Is microvascular preconditioning detectable by corrosion casting in the isolated perfused rat heart after 30 minutes of ischaemia?
Ischaemia for 30 minutes induced global left ventricular capillary loss which was unmodified by preconditioning. We did not demonstrate vascular preconditioning using this model.
Nonvalved GDI surgery and GDI combined with trabeculectomy using nonabsorbable tube ligature proved to be an excellent device for any type of glaucoma in Japanese patients. Hypotony and corneal endothelial loss are the most serious complication in the long-term results of our patients.
