Microvascular dysfunction in the immediate aftermath of chronic total coronary occlusion recanalization [PDF]

, 2016
Objectives The aim of this study was to compare microvascular resistance under both baseline and hyperemic conditions immediately after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of a chronic total occlusion (CTO) with an unobstructed reference vessel in ...

Use of the Instantaneous Wave-free Ratio or Fractional Flow Reserve in PCI [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: Coronary revascularization guided by fractional flow reserve (FFR) is associated with better patient outcomes after the procedure than revascularization guided by angiography alone.

Robust semi-automated path extraction for visualising stenosis of the coronary arteries [PDF]

, 2008
Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is useful for diagnosing and planning treatment of heart disease. However, contrast agent in surrounding structures (such as the aorta and left ventricle) makes 3-D visualisation of the coronary arteries difficult ...

Concertina Phenomenon in the Left Anterior Descending Artery: An Unexpected Circumstance in an Unexpected Vessel

Journal of Tehran University Heart Center, 2018
The concertina phenomenon is the occurrence of new and transient angiographic series of pseudolesions in a tortuous vessel induced mainly by a stiff guide wire.

Underuse of coronary revascularization procedures in patients considered appropriate candidates for revascularization. [PDF]

, 2001
Background: Ratings by an expert panel of the appropriateness of treatments may offer better guidance for clinical practice than the variable decisions of individual clinicians, yet there have been no prospective studies of clinical outcomes. We compared

Opposing Effects on Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation and Macrophage-induced Inflammation Reveal a Protective Role for the Proresolving Lipid Mediator Receptor ChemR23 in Intimal Hyperplasia

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2018
Intimal hyperplasia remains a significant clinical problem in for example coronary artery bypass graft failure. Since omega-3 fatty acids reduce intimal hyperplasia, we hypothesized that the G protein-coupled receptor ChemR23 for the omega-3-derived pro ...
