The objective of the study was to estimate the contractility characteristics and electromechanical coupling of human internal thoracic artery (ITA) by mechanography and double sucrose gap technique to compare the effect of nitroglycerin with other pharmacological agents. The study of mechanical tension (mechanography) of the ITA segments has been performed in 14 patients undergone coronary arte...

We report the 20 year follow up of a female patient who underwent mitral valve billowing and prolapse (Barlow) repair at the age of 29 yrs. Our repair method to aggressively remodel the valve, which maximizes predictable anatomic and physiologic efficacy and minimizes unpredictable results incorporates a complete resection of the posterior leaflet, a sliding and folding plasty with the remainin...
