      Some conditions are well known to be directly associated with stent failure, including in-stent re-occlusion and stent fracture. Currently, identification of these high-risk conditions requires invasive and complex procedures. ...
    • Noninvasive assessment of an engineered bioactive graft in myocardial infarction: impact on cardiac function and scar healing 

      Gálvez Montón, Carolina; Bragós Bardia, Ramon; Soler Botija, Carolina; Díaz Güemes, Idoia; Prat Vidal, Cristina; Crisóstomo, Verónica; Sánchez Margallo, Francisco M.; Llucia Valldeperes, A.; Bogónez-Franco, Paco; Perea Gil, Isaac; Roura, Santiago; Bayés Genis, Antoni (2016-09-02)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Cardiac tissue engineering, which combines cells and biomaterials, is promising for limiting the sequelae of myocardial infarction (MI). We assessed myocardial function and scar evolution after implanting an engineered ...
