A simple percutaneous technique for hemostasis and closure after transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
Published in Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions
Access closure is a key element to successful retrograde percutaneous transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation. It requires large-bore femoral arterial access (18Fr-28Fr) which most operators manage with surgical access and closure under general anesthesia. We report a case example of how, using our center s peripheral interventional ex...
Towards component-based validation of GATE: aspects of the coincidence processor.
Published in Physica Medica
GATE is public domain software widely used for Monte Carlo simulation in emission tomography. Validations of GATE have primarily been performed on a whole-system basis, leaving the possibility that errors in one sub-system may be offset by errors in others. We assess the accuracy of the GATE PET coincidence generation sub-system in isolation, focus...

Routine screening for CYP2C19 polymorphisms for patients being treated with clopidogrel is not recommended.
Published in Hawai i journal of medicine & public health : a journal of Asia Pacific Medicine & Public Health
Recent efforts directed at potential litigation in Hawai i have resulted in a renewed interest for genetic screening for cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) polymorphisms in patients treated with clopidogrel. Clopidogrel is an antiplatelet agent, frequently used in combination with aspirin, for the prevention of thrombotic complications with acute coron...
Growth factors and their relationship to neoplastic and paraneoplastic disease.
Published in European Journal of Internal Medicine
Growth factors are extracellular signaling molecules that act in an autocrine and paracrine fashion to regulate growth, proliferation, differentiation, and survival of cells. Dysregulation of the growth factor networks is intimately related to the molecular pathogenesis of neoplastic and paraneoplastic disease. Increasing knowledge of the molecular...
Multivessel peripheral revascularization for acute stroke intervention: successful M2 bifurcation stenting and the growi...
Published in Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions
A comprehensive endovascular skill set is desirable and key to successful intervention in the patient with complex cardiovascular disease. Acute stroke intervention is the next frontier for the endovascular specialist. We report a case of acute stroke intervention in a patient with severe peripheral vascular disease performed by interventional card...
