Aim:The aim of the study was to carry out a review of published studies on various platelet products in Iranian studies.Materials & methods:Electronic databases were searched for relevant articles. Two review authors independently extracted data via a tested extraction sheet, and disagreements were resolved by a meeting with a third review author.Results:Bone disorders (25%), wound and fistula (16%), dental and gingival disorders (14%) and osteoarthritis (11%) have more relative frequency based on different fields.Conclusion:The necessity of pursuing standard protocols in the preparation of platelet products, stating the precise content of platelets and growth factors, and long-term follow-up of study subjects were the most important points in Iranian studies.
Introduction: Severe presentation of concomitant carotid, coronary, and peripheral arteriosclerosis is not a common finding. However, some studies have reported surgical and noninvasive interventions for this condition. Case Presentation: Herein, we present a patient with concomitant carotid, coronary, and peripheral arteriosclerosis, who underwent angioplasty in Tehran, Iran in November 2015. Some studies have been carried out on surgical and percutaneous coronary, carotid and peripheral intervention for concomitant lesions; however, reports about percutaneous coronary, carotid and peripheral intervention, similar to the present case, are not available. Conclusions: Due to lack of evidence on the prevalence and management of concomitant multifocal coronary, carotid, and limb arteriosclerosis, it is necessary to perform well-designed studies on such groups of patients to define proper management (surgical versus endovascular interventions), periprocedural complications, as well as short-and long-term outcomes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
