Use of the radial artery graft after transradial catheterization: is it suitable as a bypass conduit?
Transradial catheterization reduced early graft patency and caused intimal hyperplasia, although it did not affect early clinical outcomes. We suggest that the use of the radial artery as a bypass conduit after transradial catheterization should be undertaken cautiously.
Pancreatic stellate cells are activated on exposure to ethanol. This effect of ethanol is most likely mediated by its metabolism (via ADH) to acetaldehyde and the generation of oxidant stress within the cells.
