    Biodegradable Stent Safe For Long-Term Treatment Of Coronary Artery Disease

    The first fully biodegradable coronary artery stent implanted in humans proved safe in a 10-year study published in Circulation, an American Heart Association journal. Stents are mesh tubes inserted into coronary arteries to help prop them open and allow for blood flow to the heart muscle. The...

    Mice Fed A High-Fat Diet Show Signs Of Artery Damage After Only Six Weeks

    High fat diets cause damage to blood vessels earlier than previously thought, and these structural and mechanical changes may be the first step in the development of high blood pressure. These findings in mice, by Marie Billaud and colleagues from the University of Virginia School of Medicine in...

    Researchers Examine Outcomes Of Carotid Artery Stenting Following Prior Carotid Endar

    A new study shows that carotid artery stenting (CAS) following prior same-side carotid artery revascularization is safe, effective and results in lower incidences of in-hospital death, stroke and heart attack compared to first-time CAS for carotid artery stenosis. This study received "Best of...
