STED microscopy Stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy is one of the techniques that make up Super-resolution microscopy. It creates super-resolution images by the selectively deactivation of fluorophores, minimising the area of illumination at the focal point, and thus enhancing the achievable resolution for a given system.

What Is Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) or Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)? Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) or peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a slow and progressive circulation disorder. It may involve disease in any of the blood vessels outside of the heart and diseases of the lymph vessels - the arteries, veins, or lymphatic vessels.

Drug-eluting stent Drug-eluting stent. A drug-eluting stent (DES) is a peripheral or coronary stent (a scaffold) placed into narrowed, diseased peripheral or coronary arteries that slowly releases a drug to block cell proliferation.[1] This prevents fibrosis that, together with clots (thrombi), could otherwise block the stented artery, a process called restenosis.

Stent Placement What is a stent placement? A stent is a wire mesh stainless steel tube that holds an artery open and keeps it from closing again. It becomes a permanent part of your artery. Why is it necessary? Fatty deposits can block blood flow through arteries and cause pain. A piece may break off, form a clot, and cause a heart attack or stroke. A stent opens the blockage and keeps it open, which allows blood to flow smoothly. Good blood flow reduces pain and risks of clots forming. How is it done?

- Ventricular septal defect facts. VSD is a hole in the wall (septum) separating the ventricles of the heart. VSD is the most common type of heart malformation present at birth (congenital heart disease). VSD lets blood shunt from the left ventricle to the right ventricle. VSD can overwork the heart. VSD can cause excess pressure in the blood vessels to the lungs (pulmonary hypertension). VSD, if small, usually needs no treatment. VSD, if large, needs medical management and then surgery to repair the VSD.

Medical Dictionary A ventricular assist device (VAD) is a mechanical pump that's used to support heart function and blood flow in people who have weakened hearts. The device takes blood from a lower chamber of the heart and helps pump it to the body and vital organs, just as a healthy heart would.

Atrial septal defect (ASD) Atrial septal defect (ASD) Atrial septal defect (ASD) is a heart defect that is present at birth (congenital). As a baby develops in the womb, a wall (septum) forms that divides the upper chamber into a left and right atrium. An abnormal formation of this wall can result in a defect that remains after birth. This is called an atrial septal defect, or ASD.
