Inhibition of in-stent stenosis by oral administration of bindarit in porcine coronary arteries [PDF]
<p><b>Objective:</b> We have previously demonstrated that bindarit, a selective inhibitor of monocyte chemotactic proteins (MCPs), is effective in reducing neointimal formation in rodent models of vascular injury by reducing smooth ...

Variations in coronary artery diameter: a retrospective observational study in Indian population
Objective: The diameter of coronary arteries varies greatly among general population. The knowledge of variations in coronary arteries helps the clinicians to define abnormalities and plan the treatment. Hence, the present study was aimed to study common

Diagnosis and Management of Anomalous Coronary Arteries with a Malignant Course
Although the prevalence of anomalous coronary artery from the opposite sinus (ACAOS) in the general population is low, more frequent use of invasive and non-invasive imaging to rule out coronary artery disease has seen an increase in absolute numbers of ...

Coronary arterial fistulas [PDF]
A coronary arterial fistula is a connection between one or more of the coronary arteries and a cardiac chamber or great vessel. This is a rare defect and usually occurs in isolation. Its exact incidence is unknown. The majority of these fistulas are congenital in origin although they may occasionally be detected after cardiac surgery.
