Does cardiac allograft rejection correlate with increased expressions of Toll-like receptors 2 and 4 and allograft inflammatory factor 1?
Our data demonstrated that expression profiles of AIF-1 and TLR-2 correlated with biopsy-proven allograft rejection in both peripheral blood and local tissue, suggesting their potential as diagnostic biomarkers for early detection of allograft rejection.
Malpositioned stents that are hindering an endoluminal procedure may be crushed against the arterial wall in vivo to facilitate passage of endovascular instruments or devices.
