The evaluation items were 30-day mortality, 30-day major amputation, prevention from distal embolization, and thrombus capture rate.

The mean age was 74.4 ± 10.3 years, 53.2% were men, 55.8% were diabetic, and 9.1% were on hemodialysis. The mean lesion length was 199.5 ± 94.4 mm; 79.2% were class C/D lesions (TASC II classificatio…[Read more]

Various overlapping regions associated with the quantitative traits suggested QTL hotspots. In addition, we were able to map one locus that controls apospory (apo-locus) in HG II. A total of 55 different gene families involved in cellular metabolism and plant growth were identified from markers adjacent to the QTLs and APOSPORY locus using the…[Read more]
