A Staged Revascularization Strategy for Chronic Limb‐Threatening Ischemia With GLASS Stage IMP2 Disease: Distal Bypass Following Infrapopliteal/Pedal Endovascular Therapy

Patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) and Global Limb Anatomic Staging System (GLASS) stage IMP2 disease often lack suitable inframalleolar target arteries for distal bypass on conventional imaging, rendering them technically ungraftable. We adopted a staged reva...

Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Formation Adhering to Cholesterol Crystals Modulates Inflammatory Cytokines Release and Promotes Their Disruption: Insights In Situ Touch-imprints Method From Non-obstructive General Angioscopy

Both macrophages and neutrophils are recognized as innate immune cells; the former engulf cholesterol crystals (CCs) while secreting NLRP3, which also promote inflammatory responses and drive the latter into atherosclerotic plaques. Moreover, recent studies have implied a critica...
