Percutaneous coronary intervention in a patient with cardiac dextroversion.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dextrocardia associated with atrial situs solitus is commonly referred to as dextroversion. Dextroversion is a result of early interruption of normal embryological development and, therefore, rarely occurs without other associated cardiac and noncardiac anomalies. While percutaneous coronary intervention has been described in many cases of dextrocardia with situs inversus, it has not been previously described in dextroversion. We report the case of an 88-year-old woman with dextroversion who presented with an acute anterior myocardial infarction that was successfully treated with coronary stent implantation.

Effect of Melatonin on Cardiac Injury after Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: a Randomized Controlled Trial
Several studies have reported that the antioxidant properties of melatonin can provide cardiac protection through scavenging of free radicals. This study sought to investigate the efficacy of melatonin on cardiac biomarkers, myocardial-specific protein high sensitive troponin-T (hs-TnT) and creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoin...

متن کاملEffect of Aromatherapy Massage on Anxiety among Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Background and Objective: Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) is a common procedure in treatment of coronary artery diseases. Anxiety is a common psychological reaction to cardiovascular interventions. Anxiety can affect physiological responses and cause blood pressure increase, cardiac output decrease, cardiac o2 demand increase, and finally ischemic pain. The aim of this study was to ass...
