Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are vascular abnormalities in the brain characterized by clusters of dilated blood vessels that can lead to various neurological symptoms, including ...

Cerebral vascular malformations (CVMs), including cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and cavernous malformations (CCMs), have long posed challenges due to their complex origins and severe ...

Evidence-based recommendations on intravascular lithotripsy to treat calcified coronary arteries during percutaneous coronary intervention. This involves using ultrasound shockwaves to break up hard ...

In patients greater than age 65, more than 90% of aortic stenosis involves trileaflet valves which have developed heavy calcification. [5] In these instances the calcium deposits are thought to ...

The following is a summary of “Risk factors for visual loss after excision of orbital cavernous venous malformations: a systematic review,” published in the January 2025 issue of Ophthalmology by ...

It means imaging does not show a buildup of calcified plaque in the heart’s blood vessels. Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores show the calcium level in the arteries. CAC levels can help ...

Introduction: Mouse models have been a valuable tool for studying the molecular mechanisms driving cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) pathogenesis. However, genetically modified mouse models do not ...

Background: Cavernous malformations are common vascular abnormalities of the central nervous system, but cavernous malformations of the cerebral aqueduct are rare. The choice of treatment is ...

Background Orbital cavernous venous malformations (OCVMs) are the most common primary orbital mass lesion and presenting symptoms are usually secondary to a mass effect. Surgical excision presents ...

Results We found that OA progressed by both top-down calcification at the joint surface and bottom-up calcification at the osteochondral interface. The top-down calcification process started with ...
