Alteration in expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells could be considered for estimating the severity of coronary artery stenosis [PDF]
Journal of Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences, 2023 Background and aims: Atherosclerosis is one of the main reasons why people die from cardiovascular disease. The pathogenesis of atherosclerosis may have been aided by the deregulation of cellular and molecular events in peripheral blood mononuclear cells

Surgical angioplasty of the left main coronary artery [PDF]
Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2010 Introduction. The conventional treatment for isolated stenosis of the left main coronary artery is bypass surgery (myocardial revascularization). However, the process of atherosclerosis is not arrested by myocardial revascularization and it will lead to ...

The influence of multi-stenosis in the left coronary artery subjected to the variable blood flow rate [PDF]
Frontiers in Engineering and Built Environment, 2021 Purpose – Coronary artery disease (CAD) is reported as one of the most common sources of death all over the world. The presence of stenosis (plaque) in the coronary arteries results in the restriction of blood supply, leading to myocardial infarction ...

Coronary angioplasty in iatrogenic coronary artery stenosis
The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1983 Iatrogenic coronary artery stenosis as a serious complication of aortic valve procedures is a difficult condition to solve. We present a case in which both ostia were involved. As the patient refused reoperation, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) was used.

Relationship between neutrophils to HDL-C ratio and severity of coronary stenosis
BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2021 Background Lipid and inflammatory molecules play a key role in the development of inflammation. Neutrophil counts are used as markers of inflammation duration, and HDL-C is used as an anti-atherosclerosis component.
