Hemodynamic stress and experimental aortoiliac atherosclerosis.

Journal Article J Vasc Surg · March 1994 PURPOSE: Human aortic atherosclerosis is predominantly localized to the infrarenal aorta where flow is bidirectional and wall shear stress oscillates. Similar flow patterns have been related to carotid atherosclerosis. The thoracic aorta is usually spared, ... Full text Link to item Cite

The effect of hypercholesterolemia on early atherosclerotic lesions initiated by fibrinopeptide B.

Journal Article J Surg Res · December 1991 Hypercholesterolemia and thrombosis have been implicated as factors in the development of atherosclerosis. Fibrinopeptide B (FPB) is a short chain peptide cleaved from fibrinogen during the production of fibrin. FPB is a known chemoattractant and has been ... Full text Link to item Cite

Role of fibrinopeptide B in early atherosclerotic lesion formation.

Journal Article Am J Surg · August 1990 The development of atherosclerotic lesions involves many cell types, including macrophages. Fibrinopeptide B (FPB) has been shown to be a potent chemotactic agent for macrophages, which are abundant as intimal foam cells in atherosclerotic lesions, especia ... Full text Link to item Cite

Depletion of myocardial high energy phosphates by induction of ventricular fibrillation prior to cardioplegic arrest.

Journal Article J Cardiovasc Surg (Torino) · 1990 The effects of a short period of ventricular fibrillation on myocardial high energy phosphates were assessed in two groups of rats. Group 1 underwent hypothermic crystalloid cardioplegia infusion and aortic cross-clamping. In Group 2, cardioplegia and cros ... Link to item Cite

Congenital left atrial aneurysm in an infant.

Journal Article J Pediatr Surg · March 1989 Congenital left atrial aneurysm, without associated cardiac abnormalities, is a rare defect. We report the case of a large left atrial aneurysm filling almost the entire left hemothorax. This is the first report of this anomaly occurring in an infant less ... Full text Link to item Cite

Pleuro-peritoneal shunting. Alternative therapy for pleural effusions.

Journal Article Ann Surg · October 1988 Pleural effusions are resistant to standard therapy, which causes discomfort and can require prolonged hospitalization. As an alternative, pleuroperitoneal shunting for pleural effusions of various etiologies was evaluated. We implanted 36 shunts in 29 pat ... Full text Link to item Cite

Preservation of myocardial high energy phosphates during cardioplegic arrest with nifedipine.

Journal Article J Surg Res · March 1988 Nifedipine used both as an additive to cardioplegia solution (CPS) and as pretreatment prior to arrest was studied in a rat model to determine its effect upon ischemic ventricular electromechanical work during arrest and upon high energy phosphate levels. ...
