That’s spectacular! Thank you for the newest update. I expect someday soon we’ll see some case reports coming out from Delinda and the physician in Miami. Getting decannulated after prolonged ECMO is no small feat.
Can VIP help reverse lung damage??? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Quote: They did both an echocardiogram and a CT Scan on her [Delinda] lungs. Heart looked good and the lungs looked amazing compared to how they looked a month ago. The right looked like a whole lung and about 70% of the top of the left was recognizable as a lung even to me. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Since Aviptadil has had such a pronounced effect on Delinda’s lungs, Dr. Youssef is in the process of asking the FDA for permission to administer it again in hopes of more improvement. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Myocardial fibrosis is defined by a significant increase in the collagen volume of myocardial tissue. It is a complex process that involves all components of the myocardial tissue and can be triggered by tissue injury from myocardial ischemia (hypoxia), inflammation, and hypertensive overload.
We conclude that VIP infusion increased myocardial VIP concentration and was able to reverse existing myocardial fibrosis suggesting a possible therapeutic role for a VIP based therapy in cardiac failure.
