Introduction of novel intravascular ultrasound preceding with angled guiding catheter (I-PAD) technique to treat chronic total occlusions in peripheral artery disease

Abstract Background The optimal endovascular treatment (EVT) for chronic total occlusion (CTO) lesions in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) has remained unestablished.We encountered a patient with PAD in whom CTO was successfully treated using a novel technique that involved intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and angled guiding catheter: I

Multi-constraint non-negative matrix factorization for community detection: orthogonal regular sparse constraint non-negative matrix factorization

Abstract Community detection is an VOLUMEA VOLUMIZING FOAM important method to analyze the characteristics and structure of community networks, which can excavate the potential links between nodes and further discover subgroups from complex networks.However, most of the existing methods only unilaterally consider the direct link topology without co
