چکیده

Woman, 67 years old, with unstable angina and history of myocardial revascularization: left internal thoracic artery to anterior descending artery and graft with radial artery (RA) to right coronary artery branches. Coronariography showed stenosis of 90% in the RA graft, treated with conventional stent. After two months, the patient developed unstable angina related to in-stent restenosis, treated with sirolimus-eluting stent. In the follow-up, six months after implantation, the patient was asymptomatic and maintening the outcome of the implant. This case report demonstrates the technical difficulties of percutaneous intervention in RA grafts and treatment outcome of in-stent restenosis with sirolimus stent.

Direct stenting of a transradial left internal mammary artery graft.

Taking the transfemoral approach when performing a left internal mammary artery (LIMA) graft intervention is generally recognized as posing significant technical challenges. However, little has been reported on alternative transradial approaches to LIMA. In this report, we present our experience in a patient who had anastomosis-site LIMA graft stenosis and was successfully treated with direct s...

Clinically relevant variations in the origin and course of the radial artery

Background: The radial artery is an essential artery supplying the structures in the forearm. Variations in the radial artery concerning its origin, course, branching pattern, and mode of termination have been commonly reported. The high origin of the radial artery from either brachial or axillary artery was detected in numerous studies. Clinically-radial artery is used in cardiac catheterizati...

[Percutaneous intervention to a radial coronary artery graft. Initial results and follow-up].

The use of radial artery grafts for coronary bypass surgery is becoming more frequent. However, experience with percutaneous coronary intervention for radial artery graft failure is limited. We describe a patient with a radial artery graft in whom angina reappeared because of de novo stenosis in the graft. The patient was successfully treated with balloon angioplasty and stenting. At 6 months h...

Dual protection therapy with staged coronary artery bypass surgery and stenting in patients with left main coronary artery stenosis: long-term results from a single center.

OBJECTIVE We evaluated the efficacy and safety of dual protection therapy with staged coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and bare-metal stenting (BMS) in patients with left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease. BACKGROUND CABG is currently the preferred therapy for complex LMCA disease; however, the long-term patency rates of these grafts are unsatisfactory, and stenting alone for LMCA may...
