Surgical revascularization for coronary artery lesions secondary to Kawasaki disease has been rarely reported in adult patients. We reported an adult case with few coronary risk factors but with multiple coronary artery aneurysms and obstructive lesions presumably secondary to Kawasaki disease who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with multiple arterial grafts. The postoperative ...

inflammation plays a major role in coronary artery disease (cad). currently, it is unclear, whether cytomegalovirus (cmv) infection is associated with the risk of the atherosclerosis. the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of anti- cmv antibodies in cad and non cad patients undergoing artery bypass surgery. sera from 157 patients who underwent coronary angiography were tested for...

objective(s): apolipoprotein e genotype (apoe) polymorphism affects lipid levels and coronary artery disease (cad) risk. the aim of this study was to study the association of the apolipoprotein e genotypes with coronary artery disease in the iranian population.   materials and methods: the apolipoprotein e genotype in dna samples extracted from 66 cad+ patients and 61 control subjects by restri...

BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease (CAD) is associated with the numbers of risk factors causing coronary atherosclerosis. Coronary artery stenosis is mostly caused by coronary atherosclerosis. OBJECTIVE This study aims to analyze the association between coronary artery stenosis and cardiovascular risk factors. METHODS An observational study was conducted among CAD patients. The diagnostic c...

Introduction: Coronary artery anomalies are rare clinical entities reported in 0.6% to 5.6% of diagnostic coronary angiographies. Anomalous origins of coronary arteries from distal segments are rarely reported. Presented herein is a coronary anomaly in which the circumflex artery (CX) originated as a continuation of the posterolateral branch of the right coronary artery (RCA) w...

background: the incidence of stroke is 2.1-5.2% in bypass surgery patients with a mortality of 0-38%. this study was designed to evaluate the incidence of significant carotid artery stenosis and its related risk factors in candidates for coronary artery bypass graft (cabg) surgery. methods: 1045 consecutive candidates for cabg underwent carotid artery doppler examination in a prospective study....
