Does large oversizing of self-expandable endoprostheses compensate for aortic growth?
Large oversizing of self-expandable EPs is essential in order to maintain a large perfused lumen during aortic growth, thereby minimizing the adverse effect of intimal hyperplasia. This was best achieved by the TalentLoPro EPs.
These findings suggest that alpha-RyR and beta-RyR provide distinct intracellular Ca(2+) signals in a myogenic cell line. These distinct properties may also occur in frog skeletal muscle and will be important for E-C coupling.
