Inflammatory lesions should affect at least 2 distinct anatomic areas

A method for the treatment of atherosclerosis in a mammal by destruction of atheromatous plague.

All of the removed atheroma materials are collected within the device and a retention member (20) carried by the guide wire (8) and positioned in front of the cutter forms a cap to retain the collected atheroma materials.

This can be a consequence of atheromatous or radiation (exposure to radiation).

These cells are prominent in the atherosclerotic plaque.

Peripheral artery occlusive disease is just the specific expression of diffuse atherosclerosis (coronary heart disease, cerebral arteriopathy, ...).

The probe may be used for reduction and/or removal of atheromatous obstruction (30) in arteries or veins.

This iconic shot would have been nearly impossible before the Steadicam.

Smaller abdominal aortic aneurysms that have a diameter of less than 5.5 cm are typically checked on a regular basis.

Softening atheromatous (atheroma) located in sclerosed and degenerated areas of the lining of the vessels.

The photosensitizer is then illuminated at the end of this period, thereby lysing the atheromatous plaque and smooth muscles.

Clinicians now avoid the use of NSAIDs in patients with established atheromatous disease.

Recent Updates on the Use of PCSK9 Inhibitors in Patients with Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease.

These processes all interfere with atherosclerotic plaque development, vascular thrombosis, and occlusion.

By inflation of the balloon (14), the opaque blood between the balloon (14) and the atheromatous plague (16) is displaced to facilitate activation of the hematoporphyrin.
