosis with accompanying clinical symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI
The upside-down zenith stent graft limb.
TL;DR: A simple technique is described for reversing the proximal and distal orientation of a standard flared bell-bottom stent graft limb from the Zenith system of abdominal aortic aneurym repair, which introduces new sources of potential device failure and requires several additional precautions.
