Researchers at NIH and Emory School of Medicine have successfully performed a minimally invasive coronary artery bypass without cutting the chest wall. The new technique, called ventriculo-coronary transcatheter outward navigation and re-entry (VECTOR), creates a new route for blood flow that is safe from potential blockages.
A study of 2,201 patients after heart bypass surgery showed that dual antiplatelet therapy with ticagrelor and aspirin did not reduce cardiovascular risks but increased the risk of excessive bleeding. The results contradict current guidelines recommending dual therapy for these patients.
A study published in Chinese Neurosurgical Journal found that the Neuroform Atlas stent-assisted coiling procedure is safe and effective for treating intracranial aneurysms in arteries less than 2.5 mm in diameter, with favorable outcomes and low postoperative complication rates.
A team of scientists has found that the ion channel PIEZO2 is crucial for coronary vessel formation and heart development. Without PIEZO2, coronary arteries may develop improperly, leading to oxygen supply issues in the heart muscle. This discovery could lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart defects.
Researchers found that intestinal bacteria and their metabolites can accelerate blood vessel aging and trigger cardiovascular disease. The breakdown product of phenylalanine, phenylacetic acid, accumulates with age and leads to senescence of endothelial cells.
Researchers develop smartphone-adaptable tool to measure impact of nicotine-infused e-cigarettes on cardiovascular health. The study reveals vaping with nicotine accelerates vascular aging and impairs left ventricle function.
A novel bypass route for coronary vessels in the heart has been discovered using the VEGF-B growth factor, which can stimulate new blood vessel growth in damaged areas. This finding opens up possibilities for treating myocardial infarction by re-activating embryonic vessel growth programs.
A new study from Karolinska Institutet found that CABG reduces the risk of fatal heart disease and myocardial infarction in patients with type 1 diabetes by 45% and 47% respectively, compared to PCI.
Researchers at Children's Hospital Los Angeles identified a new source of cells that can develop into coronary vessels and found the signaling protein CXCL12 guiding this process. The study may have clinical relevance, helping diagnose abnormal coronary vessels and developing interventional strategies to prevent heart attacks.
