Hydrophilic polymer coating delamination during neurointerventional treatment after microcatheter withdrawal: particulate identification through attenuated total reflection Fourier... by Sebastian J. Müller, Sebastian J. Müller, Pablo Albiña-Palmarola, Stefan Konieczny, Gregor Manke, Sebastian Fischer, Sebastian Fischer, Hans Henkes, Hans Henkes

“…During both in vivo and in vitro observations, the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone, a hydrophilic polymer commonly used for intravascular devices manufacture, was confirmed inside the RHV, and its origin was traced back to the surface coating of the distal and middle portions of the Prowler Select Plus microcatheter. This constitutes the first clinical report where hydrophilic coating dislodgement is linked to the microcatheter withdrawal maneuver using a specific microcatheter type, further replicated in an in vitro setting.…”

Epigenetic Changes in Endothelial Progenitors as a Possible Cellular Basis for Glycemic Memory in Diabetic Vascular Complications by Poojitha Rajasekar, Christina L. O’Neill, Lydia Eeles, Alan W. Stitt, Reinhold J. Medina

“…In addition, we comment on the importance of endothelial progenitors and their role as endogenous vasoreparative cells that are negatively impacted by the diabetic milieu and may constitute a “carrier” of glycemic memory. Considering the potential of endothelial progenitor-based cytotherapies, future studies on their glycemic memory are warranted to develop epigenetics-based therapeutics targeting diabetic vascular complications.…”
