SirPAD Analysis to Examine Sirolimus-Coated Balloon Treatment for Femoropopliteal Artery Disease
LAS VEGAS — A new analysis from the SirPAD randomised clinical trial will examine the use of a sirolimus-coated balloon in patients with femoropopliteal peripheral artery disease (PAD) and intermittent claudication, focusing on a group for whom treatment is intended to improve symptoms as well as prevent serious limb complications. The findings are scheduled to …

Article in press: GPR65 protects adipose-derived stem cell therapy against acidosis in hindlimb ischemia | #MolecularMedicine #Ischemia #StemCells #PeripheralArteryDisease link.springer.com/article/10.1...
Figure 4 Metabolic alterations and therapeutic effects of GPR65-OE ADSCs in a mouse model of hindlimb ischemia. (A) Workflow of the hindlimb ischemia experiment on mice receiving conditional treatments. After the surgery, microdialysis was used to determine the metabolic level in response to hindlimb ischemia. Subsequently, cell suspension containing 1×106 of ADSCs, vector ASDCs, GPR65 OE ADSCs or an equal volume of medium control was injected into three sites of ischemic area in the same day. To trace the metabolic alterations in ischemic tissues, microdialysis was also carried out at Days 1, 2 and 3 after transplantation. The blood flow perfusion was analyzed by Laser Doppler ultrasound imaging before (Day -1) and after surgery (Day 0, 1, 3, 7 and 14). All mice were sacrificed at Day 14 and muscle samples were harvested for further examinations. (B-D) Metabolites concentration including lactate, glucose and pyruvate in ischemic muscles .....

📊 In #PeripheralArteryDisease care, physician implicit racial bias was not associated with guideline-concordant #VascularCare, suggesting that clear and monitored guidelines may reduce disparities.

Forest plots show physician bias effect on patient incidence. A) Guideline practices: little difference across white/black patients, no/pro-Black, pro-White biases. B) Nonguideline procedures: Pro-White bias leads to lower incidence for white patients (AOR 0.84) but significantly higher incidence for black patients (AOR 1.67).

📊 In patients with #PeripheralArteryDisease who smoked at diagnosis, quitting smoking was associated with lower risk of major adverse cardiovascular and limb events. Smoking reduction without cessation showed no significant benefit.

Two line graphs. Graph A (MACCEs): Reducer has highest cumulative incidence (~30%), then Maintainer (~25%), then Quitter (~20%) over 11 years. Graph B (MALES): Maintainer highest (~2.8%), then Reducer (~2.7%), then Quitter (~2.5%). Both include "No. at risk" tables.
