Introduction: Coronary artery dissection and myocardial infarction happen rarely after BCT (3). In the following, a rare case of acute (AMI) caused by left anterior descending (LAD) following due to suffering blow in boxing is presented. Case presentation: A 22-year-old professional athlete presented with chest pain dyspnea from week ago our center. before visit, patient referred general hospit...

The study aims to determine the age-gender distribution of individuals with and without coronary artery disease (CAD) analyze percentage size CAD detected in different segments by gender, including right (RCA), left main (LMCA), circumflex (Cx), anterior descending (LAD). research was conducted Batman Training Research Hospital's digital subtraction angiography (DSA) unit using data obtained be...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to compare 3-year risk-adjusted survival in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. BACKGROUND Coronary artery bypass graft surgery and angioplasty are two common treatments for coronary artery disease. For referral purposes, it is important to know the relative pattern of surv...

We studied the effect of the preprocedural intravascular ultrasound findings on stent expansion and the pre- and postprocedural findings on the long-term clinical outcomes in patients undergoing drug-eluting stent implantation for unprotected left main (LM) bifurcation disease. Using a left anterior descending (LAD) pullback, we evaluated the ostial LAD artery (3 mm distal to the carina), the p...

To determine the role of endothelium-mediated flow-dependent coronary dilatation in humans, we studied the coronary dilatation exerted by maximal pharmacologic increase of coronary flow in 14 patients with normal coronary arteries. Biplane views of the circumflex (Cx) and left anterior descending (LAD) coronary arteries were obtained before and 80 seconds after inducing a maximal increase in fl...

Echocardiographic suprasternal relationships of the transverse aortic arch (TAA), right pulmonary artery (RPA) and left atrium (Y' LAD) were validated and angiographic-echocardiographic measurement correlations were made for each structure. Normal values were determined with respect to body surface area. In normals, regardless of age or body size, mean dimensional TAA/RPA ratio was 1.2:1 and Y'...

Patients irradiated for left-sided breast cancer have higher incidence of cardiovascular disease than those receiving irradiation for right-sided breast cancer. Most abnormalities were in the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery territory. We analyzed the relationships between preoperative examination results and irradiation dose to the LAD artery in patients with left-sided breast ca...

Linear IgA bullous dermatosis (LAD) is an autoimmune, chronic bullous disease affecting primarily young children and adults. Studies on LAD are relatively sparse and from Scandinavia we could only find a few case reports. Therefore we decided to conduct a retrospective investigation of patients seen at our department since 1972. A total of 23 patients were identified; 7 children (F:M ratio 0.75...

S ince the introduction by Floyd Loop at the Cleveland Clinic of the internal mammary artery (IMA) as an arterial graft to bypass the left anterior descending artery (LAD), it has been the gold standard conduit for revascularization, principally because it demonstrated its potent survival benefit in the long term follow-up.1 However, patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) under...
