Abstract: A system and a method for treating a vein. The system is a curable composition with a mixture of N-butal Cyanoacrylate and/or 2-Octyl Cyanoacrylate with a photo initiator and the method provides steps of introducing the mixture into a patient to decrease the patient's procedure time and increase the bond strength between a vein's endothelial linings.

Abstract: Systems and methods treat superficial venous malformations, such as spider veins. The systems and methods distribute a light-reactive agent, e.g., verteporfin, at or near an inner wall of a vein. The systems and methods activate the light-reactive agent by applying non-thermal light energy at a wavelength that activates the light-reactive agent to cause localize injury to the inner wall of the vein.

Abstract: A dosage regimen for treating vascular disease in a human comprising the steps of administering a loading dosage of about 30 mg to 70 mg of loading dose of prasugrel or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and thereafter administering a daily dosage regimen of about 7.5 mg to 15 mg maintenance dose of prasugrel or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Abstract: This invention relates to the use of glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) compounds to reduce the mortality and morbidity associated with critical illnesses wherein a patient is predisposed to or suffers from some type of respiratory distress.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of treatment for patients with a variety of thrombotic disorders including, but not limited to, stroke, venous thrombosis, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, abrupt closure following angioplasty or stent placement, and thrombosis as a result of peripheral vascular surgery. Said treatment is a combination therapy with human aPC and antiplatelet agents including, but not limited to, aspirin (ASA), clopidogrel, ReoPro.RTM. (abciximab), dipyridamole, ticlopidine and IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists. The synergy will result in the ability to reduce the dosages of the agents used in the combination therapy.
