balloon (PEB) for the treatment of sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) restenosis. Background …

Background—We have noted abnormal angiographic findings—at the sites of drug-eluting
stent implantation, suggesting contrast staining outside the stent struts—that do not fulfill the …

Objective: Hypoxia-inducible factor 1, a regulator of CA IX activity, is often overexpressed in
human osteosarcoma (OS) but not in normal tissues, and its expression levels correlate with …
