چکیده
A variety of advances have recently facilitated development of methods to treat mitral regurgitation using catheter techniques via the percutaneous route. These include placing devices into the coronary sinus to support the mitral annulus and direct percutaneous leaflet repair. These approaches are already attractive for use in older patients and will hopefully make treatments available to many with no current options. (J Interven Cardiol 2006;19:396–400)

متن کاملDifferent Presentation of Anomalous Origin of the Left Coronary Artery from the Pulmonary Artery in Adults: Case Reports
Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital cardiac malformation. We report three cases of ALCAPA who survived to adulthood. The first case was a 51-year-old woman who complained of typical chest pain that was diagnosed with ALCAPA using cardiac catheterization and coronary computed tomographic angiography (CTA). The second case was a 30-...
