Abstract
Angioplasty and stenting have become routine practice for the treatment of significant obstructive atherosclerotic vascular disease. This method of revascularization has a longer history concerning coronary artery disease but is becoming an increasingly used modality of revascularization in the peripheral circulation. Neointimal formation is the pathological basis for restenosis after revascularization procedures such as angioplasty, stenting, and bypass grafting. While restenosis is less of a problem in the coronary circulation with the advent of drug-eluting stents, it continues to be a problem however in the peripheral arterial system. Current treatments to prevent restenosis include pharmacologic, mechanical and cellular approaches which we will discuss in this manuscript.

Medicinal Plants with Beneficial Properties on Diabetes and Hypertension
Diabetes and hypertension are real scourges of the 21st century. It is imperative to act in order to find innovative solutions to this problem. Taking medications such as hypoglycemic and antihypertensive drugs may aggravate certain underlying comorbidities, such as chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease. This significant drawback therefore requires ...read more
