Coil occlusion versus conventional surgical closure of patent ductus arteriosus

The American Journal of Cardiology
T P SinghM Hakimi

Abstract

This retrospective cohort study evaluated the clinical outcome and cost-effectiveness of 2 treatment strategies for children with an isolated restrictive patent ductus arteriosus. Results indicate a superior cost-effectiveness of transcatheter coil occlusion compared with conventional surgery for these patients.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
