Hybrid Coronary Artery Revascularization for Takayasu Arteritis with Major Visceral Collateral Circulation from the Left Internal Thoracic Artery
Coronary arterial involvement in Takayasu arteritis (TA) is not uncommon. Herein, we describe a case of TA with celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery occlusion combined with coronary artery disease. Bilateral huge internal thoracic arteries (ITAs) and the inferior mesenteric artery provided the major visceral collateral circulation. After percutaneous intervention to the right coronary ar...
متن کاملDoes rich coronary collateral circulation distal to chronically occluded left anterior descending artery compete with graft flow?
OBJECTIVES In coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), graft flow distal to a mild stenosis can compete with relatively preserved native flow through the stenosis and the competition can result in graft stenosis. In chronic total occlusion (CTO), coronary collateral circulation, which is essential to maintain myocardial viability distal to CTO, varies in extent among patients and the extent can ...
متن کاملModeling the Circle of Willis Using Electrical Analogy Method under both Normal and Pathological Circumstances
Background and objective: The circle of Willis (COW) supports adequate blood supply to the brain. The cardiovascular system, in the current study, is modeled using an equivalent electronic system focusing on the COW.Method: In our previous study we used 42 compartments to model whole car- diovascular system. In the current study, nevertheless, we extended our model by using 63 compartments to m...
متن کامل[The importance of investigating the internal thoracic artery before coronary artery surgery in Leriche's syndrome].
Frequently, both peripheral and coronary artery disease are present in the same patient. In patients with abdominal aortic occlusion (i.e., Leriche's syndrome) or femoroiliac occlusion, collateral circulation to the lower extremities can originate in branches of the abdominal aorta or even in the internal thoracic artery (depending on the level of the occlusion). It is important to identify the...

Methods A 22 years old Asian woman with a history of cooling, swelling and pain of upper part of body during exercise, and cyanosis of left arm and both legs. At physical examination, she presented diminished pulses of the left arm and inferior limbs, and high blood pressure in the right arm. A Doppler showed switched flow in the left vertebral artery, and occlusion of left subclavian artery wi...
