Plasma homocysteine levels are related to medium-term venous graft degeneration in coronary artery bypass graft patients
OBJECTIVE Saphenous venous grafts (SVGs) are established choices for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG); however, their lumen patency is limited. Our goal was to investigate the risk factors of SVG degeneration. METHODS Seventy-five patients (mean age, 57.5±10.4 years) with 133 SVG conduits who had cardiac catheterization ≥1 year after CABG were selected; follow-up period was 67.6±36.8 mo...

INTRODUCTION Popliteal artery aneurysms (PAA) are the most prevalent form of peripheral arterial aneurysms. Greater saphenous vein grafts and endoaneurysmorrhaphy remains the mainstay therapy for open repair of PAA. True aneurysmal degeneration of lower extremity infrainguinal autologous vein grafts are relatively rare and its etiology is not completely understood. CASE PRESENTATION We presen...
متن کاملInteractive effects of homocysteine and copper on angiogenesis in porcine isolated saphenous vein.
BACKGROUND After coronary artery bypass grafting procedures with saphenous vein, there is a protracted elevation of plasma homocysteine and copper. These interact to elicit endothelial dysfunction through promotion of superoxide. It has been suggested that angiogenesis and the formation of a neovasa vasorum is important in mediating vein graft patency. A novel in vitro model of angiogenesis in ...

Background: Diabetes mellitus is the most common cause of renal failure, blindness, non- traumatic amputation and neuropathy. Homocysteine, a sulfurated amino acid, has a close correlation with Methionine and Cysteine. The conversion of Methionine to Homocysteine and Cysteine is required coenzymes like vitamin B6, B12 and Folate. The effect of Metformin on serum Homocysteine level by decreasing...
