The caveats in the diagnosis of anomalous origin of left coronary artery from pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Anomalous origin of left coronary artery from pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is an infrequent, well described, but important anomaly of the coronary origin. Early diagnosis and prompt surgical treatment of the disease can be life saving. However, there are

Aortic valve disease: Novel animal models for advancing our understanding of the underlying mechanisms

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Due to the complex pathophysiology of aortic valve disease (AVD) and the resulting lack of effective pharmacotherapy, existing animal models are valuable research tools, but each has its own strengths and limitations. This review systematically surveys the major AVD models, compares their induction methods, pathological features, advantages and ...

Congenital coronary-cameral fistulas; multiple micro-fistulas versus large solitary macro cameral fistula, case reports and the occlusion technique with Occlutech Duct Occluder

open access: yesIHJ Cardiovascular Case Reports, 2022
A congenital coronary arteriovenous fistula is a communication between a coronary artery branch and any of the four cardiac chambers or even coronary sinus, superior vena cava, pulmonary artery, or pulmonary veins as well.

A critical reappraisal of the carotid sinus and carotid bulb: Distinguishing neurohistological function from vascular geometry

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
This review redefines the carotid bulb (CB) as a variable geometric dilation shaped by hemodynamics and the carotid sinus (CS) as a conserved neurohistological baroreceptor field. Distinguishing these entities clarifies a century of anatomical confusion and links geometry, neurohistology, and clinical interpretation within a unified framework ...

A rare case of dual congenital coronary cameral fistula and myocardial bridge

open access: yesMedicine, 2022
. Rationale:. A coronary artery fistula (CAF) is an anomalous communication between a coronary artery and a cardiac chamber or great vessel. It is a rare congenital anomaly that is often small and asymptomatic, occurring in only 0.002% of the general ...

Cardiac morphological and morphometric analysis of Ardea alba

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Ardea alba (Linnaeus, 1758) is a widely distributed heron species whose cardiovascular morphology remains poorly described. This study aimed to characterize the cardiac morphology and morphometry of adult A. alba. Ten specimens were analyzed using radiographic, morphometric, histological, scanning electron microscopy, and three‐dimensional ...

Unusual presentation of a huge right coronary artery fistula; Technical issues with device closure

open access: yesThe Egyptian Heart Journal, 2014
Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is considered an embryologic persistence of primitive intra-trabecular spaces which allow the developing coronary artery to communicate with the other cardiac chambers or vascular structures.

An examination of factors influencing the choice of therapy for patients with coronary artery disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Background A diverse range of factors influence clinicians' decisions regarding the allocation of patients to different treatments for coronary artery disease in routine cardiology clinics. These include demographic measures, risk factors, co-morbidities,

SOX6 is expressed in various cell lineages in the developing mouse heart and contributes to proper valvuloseptal development

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Cells derived from the endocardium, epicardium, cardiac neural crest, and second heart field play a critical role in the formation of the valvuloseptal structures of the heart. Previous studies have shown that the expression of the transcription factor SOX9 in these cell populations is essential in the regulation of this process.
