Aneurysmal coronary artery disease of the right coronary artery [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2003
Coronary artery aneurysms are uncommon, with male dominance and uncertain natural history. The RCA is predilected in 50% of cases. Complications are thrombus, risk of rupture and vasospasm. Treatment is not clearly defined, only anecdotal experience exists. We treated two elder male patients with isolated large aneurysm of the RCA (Fig. 1a,b) presented

Bilaterally symmetrical congenital absence of radial artery: a case report [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
BACKGROUND: The radial artery is used for the access of coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention, as well as for coronary artery bypass surgery. Variations of upper limb arteries are common, however, congenital absence of radial artery

Coronary arterial spasm in single right coronary artery [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Zhejiang University SCIENCE B, 2009
We presented a case of anomalous single-coronary artery detected incidentally during routine coronary angiography. A 32-year-old male Chinese patient presented with recurrent pre-syncope and six episodes of syncope. Coronary angiography and coronary-computed tomography (CT)-angiography performed by a dual-source computed tomography (DSCT) revealed that

Quantitative Assessment of Image Quality in 64-slice-computed Tomography of Coronary Arteries in Subjects Undergoing Screening for Coronary Artery Disease

open access: yesKaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2010
Accurate and consistent visualization of the entire coronary system with high-grade imaging quality is crucial for routine applications of multi-detector-computed tomography (MDCT) coronary angiography.

The Acute Responses of Different-sized Coronary Arteries to Testosterone [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Coronary arteries supply blood to the myocardium. The blood flow within the coronary arteries is altered by various compounds produced within the body. Sex hormones such as testosterone are known to cause the relaxation of large coronary arteries.

Coronary Artery Vasospasm [PDF]

open access: yesKorean Circulation Journal, 2018
Coronary artery vasospasm (CVS) is an important mechanism of myocardial ischemia and produces any of the manifestations of coronary artery disease from silent myocardial ischemia, to effort-induced angina and variant angina, to acute coronary syndrome including myocardial infarction or sudden cardiac death.

Subpar reporting of pre‐analytical variables in RNA‐focused blood plasma studies

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Pre‐analytical variables strongly influence the analysis of extracellular RNA (cell‐free RNA; exRNA) derived from blood plasma. Their reporting is essential to allow interpretation and replication of results. By evaluating 200 exRNA studies, we pinpoint a lack of reporting pre‐analytical variables associated with blood collection, plasma preparation ...

Posterior arterial circle of Willis anatomic variations and coronary artery dominance: is there a correlation?

open access: yesAutopsy and Case Reports, 2011
Anatomic variations and anomalies in the arteries from the circle of Willis or the heart are common, sometimes even more common than the classic morphology.

Coronary artery grafting in infants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with cardiac vale repair is an uncommon surgery in infants. CABG is technically demanding in infants due to the small size not only of the coronary arteries but also the potential graft arteries.

Physiologic compliance in engineered small-diameter arterial constructs based on an elastomeric substrate. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Compliance mismatch is a significant challenge to long-term patency in small-diameter bypass grafts because it causes intimal hyperplasia and ultimately graft occlusion.
