CRT 2020: Procedural and Anatomical Determinants of Multi-Electrode Renal Denervation: Preclinical Versus Clinical

Abraham R.Tzafriri. ‘Procedural and Anatomical Determinants of Multi-Electrode Renal Denervation: Preclinical Versus Clinical.’  Summary: The failure of the prospective, randomized, sham-controlled SYMPLICITY HTN-3 trial to show significant difference in reduction of systolic BP (SBP) in patients with resistant hypertension 6 months after RDN compared to controls was attributed in part to procedural limitations in first generation […]

9th Bio-Fluid Symposium: Transient subject-specific drug delivery in stented arteries: physics-based simulation of controlled release and retention

Farhad Rikhtegar Nezami, Abraham R. Tzafriri, Elazer R.Edelman. ‘Transient subject-specific drug delivery in stented arteries: physics-based simulation of controlled release and retention.’  Summary: Drug-eluting stents are the mainstay therapy for obstructive arterial disease, yet further innovation is hampered by cost and lack of experimental techniques. In silico models, akin to what developed here, offer flexible and […]
