One-year angiographic results of left anterior descending bypass using internal mammary artery: a series of 48 consecutive patients

Journal of Medicine in Scientific Research, 2019
The left internal mammary artery (LIMA) has been used as a conduit for coronary artery revascularization since 1968. Here we are reporting A total of 48 consecutive patients were operated upon using double mammary arteries. All of them received a mammary

Sonographic localisation of lymph nodes suspicious of metastatic breast cancer to surgical axillary levels

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 119-138, March 2025.
Sonographic imaging is used to identify the presence, number and location of malignant lymph nodes. Axillary lymph nodes suspicious of harbouring breast cancer metastasis can be localised to three surgical axillary levels. This paper will unpack the axillary anatomy, muscular sonographic landmarks, surgical axillary lymph node levels and the ...

Spontaneous Internal Mammary Artery Graft Dissection Triggered by Emotional Stress

JACC: Case Reports, 2019
Internal mammary artery graft dissection is a rare condition and is usually caused by iatrogenic complications or mechanical stress. We experienced a case of acute myocardial infarction due to spontaneous internal mammary artery graft dissection that was

Case Report: Morphological Characterization and Long-Term Observation of Bilateral Sequential Internal Mammary Artery Aneurysms in a Patient With Confirmed FBN1 Mutation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a genetically determined connective tissue disorder that leads to ocular, skeletal, and severe cardiovascular involvement. High mortality of MFS is associated with aortic dissection and aneurysm characteristic to the syndrome. In

High‐ and Ultra‐High‐Frequency Ultrasound Identifies a Subclinical Link Between Suppurative Comedonal Nevus and Hidradenitis Suppurativa

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Suppurative nevus comedonicus (SNC) is a variant of nevus comedonicus in which the characteristic features coexist with recurrent inflammatory lesions that clinically resemble those of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). We present the ultrasound characteristics of this entity and emphasize the value of high‐resolution dermatologic ultrasound both as a ...

Normal tissue complication probability models of late cardiopulmonary toxicity following deep inspiration breath hold for breast cancer adjuvant radiotherapy

Precision Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
Deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) markedly cuts heart and left lung radiation doses during left‐sided breast cancer radiotherapy. The normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) model further confirms lower predicted cardiopulmonary toxicities versus free breathing (FB), potentially improving patients’ quality of life.

Left internal mammary artery access for embolization of the left subclavian artery in a patient with type II endoleak after thoracic endovascular aortic repair for a ruptured right-sided aortic arch aneurysm

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2022
A 65-year-old woman had presented with a ruptured type B intramural hematoma associated with a right-sided aortic arch aneurysm, a large Kommerell diverticulum (KD) and an aberrant left subclavian artery (LSA). She underwent total aortic arch replacement

Role of defensins in immunothrombosis

Rheumatology &Autoimmunity, EarlyView.
Defensins are important proteins that link the immune system and blood clotting, playing a key role in immunothrombosis. α‐defensins mainly come from neutrophils, while β‐defensins are produced by epithelial cells and platelets. These proteins help form blood clots in several ways: they slow down clot breakdown (fibrinolysis), activate platelets, and ...

Total arterial myocardial revascularization in octogenarians

Advances in Interventional Cardiology, 2020
According to the current ESC/EACTS Myocardial Revascularization Guidelines, the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) should always be implanted to graft the left anterior descending (LAD) artery, but an additional arterial graft should be considered in ...

Outcomes of middle cardiac vein arterialization via internal mammary/thoracic artery anastomosis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
OBJECTIVE: Cardiac vein arterialization is seldom applied for treating right coronary artery disease. This study aimed to improve outcomes of cardiac vein arterialization in a porcine model using intramammary artery anastomosis.
