ATHEROSCLEROSIS OF THE INTERNAL MAMMARY ARTERY IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFTING [PDF]

Acta Medica Iranica, 2003
In patients requiring coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), usually at least one of the internal mammary arteries is used. This study evaluates the degree of atherosclerotic involvement of the internal mammary artery (IMA) in patients undergoing CABG ...

REVASCULARIZACIÓN MIOCÁRDICA CON AMBAS ARTERIAS MAMARIAS INTERNAS, UN RETO PARA LOS CIRUJANOS CARDIOVASCULARES ACTUALES / Myocardial revascularization with both internal mammary arteries, a challenge for cardiovascular surgeons nowadays [PDF]

CorSalud, 2009
The left internal mammary artery is currently the most common graft in surgical myocardial revascularization. However, in spite of the works showing the effectiveness of the use of both mammary arteries, this technique remains a controversial topic in ...

Thermochemical Micro‐Explosion for Prompt Thrombolysis via Proximal Injection of Liquid Alkali Metal

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We report a micro‐explosive thermochemical thrombolysis (METCT) therapy via injectable liquid alkali metal encapsulated in dimethyl silicone (LAM@oil). METCT enables prompt and safe vascular recanalization within 90 s. Critically, the LAM@oil system demonstrates significantly higher thrombolytic efficacy compared to clinically available thrombolytic ...

Coronary artery fistulas as a rare cause of heart failure and ventricular arrhythmia, associated with multiple large vessel fistulas

Radiology Case Reports, 2023
Coronary artery fistulas are abnormal connections between the coronary arteries with a heart chamber or any of the major blood vessels. Fistulous connections between systemic arteries and pulmonary vessels are even less frequent.

Adipocyte Myoglobin Is a Determinant of Energy Expenditure and a Potential Target to Limit Obesity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Myoglobin, known as a muscle oxygen‐carrying protein, is shown to play a key role in fat cells that burn energy. Loss of myoglobin reduces the body's ability to generate heat and increases obesity risk, while restoring it improves metabolism. The study identifies myoglobin as a regulator of fat burning and a potential target to enhance energy ...

ACE2 and AT4R are present in diseased human blood vessels

European Journal of Histochemistry, 2009
A growing body of evidence suggests that the angiotensin II fragments, Ang(1-7) and Ang(3-8), have a vasoactive role, however ACE2, the enzyme that produces Ang(1-7), or AT4R, the receptor that binds Ang (3-8), have yet been simultaneously localised in ...

The combination of breast necrosis and chylothorax following the OPCAB [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Research, 2016
Due to long term patency, the internal mammary artery is considered as a conduit of choice for revascularization of the left anterior descending coronary artery.

Pathophysiologic Consequences of Early Coarctation Stenting in a Longitudinal Porcine Model

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Novel stent technologies offer early intravascular treatment options for coarctation (COA). Mid‐to‐long‐term cardiovascular responses to early COA stent interventions are undefined. Aims We studied a porcine model of COA, with and without early stent implantation with serial dilation to adult aortic diameters, aiming to define ...

Exploring Cerumen as an Alternative Matrix for Drug Detection and Quantification: Method Development and Application in Clinical Samples

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
An LC–MS/MS method was developed for the detection of 33 psychoactive medications in cerumen (earwax) and applied to the samples of 60 psychiatric inpatient volunteers. The findings highlighted the utility of cerumen as an innovative biospecimen in clinical toxicological analysis.

Weight No Barrier: Anaortic Off-Pump Total Arterial CABG in a 107-kg Patient [PDF]

Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Medicine
Total arterial, anaortic off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) is a refined surgical approach that minimizes the risks of cardiopulmonary bypass and aortic manipulation.
