EVAR : critical applied aortic morphology relevant to type-II endoleaks following device enhancement in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms
(Clinics Cardiv Publishing, 2004-08)Endovascular repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) is an established alternative option to conventional surgery for AAA, provided optimal anatomical morphology of the aneurysm sac, neck and outflow exists. ... -
Morphogenetic and clinical perspectives on the neogenesis of pancreatic duct ligation-induced islet cells : a review
(Official Organ of Wroclaw University of Medicine, 2011)This review focuses on recent progress in understanding morphogenetic findings on the neogenesis of islet beta cells following Pancreatic Duct Ligation (PDL) in animal models. These results may give hope for modifications in ... -
