1. Thrombolysis in vascular surgery
Sammanfattning : Background and aims: Thrombolysis is in common use in the treatment of acute forms of vascular disease. It may be used both systemically and locally, in the latter case through an endovascular approach, socalled catheter-directed thrombolysis. LÄS MER
2. Tissue engineering in blood vessels
Sammanfattning : Severely occluded coronary- and peripheral arteries, caused by atherosclerotic plaques, are treated with bypass surgery. Autologous veins are the most commonly used replacement graft. Among the patients that need a vascular bypass, 5-10% lack appropriate replacement veins due to previous surgery of bad quality of the vessels. LÄS MER
3. Engineering the shape of bacterial cellulose and its use as blood vessel replacement
Sammanfattning : Tissue loss and organ failure are major health problems that impose great costs on society. Cardiovascular diseases are responsible for 36% of mortalities and the disease burden among adults over the age of 60. The single largest cardiovascular disease is atherosclerosis in the coronary artery. LÄS MER
4. Hemodilution with dextran: Effects on blood flow and thrombus formation. An experimental study in the rabbit
Sammanfattning : Microvascular surgery enables free tissue flaps to cover tissue defects, e.g. after trauma and malignancies. Although major improvements in techniques have been made, problems with poor tissue circulation and thrombus formation still exist. LÄS MER
5. Extracellular matrix-mediated signaling in the regulation of vascular smooth muscle cell phenotype and function
Sammanfattning : Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality in the world. Even though death rates are today dropping in the developed countries, disability due to the disease is rising worldwide. The major portion of cardiovascular disease associated deaths is due to occlusive atherosclerotic lesions. LÄS MER
