Although procedure-related morbidity and mortality have improved with the advent of endovascular repair, noninvasive treatment and improved assessment of AAA rupture risk should still be sought. Several cellular pathways seem contributory to the histopathologic changes that drive AAA growth and rupture. Hypoxia inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α) is an oxygen-sensitive protein that accumulates in the cytoplasm under hypoxic conditions and regulates a wide array of downstream effectors to hypoxia. Examining the potential role of HIF-1α in the pathogenesis of AAAs is alluring, because local hypoxia is known to be present in the AAA vessel wall. A systematic scoping review was performed to review the current evidence regarding the role of HIF-1α in AAA disease in vivo. After screening, 17 studies were included in the analysis. Experimental animal studies and human studies show increased HIF-1α activity in AAA tissue compared with healthy aorta and a correlation of HIF-1α activity with key histopathologic features of AAA disease. In vivo HIF-1α inhibition in animals protects against AAA development and growth. One study reveals a positive correlation between HIF-1α–activating genetic polymorphisms and the risk of AAA disease in humans. The main findings suggest a causal role of HIF-1α in the pathogenesis of AAAs in vivo. Further research into the HIF-1α pathway in AAA disease might reveal clinically applicable pharmacologic targets or biomarkers relevant in the treatment and monitoring of AAA disease.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":74035,"journal":{"name":"JVS-vascular science","volume":"5 ","pages":"Article 100189"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666350323000937/pdfft?md5=e74bfdf09e3161db2aaec1f065cf1e87&pid=1-s2.0-S2666350323000937-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139194076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Biventricular (BV) PV loops allow left and right ventricular function to be quantified simultaneously and independently, which is important for conditions and certain physiologic states, such as ventricular decoupling or acute physiologic changes. BV PV loops can be performed in an entirely endovascular, percutaneous, and closed-chest setting. This technique is helpful in a survival animal model, as a percutaneous monitoring system during endovascular device experiments, or in cases where chest wall compliance is being tested or may be a confounder. In this article, we describe the end-to-end implementation of a completely endovascular, totally percutaneous, and closed-chest large animal model to obtain contemporaneous BV PV loops in 40 to 70 kg swine. We describe the associated surgical and technical challenges and our solutions to obtaining endovascular BV PV loops, closed-chest cardiac output, and stroke volume (including validation of the correction factor necessary for thermodilution), as well as how to perform endovascular inferior vena cava occlusion in this swine model. We also include techniques for data acquisition and analysis that are required for this method.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":74035,"journal":{"name":"JVS-vascular science","volume":"5 ","pages":"Article 100190"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666350324000014/pdfft?md5=e902bcba624ca754a31ab13d638a2cee&pid=1-s2.0-S2666350324000014-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139639781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
