Successful Management of Guidewire Kinking in a Patient With Subaortic Septal Bulging Using the Pull-Through Technique During Transapical Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation.

A large number of clinical trials of therapeutic angiogenesis in patients with critical limb ischemia have been conducted in recent years. However, limb amputation, which is used as a primary endpoint in such studies, is not often required in Japan, which can make it difficult to carry out related clinical trials. Transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO2) is widely used to evaluate the severity of limb ischemia, to decide the level of amputation, and to predict wound healing after limb amputation. The aim of the present study was to elucidate whether TcPO2 can be a surrogate index of limb ischemia, and to define an appropriate cutoff value for wound healing after limb amputation using meta-analysis.

Transcutaneous oxygen pressure as a surrogate index of lower limb amputation.

MicroRNA-145 (miR-145) reportedly alters the phenotype of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) from a proliferative to a contractile state. So far, viral or plasmid vectors have been experimentally used to transduce microRNAs into VSMCs. We hypothesized that a simple ex vivo microRNA delivery system using miR-145-loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (PLGA NPs) could control the VSMC phenotype and prevent intimal hyperplasia.
