This paper details an under-development animal model to study the vascular pathology of vein grafts in a variation of the initial Carrel canine bypass experiment. The possible findings on detrimental effects of hydrostatic distention, if...

This is an open access genomic study of carotid atheroma in Viennese patients with a useful extensive discussion on potential translational value of the signature of calcification, juxtaposed to sonographic...
There could be some translational value for cardiovascular surgical practice from this prospective cardiovascular health study. The mechanistic link warrants further investigation and interpretation.
...This is an interesting, well-written account of pooled results of two medium-size RCTs . It would be interesting to see a third arm of optimum medical therapy in follow-up studies...
Interesting to follow up the translational potential of this rodent-model of carotid intimal re-hyperplasia/stenosis.
...A very easy-to-read editorial that digests a manuscript on the IMPROVE study. The study suggests an association of this group of enzymes to the Matrix Metalloproteinases and hence a theory...
The International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection investigators analyzed the impact of cerebral malperfusion (CM) on the surgical outcomes of acute type A dissection in 2402 patients. The incidence of...
The association of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality with optimism was assessed in this meta-analysis. Optimism was associated with a decreased risk of cardiovascular events (ROR 0.65) and a decrease...
A number of interesting findings in early follow up of this randomized controlled trial on one type of transcatheter aortic valve against conventional surgery: the mechanics of the valve and...
The American College of Cardiology’s 68th Annual Scientific Session has released the 2019 ACC/AHA Guideline on the Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease. This guideline includes newly generated recommendations for control...
Researchers from the University of British Columbia, Seattle and Belgium successfully used a new approach that significantly minimized brain damage caused by ischemic stroke in mouse models. The new approach...
This review summarizes the current understanding of the inherited basis for aortic aneurysmal disease and clearly highlights the need to differentiate between thoracic and abdominal aortic manifestations. Approximately 20% of...
