In this patient, optical coherence tomography disclosed that ruptured and complicated neoatherosclerosis was the underlying substrate responsible for the episode of very-late ...
Mannose binding lectin is a lectin instrumental in the innate immunity. It recognizes carbohydrate patterns found on the surface of a large number of pathogenic micro-organisms, activating the complement system. However, this protein seems to increase the tissue damage after ischemia. In this paper is re...

CONTEXTO: A reestenose intra-stent ocorre pela hiperplasia mio-intimal excessiva, reobstruindo a luz do vaso. O tratamento existente no SUS consiste na angioplastia através de cateter balão comum, stent não farmacológico e intervenção cirúrgica para revascularização. Considerando que o stent é ...
The VALVACE trial suggests that prevention of in-stent-restenosis after implantation of bare-metal stents is possible by administration of 80mg valsartan exclusively in those patients with initial acute coronary syndrome and diabetes. The hypothesis was tested whether higher dosage valsartan is able to r...
