  • CABG may be performed as an emergency procedure in the context of an ST-segment elevation MI (STEMI) in cases where it has not been possible to perform percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or where PCI has failed and there is persistent pain and ischemia threatening a significant area of myocardium despite medical therapy.

  • The present case illustrates a fatal case of cerebral arterial thrombosis shortly after COVID-19 vaccination. (e-jmls.org)
  • The term dissection refers primarily to an elevation or separation of the intimal lining of an artery from the subjacent media and, less frequently, to separation of the media from the adventitia. (medscape.com)
  • Dissection is usually accompanied by hemorrhage into the arterial wall, which creates, as demonstrated in the first image below, a blind pouch or (uncommonly) a parallel subintimal second channel. (medscape.com)
  • The second image demonstrates the angiographic characteristics of a chronic subadventitial dissection of the right internal carotid artery. (medscape.com)

  • 50.8% CAD cases) were imaged with a multi-sequence, carotid CMR protocol at 1.5T. For each segment of the carotid, lumen area, wall area, total vessel area (lumen area + wall area), mean wall thickness and the presence or absence of calcification and lipid-rich necrotic core were recorded bilaterally.

  • Spontaneous recanalization of occluded internal carotid artery (ICA) does not frequently occur. (neurointervention.org)
  • The analysis of myocardial perfusion change is derived from the arterial and microvascular image data. (medscape.com)
  • The aims of premedication are to minimize myocardial oxygen demands by reducing heart rate and systemic arterial pressure and to improve myocardial blood flow with vasodilators. (medscape.com)
  • The association between increased arterial stiffness and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) may be influenced by left ventricular performance. (medsci.org)
  • Although there were several parameters using in the assessment of arterial stiffness, the gold standard of non-invasive arterial stiffness measurement is carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity [ 3 ]. (medsci.org)
