Detection of a numeric value predictive of increased dose to left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) in radiotherapy of breast cancer
PURPOSE We have evaluated thoracic conformation of patients in order to derive a numeric value predictive of an increased dose to left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD), critical structure for the development of late radio induced cardiac morbidity. METHODS We have evaluated 91 patients (36-88 years) affected by breast cancer stage I-II (Tis-T1-2 N0-1), undergoing adjuvant radiotherap...
متن کاملCongenItal Anomallous Origin of Left Anterior Descending Artery from RIight Coronary Artery

متن کاملInfluence of different treatment planning techniques on radiation doses to the heart, left anterior descending coronary artery and left lung in the radiotherapy of left-sided breast cancer patients
Background: Breast-conserving surgery (BCS) followed by radiotherapy (RT) is the standard of care for women with breast cancer. Evidence shows that RT dose to the heart can result in ischemic heart disease. In this study we compared 3 different RT techniques were for heart, left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) and lung doses in left breast cancer patients after breast-conserving surge...
متن کاملEarly Clinical Outcomes and Mortality of Coronary Endarterectomy in the Left Anterior Descending Artery: A Single-Center Experience
Introduction: Although coronary endarterectomy is not an ideal procedure, it is the only available option for cardiac surgeons in some patients with diffuse coronary artery disease. Based on the majority of conducted studies, the results of coronary endarterectomy (including survival, graft patency, and recurrence of the symptoms of myocardial ischemia) are less prevalent than standard coronary...
متن کاملPredicting the Occlusion Site of the Left Anterior Descending Coronary Artery (LAD)
eperfusion therapy has become an established treatment for ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI), increasing the need for early diagnosis and early treatment. The clinical outcomes of STEMI depend mainly on infarct size, which is influenced by several factors, including the extent of area at risk, the degree of myocardial damage before reperfusion therapy, reperfusion injury,...
