Adipose-Derived Stem Cells Stimulate Reendothelialization in Stented Rat Abdominal Aorta

Insulin Resistance as a Predictor of the Late Catch-up Phenomenon After Drug-Eluting Stent Implantation

“…late catch-up phenomenon rate was significantly greater in Group P than in Group N. Stent implantation per se causes persistent inflammation of the tissues around the stent, because the stent is a foreign material and it continually stretches the vascular wall. 13 The findings in this study suggested that neointimal tissue proliferation through inflammation might be promoted by IR even after DES implantation in the long-term.…”

Adipose-Derived Regenerative Cells for Cardiovascular Regeneration – A Novel Therapy for the Cardiac Conduction System –

“…5 Experimentally, Shiba et al recently reported that transplantation of ADRCs showed potential for not only improving cardiac function but also electrical stability in a rat model of myocardial infarction. 6 There are also a number of animal studies demonstrating the ability of ADRCs to induce angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, reendothelialization and cardiac regeneration in the setting of peripheral artery disease (PAD), 7 lymphedema, 8 vascular injury, 9 and ischemic heart disease. 10 The PRECISE trial was the firstin-human trial involving myocardial injection of ADRCs for chronic ischemic heart failure.…”
