Background Neo-intimal hyperplasia (NIH) is frequently observed after flow-diverter stent (FDS) implantation. Although mostly asymptomatic, this vascular response can sometimes lead to delayed ...

This in turn stimulates the recruitment of inflammatory cells and causes excessive neointimal hyperplasia. The proliferative neointimal response is responsible for intraluminal restenosis.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the key factors leading to death and disability worldwide. This severe challenge has prompted the scientific research and ...

12 13 Reduction of chronic inflammation, neointimal hyperplasia, and ultimately induced stenosis: as with bioresorbable coronary stents, the temporary nature of BRFDs may reduce these long-term ...

Mechanisms involved in atherosclerotic arterial remodeling include hyperplasia of the arterial intima and media, changes in vascular collagen and elastin, endothelial dysfunction, and arterial ...

Currently, there is no consensus on the most effective medical therapy for posterior circulation ischemia. To date, there have been no randomized trials studying the use of different antiplatelet ...

This paper reviews the methods, benefits and challenges associated with the adoption and translation of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling within cardiovascular medicine. CFD, a specialist ...
