[email protected] The use of the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) is preferred for the revascularization of a stenosed or occluded left anterior descending artery (LAD). Occlusion or stenosis of proximal part of the left subclavian artery (LSA) could induce reverse blood flow in LIMA called coronary subclavian steal syndrome (CSSS) and should be revascularized before coronary artery bypass ...

DOI: 10.5935/abc.20140160 An 80-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of an acute coronary syndrome. He had undergone coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) 12 years ago, which involved a left internal mammary artery (LIMA) graft to the left anterior descending coronary artery. Direct LIMA injection revealed an arteriovenous fistula between the distal portion of a grossly dilated LI...

background in this study, given the importance of gastrointestinal anastomosis in surgical procedures, attempts have been made to compare the results of employing magnetic compression anastomosis and magnetic coils in intestinal anastomosis of rats. materials and methods this study was an experimental trial on 60 rats which had been randomly divided into two experiment (30) and control (30) gro...

It is hypothesized that methylamine (MA) and semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) activity are involved in the cardiovascular complications in human diabetics. To test this, we 1) determined the acute vasoactive effects of MA (1-1,000 micromol/l) in uncontracted and norepinephrine (NE; 1 micromol/l)-precontracted human blood vessels used for coronary artery bypass grafts [left internal ...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2014206583 DESCRIPTION A 72-year-old man who had undergone coronary artery bypass grafting 18 years previously (including left internal mammary artery (LIMA) graft to the left anterior descending artery) presented with an acute coronary syndrome. He underwent angiography to...

BACKGROUND During coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), the ratio of powers of the fundamental frequency and its first harmonic (F0/H1) in fast Fourier transformation (FFT) analysis of the graft's flow waves has been used in the field of evaluation of the patency in anastomosis. But there is no report about using the FFT method to evaluate the magnitude of competitive flow. This study is aimi...

Transradial cardiac catheterization in patients with previous coronary artery bypass graft surgery can be technically challenging. The presence of a left internal mammary artery (LIMA) graft was previously considered a relative contraindication for a right radial procedure, but there are several reports demonstrating the feasibility and safety of LIMA angiography from a right radial access. Thi...
