Treatment Strategies and Outcomes of Coronary Artery Fistulas in a Turkish Adult Population
(ORTADOGU AD PRES & PUBL CO, 2011)
Objective: Congenital coronary artery fistulas (CAF) are uncommon abnormalities that are known as abnormal communications between a coronary artery and a cardiac chamber or a major vessel. Incidence of CAF ranges between ...
MicroRNA-221/222 expression in atherosclerotic coronary artery plaque versus internal mammarian artery and in peripheral blood samples
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2018)
Background: Atherosclerosis is a disease of the arterial wall with predilection to some sites on others. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of the non-coding RNAs regulating the target gene expression at post-transcriptional ...
Thoracic Stent Graft Implantation for Aortic Coarctation with Patent Ductus Arteriosus via Retroperitoneal Iliac Approach in the Presence of Small Sized Femoral Artery
(HINDAWI LTD, 2016)
Endovascular stent graft implantation is a favorable method for complex aortic coarctation accompanied by patent ductus arteriosus. Herein, an 18-year-old woman with complex aortic coarctation and patent ductus arteriosus ...
Association between MMP-3 and MMP-9 polymorphisms and coronary artery disease
(SPANDIDOS PUBL LTD, 2016)
Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3 and MMP-9 polymorphisms are characterized by plaque stability in coronary arteries. The aim of the current study was to investigate the 5A/6A polymorphism in the MMP-3 gene and C/T polymorphism ...
Associations between common 3435 C > T variants of the multi-drug resistance [MDR-1 (ABCB1)] gene and abdominal aortic aneurysm: a pilot study
(EKIN TIBBI YAYINCILIK LTD STI-EKIN MEDICAL PUBL, 2011)
Background: The aim of the study was to reveal the effect of the C3435T MDR-1 gene polymorphism in AAA, which has been postulated to play a role in the inflammatory process and protection against oxidative stress. Methods: ...
The proinflammatory cytokine-mediated protective effects of pentoxifylline, iloprost, and cilostazol on a mitigating lung injury induced by lower limb ischemia and reperfusion in rats
(BAYCINAR MEDICAL PUBL-BAYCINAR TIBBI YAYINCILIK, 2014)
Background: This study aims to elucidate whether pentoxifylline, iloprost and cilostazol mitigates acute lung injury induced by lower limb ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) and their protective effects cover cytokines. Methods: ...
Investigation of the vasorelaxant effects of moxonidine and its relaxation mechanism on the human radial artery when used as a coronary bypass graft
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2015)
In both low- and high-risk patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting, the internal mammary artery is the first choice of arterial graft, and the second choice is the radial artery (RA). Unfortunately, RA spasms ...
eNOS G894T Polymorphism and Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC, 2010)
Background: The genetic risk factors that contribute to the risk of developing abdominal aortic aneurysm ( AAA) are poorly understood. We assessed the association of endothelial nitric oxide synthase ( eNOS) gene polymorphism ...
An unusual condition during internal jugular vein catheterisation: vertebral artery catheterisation
(CLINICS CARDIVE PUBL PTY LTD, 2016)
Vertebral artery cannulation is an unusual complication during internal jugular vein cannulation. We report a case of vertebral artery cannulation, which occurred during an attempt to cannulate the right internal jugular ...
Bleeding complications during cardiac electronic device implantation in patients receiving antithrombotic therapy: is there any value of local tranexamic acid?
(BMC, 2016)
Background: The perioperative use of antithrombotic therapy is associated with increased bleeding risk after cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantation. Topical application of tranexamic acid (TXA) is effective ...
