We presented a case of left anterior descending coronary artery aneurysm that was developed after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent implantation. The aneurysm was plicated after removal of the stent device, and the left descending coronary artery was bypassed with the left internal thoracic artery. Few have reported surgical treatments for the coronary aneurysm including PCI s...

To evaluate the prognostic significance of clinicopathological measurement in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (MI) in sheep, acute MI was induced by ligation of left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD). For this purpose, twenty four healthy sheep were divided into the sham-operated or control group (group I, thoracotomy without MI) and the experimental group (group II, with M...

OBJECTIVES The effect of progression of left ventricular hypertrophy on coronary artery dimensions was studied in patients with aortic valve disease. METHODS Cross-sectional area of the left and right coronary arteries was determined by quantitative coronary arteriography in 12 control subjects and in 10 patients with aortic valve disease at baseline and after a follow-up period of 66 months....

What are the mechanisms by which behavior is organized sequentially over time? The recently developed mid-session reversal (MSR) task offers new insights into this fundamental question. The typical MSR task is arranged to have a single reversed discrimination occurring in a consistent location within each session and across sessions. In this task, we examine the relevance of time, reinforcement...

Ten serial pathological cross sections at 1 mm intervals of both the left anterior descending artery at the site of a percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and of the circumflex artery in the untreated stenotic area were studied at necropsy in a patient who died immediately after the procedure. The extent of calcification and atheroma were similar in both branches. Intimal or medial sp...

SUCCES SFUL REVASCULARIZATION OF the anterior left ventricle in patients suffering from coronary artery disease has been achieved by implantation of the internal mammary artery (Vineberg operation) .'' An extension of this procedure to include epicardiectomy, seropericardiec-tomy and free omental grafting (Vineberg procedure) has been proposed on the basis of increased survival following experi...

OBJECTIVE To assess the clinical prognosis of patients with coronary artery diseases undergoing percutaneous revascularization with drug-eluting stent implantation in the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery. METHODS One hundred and seventy consecutive patients with mean age of 65 years, 49 of them females (29%), undergoing implantation of at least one drug-eluting stent in our m...

The article presents a clinical observation of first appeared non-ST elevation myocardial infarction in 43-year-old young woman with three risk factors: chronic stress, smoking, dyslipidemia. Significant stenosis the LAD (left anterior descending artery) was diagnosed and surgical intervention performed: plasty stenting LAD.
