    Relationship between right and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction assessed by 2-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography in adults with repaired tetralogy of Fallot

    Several studies have reported a correlation between right ventricular (RV) and left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction in adults with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). However, data are lacking regarding ...

    Isolated aneurysm of the proximal right subclavian artery treated with consideration toward cerebral circulation and vasculature

    A 65-year-old man with an isolated aneurysm of the proximal right subclavian artery (SCA) (diameter, 50 mm) was successfully treated with a deliberate surgical strategy described here. Because of the occluded ...

    Enhanced angiogenesis by gelatin hydrogels incorporating basic fibroblast growth factor in rabbit model of hind limb ischemia

    Recently we have developed new sustained release system of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) using gelatin hydrogel as a carrier. Using this system, we examined the effect of topical sustained release of b...

    Synergistic effect of combined intramyocardial CD34+ cells and VEGF2 gene therapy after MI

    Previous studies have shown that local angiogenic gene therapy acts, in part, by recruiting endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) to ischemic tissue. Recent data indicate that patients with the most severe vascu...

    Sonic hedgehog myocardial gene therapy: tissue repair through transient reconstitution of embryonic signaling

    Sonic hedgehog (Shh) is a crucial regulator of organ development during embryogenesis. We investigated whether intramyocardial gene transfer of naked DNA encoding human Shh (phShh) could promote a favorable ef...

    Intramyocardial sustained delivery of basic fibroblast growth factor improves angiogenesis and ventricular function in a rat infarct model

     Recently we have demonstrated that the release of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) from a biodegradable gelatin hydrogel carrier depends on the degradation of hydrogel in vivo. The purpose of our study w...

    Myocardial ischemia enhances the expression of acidic fibroblast growth factor in human pericardial fluid

    Acidic fibroblast growth factor (FGF) is a potent mitogen that can induce angiogenesis in vivo. We have recently reported a marked increase of basic FGF in the pericardial fluid of patients with severe corona...
