Regulatory T (Treg) cells play a protective role in experimental atherosclerosis. In the present study, we investigated whether levels of circulating Treg relate to degree atherosclerosis carotid and coronary arteries.We studied 2 distinct populations: (1) 113 subjects, selected from free-living population (carotid study), which measured intima-media thickness common artery, as surrogate marker initial atherosclerosis; (2) 75 controls 125 patients with artery disease (coronary study): 36...
Cardiovascular mortality and morbidity are major problems in type 1 diabetic patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The aim of this study was to determine whether islet transplantation can improve cardiovascular function these patients.We assessed various markers cardiac at baseline 3 years later a population 42 ESRD who received kidney transplant. Seventeen then an transplant that had persistent as defined by long-term C-peptide secretion (kidney-islet group). Twenty-five did not...
Cell therapy with autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PB-MNCs) may help restore limb perfusion in patients diabetes mellitus and critical limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) deemed not eligible for revascularization procedures consequently at risk major amputation (no-option). Fundamental is to establish its clinical value identify candidates a greater benefit over time. Assessing the frequency of PB circulating angiogenic extracellular vesicles (EVs) guiding candidate selection.We...
Objectives To ascertain whether invasive assessment of coronary physiology soon after recanalisation the culprit artery by primary percutaneous intervention is associated with development microvascular obstruction cardiac magnetic resonance in patients ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods Between November 2020 and December 2021, 102 consecutive were prospectively enrolled five tertiary centres Italy. Coronary flow reserve (CFR) index resistance (IMR) measured vessel...
Feasibility of revascularization type D femoropopliteal and long infrapopliteal lesions by angioplasty (peripheral translumenal [PTA]) in diabetic patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) according to the TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus (TASC) II recommendations was studied. A total 292 were admitted for CLI; 308 limbs underwent a PTA. Out 211 treated PTA, 44 TASC A, 45 B, 48 C, 76 lesions. In revascularized no artery patent down foot before 172 all arteries occluded, carried out 167...
We investigated the use of CROSSER catheter, a CTO crossing device based upon high frequency mechanical vibration, as first resort to treat patients with chronic total occlusions (CTO) while describing angiographic and computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) serving predictors for success.Eighty consecutive were enrolled in this prospective multicentre registry treated CTO. For 76.3% patients, was attempt open Overall success rate 75%. By conventional angiography, length occlusion...
Prospective single-arm study, aimed at evaluating safety and effectiveness 12 24 months of the paclitaxel-eluting nitinol stent (Zilver PTX), focused in particular on treatment complex lesions and/or diabetic patients.Between May 2010 March 2012, 67 patients (78% males) were treated by Zilver PTX, because stenosis or occlusions superficial femoral artery one two centers. The mean age was 70.1±8 years. Thirty-two (48%) diabetics, 14 (21%) active smokers 11 (14.6%) had chronic renal failure...
