Left superior vena cava with coronary sinus ostial atresia with retrograde flow
The left superior vena cava (LSVC) develops when the left common cardinal vein and the caudal part of the left superior cardinal vein fail to regress. We present a case where LSVC was associated with a bridging vein and coronary sinus ostial atresia. The

Multiple Coronary Arteriovenous Fistulas to the Coronary Sinus With an Unruptured Coronary Sinus Aneurysm and Restrictive Coronary Sinus Opening to the Right Atrium [PDF]
A 37-year-old woman was transferred to our department for surgery. She had experienced intermittent chest discomfort or pain and palpitation during the last 4 years. Chest radiographs showed cardiomegaly (cardiothoracic ratio 0.63). A preoperative ECG showed normal sinus rhythm (Figure 1). Echocardiography showed marked dilatation of the coronary sinus

ABSTRACT Background Little is known about the clinical and hemodynamic outcome of valve‐in‐valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement (ViV‐TAVR) for failed Trifecta surgical aortic bioprotheses. Aims We aimed to compare outcomes of valve‐in‐valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement (ViV‐TAVR into failed TrifectaTM vs.

Coronary artery ectasia is a rare angiographical finding, and it accounts for less than 5% of all coronary angiograms. We report a case of a 55-year-old male patient who presented with fatigue and exertional chest pain.

An unusual cause of atrial fibrillation in a young active duty soldier
Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is an abnormality in which the coronary artery has an anomalous connection with a venous structure such as the coronary sinus or atrium. CAF is usually congenital, but may be acquired.

Emergent Cardiac Surgery After Transcatheter Structural Heart Procedures: Narrative Review
ABSTRACT Transcatheter structural heart procedures have become standard therapy for elderly patients with high surgical risk. Over time, these procedures have significantly increased worldwide, accompanied by a concomitant reduction of major complications, including those requiring emergent cardiac surgery (ECS).

Coronary Sinus to Left Atrial Communication
Congenital coronary sinus anomalies are rare in clinical practice, partly due to the lack of symptoms. We present a case of coronary sinus anomaly causing a right-to-left intracardiac shunt in a 46 years/old African American female with a past medical ...

Effect of Bileaflet Valve Orientation on the 3D Flow Dynamics in the Sinus of Valsalva
Three-dimensional (3D) evolutional behavior of flow dynamics in the aortic sinus of Valsalva was studied in vitro for finding the effects of bileaflet valve orientations in an effort to investigate possible linkages between the sinus flow and coronary ...

Detection and localization of Coronary Arterial Lesion with the Aid of Impedance Cardiography [PDF]
In recent years, coronary artery disease is escalating and is likely to assume an epidemic proportion by 2030. Currently the reliable methods for detection of coronary arterial lesions are either conventional coronary angiogram (CAG) or MDCT (Multiple Detector Computed Tomography) coronary angiogram.

Effects of pressure-controlled intermittent coronary sinus occlusion on regional ischemic myocardial function [PDF]
Pressure-controlled intermittent coronary sinus occlusion has been reported to reduce infarct size in dogs with coronary artery occlusion, possibly because of increased ischemic zone perfusion and washout of toxic metabolites.
