Calcification is the deposition of calcium into the neointima (within atherosclerotic plaque) and/or the tunica media (the medial smooth muscle layer) of the blood vessels, and can occur with ...

Severely calcified coronary artery lesions are encountered increasingly frequently in clinical practice. The technical challenges faced by the interventional cardiologist in the treatment of these ...

Objective: To investigate the relationship between Visceral Fat Area (VFA) and cardiac valve calcification (CVC) in Maintenance Hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Methods: This cross-sectional study ...

The trial seeks to enrol up to 158 subjects with moderate-to-severely calcified, stenotic de novo coronary artery lesions. Credit: Pixel-Shot / Shutterstock. Johnson & Johnson (J&J) MedTech’s ...

An electron microscopy image of multicellular magnetotactic bacteria that featured on the covers of the 2022 edition of The ISME Journal. The image was produced by Schaible and co-workers under the ...

J&J’s new pivotal study in coronary artery disease, dubbed FORWARD CAD, will test a cardiac-focused version of the Javelin as a first-line treatment for narrowed, calcified vessels to make way ...

The choroid plexus (CP) regulates central nervous system (CNS) immune homeostasis and undergoes volumetric modifications possibly contributing to MS-related fatigue. We explored the association ...

The laser- and optics-based Bolt peripheral IVL system was developed for the treatment of both ATK and below-the-knee (BTK) calcified lesions. Data supporting the use of the platform in lower ...

IVL uses sound waves to break up calcified portions of vessels. The high-frequency, pulsatile pressure fragments calcium lesions using a balloon-based system and helps restore vessel patency.

“Before what we would do is we would go around in a circle and we would get the mammograms afterward and say, ‘oh, I think we got those micro calcifications,” said Buckner. “Then we would have to take ...
