Chronic total left main coronary artery occlusion.
A 65 year old man, smoker, presented with a history of exertional shortness of breath over the last 4 months. He denied any chest discomfort. On examination jugular venous distension was noted with bilateral basal crackles. He got symptomatic relief after treatment with diuretics and nitrates. His echocardiogramme revealed global hypokinesia of left ventricle with severe mitral regurgitation. H...
متن کاملErythropoietin stimulates the coronary collateral development in patients with coronary chronic total occlusion
OBJECTIVE Erythropoietin (EPO) improves cardiac function and induces neovascularisation in post-myocardial infarction heart failure. The aim of this study was to analyse the association between the serum erythropoietin level and coronary collateral development in patients with coronary artery disease and chronic total occlusion. METHODS A total of 168 patients consisting of 117 with coronary ...
متن کاملCoronary collateral circulation behaviour and myocardial viability in chronic total occlusion treated with coronary angioplasty.
AIMS We explored the role of microcirculation integrity following the chronic occlusion of an infarct-related artery to assess the behaviour of collateral circulation during and after reperfusion by coronary angioplasty METHODS AND RESULTS Eighteen patients with a proximally occluded left anterior descending artery and firm evidence of intercoronary collateral circulation were studied with se...
متن کاملThe Association between Whole Blood Viscosity and Coronary Collateral Circulation in Patients with Chronic Total Occlusion
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Coronary collateral circulation (CCC) has been attributed as inborn bypass mechanisms supporting ischemic myocardium. Various factors have been postulated in CCC. Whole blood viscosity (WBV) has been an underappreciated entity despite close relationships between multiple cardiovascular diseases. WBV can be calculated with a validated equation from hematocrit and total ...
متن کاملShould Chronic Total Occlusion Be Treated With Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting? Chronic Total Occlusion Should Be Treated With Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.
Coronary artery chronic total occlusions (CTOs) are an exacerbation of stable coronary artery disease (CAD) with advanced calcification. CTOs are defined as 100% coronary occlusions with Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction grade 0 flow persisting for >3 months. National database registries and large single-center series suggest that in patients with CAD the overall incidence of CTOs may vary ...
