Procedural Outcome of Modern Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Proximal Chronic Total Occlusions
ABSTRACT Background Long‐term outcome in patients with chronic total occlusions (CTO) depends on the target vessel and proximity of the lesion. Aims To investigate of the target vessel was associated with procedural efficacy and safety in patients with proximal CTO lesions.

Coronary artery grafting in infants [PDF]
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with cardiac vale repair is an uncommon surgery in infants. CABG is technically demanding in infants due to the small size not only of the coronary arteries but also the potential graft arteries.

The effects of death and post-mortem cold ischemia on human tissue transcriptomes [PDF]
Post-mortem tissues samples are a key resource for investigating patterns of gene expression. However, the processes triggered by death and the post-mortem interval (PMI) can significantly alter physiologically normal RNA levels.

Pedicled and skeletonized single and bilateral internal thoracic artery grafts and the incidence of sternal wound complications: Insights from the Arterial Revascularization Trial [PDF]
Objectives: The question of whether skeletonized internal thoracic artery harvesting reduces the incidence of sternal wound complications in comparison with the pedicled technique, in the context of single or bilateral internal thoracic arteries, remains

The Endothelial CXCR Family in Vascular Health and Disease
ABSTRACT Endothelial cells (ECs) form the dynamic interface between blood and tissue, serving as key regulators of vascular homeostasis, inflammation, and repair. Among the molecular systems governing endothelial behavior, the C‐X‐C motif chemokine receptor (CXCR) family—originally characterized in immunology for its roles in leukocyte trafficking and ...

Total arterial myocardial revascularization in octogenarians
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]
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.
