PERIPHERAL ARTERY DISEASE (PAD) – EXPERIMENTAL AND COMPUTATIONAL MODELING

pcrecourse2020header

Join CBSET at the PCR e-Course 2020, a new digital initiative for the interventional cardiovascular community, consisting of 3 days of interactive education & innovation in interventional cardiovascular medicine, where a number of presentations will be concentrating on the latest research in peripheral artery disease (PAD).

The upcoming innovative e-Course will be spreading the latest scientific news and best practices all across the globe, on a fully complimentary basis.

CBSET is committed to the development of novel experimental and computational models for defining the barrier effects of tissue components on drugs of interest and evaluating novel endovascular therapies. CBSET's scientists have published a range of data and analyses on PAD treatments and related therapies.

Contact us to schedule an e-meeting with the researchers and authors behind some of the most advanced preclinical models for PAD in the field.

    RamiCRT2019Innovation3WATCH: At CRT19, CBSET’s Director of Research and Innovation, Rami Tzafriri, PhD, was interviewed by Michael Mooney, MD, of Minneapolis Heart Institute, Abbott Northwestern hospital about CBSET’s PAD preclinical study: Enhanced Plaque Modification of Cadaveric Human Calcified Peripheral Arteries Treated with a Vessel Preparation System. In this interview, Rami discusses CBSET’s human cadaver model assessment of a vessel preparation system and the attributes of this particular technology that suggest it might be conducive to enhancing drug absorption.
