What we should know about bifurcation disease.
ith great interest we read the article by Li et al. (1) regarding asomotor functional responses of a conduit coronary artery distal o sirolimus-eluting stents in a porcine model. The researchers tated in the discussion, “. . .most of the drug taken up into cardiac issue was transferred by direct contact with the arterial wall, which ay have served as a reservoir for subsequent transfer via diff...
متن کاملMyocardial kinetics of thallium-201 after dipyridamole infusion in normal canine myocardium and in myocardium distal to a stenosis.
The purpose of the present study was to define myocardial and blood thallium-201 (Tl-201) kinetics after infusion of dipyridamole in normal canine myocardium and in myocardium distal to a coronary artery stenosis. Miniature radiation detector probes were implanted in the left ventricle in 39 open-chest dogs. A balloon constrictor was placed around the proximal left circumflex coronary artery. E...
متن کاملMechanisms of myocardium-coronary vessel interaction.
The mechanisms by which the contracting myocardium exerts extravascular forces (intramyocardial pressure, IMP) on coronary blood vessels and by which it affects the coronary flow remain incompletely understood. Several myocardium-vessel interaction (MVI) mechanisms have been proposed, but none can account for all the major flow features. In the present study, we hypothesized that only a specifi...
متن کاملImpaired resting perfusion in viable myocardium distal to chronic coronary stenosis in rats.
Chronic coronary artery stenosis results in patchy necrosis in the dependent myocardium and impairs global and regional left ventricular (LV) function in rats in vivo. The aim of the present study was to compare regional myocardial blood flow (RMBF) and function (F) in poststenotic myocardium by using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to compare MRI blood flow changes to histological alterat...
متن کاملAssessment of jeopardized myocardium in patients with one-vessel disease.
The size of the perfusion defect was assessed from a quantitative analysis of exercise thallium201 images. Quantitative analysis was determined by measuring the area and the perimeter of the perfusion defect and expressing it as a percentage of the total left ventricular area or perimeter in three projections. Using this technique, we studied 50 patients with one-vessel disease of50% or greater...
