Echocardiographically Measured Epicardial Fat Predicts New-onset Atrial Fibrillation after Cardiac Surgery

Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery
Objective: The current study aims to investigate the role of echocardiographically measured epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) thickness in the prediction of new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery ...

Dynamic Contrast Enhanced—Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (DCE‐MRF) Improves Detection of Induced Vascular Perfusion Reduction in a Mouse Breast Cancer Model

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Dynamic contrast‐enhanced MRI (DCE‐MRI) can assess tumor perfusion using pharmacokinetic models. However, poor DCE‐MRI reproducibility from reliance on conventional T1‐weighted MRI has limited clinical translation. We evaluated whether Dynamic Contrast Enhanced‐Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (DCE‐MRF), which directly generates ...

Comparison of the effect of two left internal mammary artery harvesting techniques (skeletonization and pedicled) on post coronary artery bypass surgery pain and bleeding

Research in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2017
Background: Recent evidence suggests that skeletonization of the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) can improve the flow and length of the flow, reduce deep sternal infections and postoperative pain.

Preparo da veia safena na cirurgia de revascularização miocárdica: uma nova técnica -no touch- que mantém a parede da veia íntegra e proporciona uma alta perviabilidade imediata [PDF]

, 2003
BACKGROUND: The technique of harvesting the saphenous vein (SV) for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) influences the fate of vein grafts. A new no touch (NT) technique of SV preparation was developed where the vein is harvested with a pedicle of ...

Internal mammary artery dilatation in a patient with aortic coarctation, aortic stenosis, and coronary disease. Case report

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2011
The ideal surgical approach is unclear in adult patients with coarctation of the aorta that is associated with other cardiovascular pathologies that require intervention. Standard median sternotomy allows simultaneous, coronary revascularization surgery,

A Simplest Method to Enhance the Benefits of Internal Thoracic Artery Distal Occlusion

Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 2021
A common element of internal thoracic artery harvesting techniques is a distal vascular clamp placement at the end of the procedure, not only to avoid bleeding, but also to increase the internal hydrostatic pressure, diameter and flow.

Up-regulation of endothelin type B receptors in the human internal mammary artery in culture is dependent on protein kinase C and mitogen-activated kinase signaling pathways

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2008
Background Up-regulation of vascular endothelin type B (ETB) receptors is implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. Culture of intact arteries has been shown to induce similar receptor alterations and has therefore been suggested as a ...
