The experimental and clinical efforts of Demikov and Kolesov between 1952 and 1964 related to coronary anastomosis between the internal thoracic artery and left anterior descending artery on a beating heart. Sones and Shirey (Cleveland, 1962) were pioneers of selective coronary angiography. The first coronary artery bypass grafting using a saphenous vein graft was performed by Garrett, Dennis, ...

Objectives Although echocardiography has traditionally been used to diagnose myxoma, invasive or non-invasive coronary angiography can be useful diagnostic tool before surgery. Methods We present a case of an angiographically detected left atrial myxoma feeding from the left circumflex coronary artery. Results The patient underwent open-heart surgery to remove the left atrial myxoma. After ...

Background and Objective: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the most commonly performed cardiac surgery globally in United States, however, women have worse outcomes than men. We aim to examine possible drivers of this sex difference CABG outcomes.

Coronary artery bypass surgery is considered as the gold standard treatment of unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) disease. Over the last 20 years, improvement in stent technology and operators experience explained the increased number of reports on the results of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) for the treatment of left main (LM) coronary artery lesion. The recent data com...

A rare clinical case of malformation the coronary arteries is considered – anomalous left artery from pulmonary (Bland-WhiteGarland syndrome) in a 61-year-old patient. Detailed visualization form angiograms and multispiral-CT, including those after surgery, presented.

In late years spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) had emerging as a non-atherosclerotic cause of acute syndrome (ACS).We report an interesting case young male patient presenting to emergency with substernal chest discomfort positive troponin and electrocardiogram changes consistent NSTEMI.Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) was initiated following ACS PROTOCOL, which found critic...

introduction: the aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of measurement of coronary artery calcification score (cac) in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (cad) and a normal myocardial perfusion scan. methods: in a prospective study we measured the calcium score of 74 patients (29 m, 45 f, mean age 58.7 (m) and 64.4 (f)) with suspicion of cad and a normal perfusion scan. in ...

OBJECTIVE The following report describes the experience of the Cardiovascular Surgery Team of the ABC Medical School with coronary-coronary bypass grafting. METHODS Four patients undergone off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting, with coronary-coronary bypass of the right coronary artery, by using great saphenous vein graft. RESULTS The follow-up period was 3 to 5 years without any intra- ...

objectives to evaluate predictive value of vessel specific coronary artery calcium (cac) score in predicting obstructive coronary artery disease. patients and methods in this diagnostic test study we evaluated patients with coronary computed tomography angiography (ccta) and cac score which had been referred to two referral radiology center in tehran, iran and finally we selected 2525 patients ...
