Hwang CW, Levin AD, Jonas M, Li PH, Edelman ER. Thrombosis modulates arterial drug distribution for drug-eluting stents. Summary: Drug-eluting stents deliver potent compounds directly to arterial segments but can become clot laden when deployed. The question arises as to whether thrombi affect drug elution and arterial uptake. Circulation 2005 Apr 5;111(13):1619-26.

Clinical Cancer Research: Mathematical modeling and optimization of drug delivery from intratumorally injected microspheres
Tzafriri AR et al. Mathematical modeling and optimization of drug delivery from intratumorally injected microspheres. Summary: Paclitaxel is a highly promising phase-sensitive antitumor drug that could conceivably be improved by extended lower dosing as opposed to intermittent higher dosing. Although intratumoral delivery of paclitaxel to the whole tumor at different loads and rates has already been […]
TCT 2004: Abluminal bioerodable polymer stent coating, applicable at point-of-care, provides safe delivery of paclitaxel in porcine coronary arteries
Spognardi AM. ‘Abluminal bioerodable polymer stent coating, applicable at point-of-care, provides safe delivery of paclitaxel in porcine coronary arteries.’ Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics, Washington, DC, 2004.
J Theor Biol: Analysis of compartmental models of ligand-induced endocytosis
Tzafriri, A.R., D. Wu, and E.R. Edelman. Analysis of compartmental models of ligand-induced endocytosis. Summary: Kinetic models have played a pivotal role in the study of ligand-induced endocytosis. However, an analysis that suggests a systematic way to validate such models is lacking. The current work analyses the base model of ligand-induced endocytosis for three widely used […]
PNAS: Specific binding to intracellular proteins determines arterial transport properties for rapamycin and paclitaxel
Levin AD, Vukmirovic N, Hwang CW, Edelman ER. Specific binding to intracellular proteins determines arterial transport properties for rapamycin and paclitaxel. Summary: Endovascular drug-eluting stents have changed the practice of medicine, and yet it is unclear how they so dramatically reduce restenosis and how to distinguish between the different formulations available. Biological drug potency is not […]
Circulation: Liposomal Alendronate Inhibits Systemic Innate Immunity and Reduces In-Stent Neointimal Hyperplasia in Rabbits
Danenberg HD, Golomb G, Groothuis A, Gao J, Epstein H, Swaminathan RV, Seifert P, Edelman ER. Liposomal Alendronate Inhibits Systemic Innate Immunity and Reduces In-Stent Neointimal Hyperplasia in Rabbits. Summary: Innate immunity is of major importance in vascular repair. The present study evaluated whether systemic and transient depletion of monocytes and macrophages with liposome-encapsulated bisphosphonates inhibits experimental […]
Medical Physics: Dose model for stent-based delivery of a radioactive compound for the treatment of restenosis in coronary arteries
Janicki C, Hwang CW, Edelman ER. Dose model for stent-based delivery of a radioactive compound for the treatment of restenosis in coronary arteries. Summary: Radiolabeled drug-eluting stents have been proposed recently as a novel method to potentially reduce restenosis in coronary arteries. A P-32 labeled oligonucleotide (ODN) loaded on a polymer coated stent is slowly released […]
Circulation: Increased thrombosis after arterial injury in human C-reactive protein-transgenic mice
Danenberg HD, Szalai AJ, Swaminathan RV, Peng L, Chen Z, Seifert P, Fay WP, Simon DI, Edelman ER. Increased thrombosis after arterial injury in human C-reactive protein-transgenic mice. Summary: C-reactive protein (CRP), an acute-phase reactant long considered merely an innocent bystander in the inflammatory process, is now recognized as a powerful predictor of cardiovascular events. Emerging in […]
Vascular Medicine: Leukocyte recruitment and expression of chemokines following different forms of vascular injury
Welt FG, Tso C, Edelman ER, Kjelsberg MA, Paolini JF, Seifert P, Rogers C. Leukocyte recruitment and expression of chemokines following different forms of vascular injury. Summary: Inflammation plays a central role in restenosis following coronary intervention. Recent human and animal data suggest important differences between the inflammatory responses to simple balloon angioplasty compared with […]
Journal of Vascular Research: Perivascular endothelial implants inhibit intimal hyperplasia in a model of arteriovenous fistulae: a safety and efficacy study in the pig
Nugent HM, Groothuis A, Seifert P, Guerraro JL, Nedelman M, Mohanakumar T, Edelman ER. Perivascular endothelial implants inhibit intimal hyperplasia in a model of arteriovenous fistulae: a safety and efficacy study in the pig. Summary: Vascular access complications are a major problem in hemodialysis patients. Native arteriovenous fistulae, historically the preferred mode ofaccess, have a patency […]
