BACKGROUND Saphenous venous graft (SVG) aneurysm is a very rare but potentially fatal complication of the coronary artery bypass surgery. CASE REPORT We reported a case of 72-year-old man admitted to hospital because of atypical chest pain related to body motions in horizontal position, especially to the left side. Pain was followed by dispnea, palpitations, fatigue, cough, yellow sputum expe...

Ketcher is an open-source web-based chemical structure editor developed by SciTouch LLC. Being written on pure JavaScript it incorporates high performance, good portability and light weight. Editor supports late versions of all most popular browsers, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Opera and Chrome. It is developed with minimum third-party code to remain its light weight. It is plat...

Much attention has been focused on the provision of information graphics and visualisations inside a web browser. Currently available infovis toolkits produce graphical output by either injecting SVG nodes into the DOM or using the JavaScript Canvas 2D API. FluidDiagrams is a prototype information visualisation framework written in JavaScript which uses the WebGL 3D JavaScript API for its outpu...

Aneurysm of a saphenous vein graft (SVG) is a rare but fatal complication of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. The development of SVG aneurysms appears usually about 10-20 years after the operation at an estimated rate of <1%. A 68-year-old male was referred to the emergency department after frequent episodes of dyspnea, chest pain and hemoptysis. He previously had CABG surgery one y...

There are contents with a strong visual component, e.g., in the engineering field, such as technical drawings, charts, diagrams, etc., virtually inaccessible for people with visual disabilities (blind, visually impaired, etc.). These contents are mostly vector based and can generally be found on the Web in various formats, but the recommended one is SVG. The authors created an online applicatio...

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains a commonly performed procedure for obstructive coronary artery disease that is not treatable with either medical therapy or percutaneous intervention. It has been well studied and documented that using the left internal thoracic artery (LITA) reduces morbidity and mortality compared with using saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) when performing a CABG.1 O...

OBJECTIVES The study was done to assess patients in the Post-Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (Post-CABG) trial to determine prognostic factors for atherosclerosis progression. BACKGROUND Saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) are effective in relieving angina and, in certain patient subsets, in prolonging life. However, the progression of atherosclerosis in many of these grafts limits their usefulness. ...

Grailog embodies a systematics to visualize knowledge sources by graphical elements. Its main benefit is that the resulting visual presentations are easier to read for humans than the original symbolic source code. In this paper we introduce a methodology to handle the mapping from Datalog RuleML, serialized in XML, to an SVG representation of Grailog, also serialized in XML, via eXtensible Sty...

AIMS Newer-generation everolimus-eluting stents (EES) have been shown to improve clinical outcomes compared with early-generation sirolimus-eluting (SES) and paclitaxel-eluting stents (PES) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Whether this benefit is maintained among patients with saphenous vein graft (SVG) disease remains controversial. METHODS AND RESULTS We asse...

The article by Coolong et al1 in this issue of Circulation identifies potential predictors of 30-day major adverse cardiac events (MACE) after saphenous vein graft (SVG) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with embolic protection devices (EPDs). These predictors, angiographic estimates of plaque volume and SVG degeneration, were derived from patient-level data on 3958 patients enrolled in ...
