We report here on a case of ascending aortic dissection combined with anterior myocardial infarction that was caused by a retrograde dissection into the left main coronary trunk and proximal left anterior descending artery. We successfully treated this with stenting of the left main coronary artery and proximal left anterior descending artery, and this allowed for the definitive surgical correc...

the :union: of two different dental sprouts which can happen in any phase of dental development is commonly called fusion. this developmental anomaly may cause clinical problems including esthetic impairment, which are mainly treated by endodontic and surgical treatments. there are a few reports of conservative not invasive treatment of fused incisors teeth through restorative or prosthetic tec...

Patients are very much concerned nowadays about the replacement of their missing teeth. Missing anterior teeth a serious concern for patients, be it an aesthetic or functional loss. Aesthetics is harmony between and entire stomatognathic system. Aesthetic art that dentist must procure, with subtle touch artistry, appreciation, scientific knowledge, to recreate beauty smile suits face personalit...

We encountered the co-existence of an aberrant origin of the right subclavian artery and a myocardial bridge on the left anterior descending coronary artery in the cadaver of an 80-year-old Japanese woman during the course of educational dissection at Nagoya City University Medical School. We document the precise gross anatomical findings with some morphometric measurements. Neither an aberrant...

We present a case of symptomatic primary hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) associated with myocardial bridging of the left anterior descending (LAD) artery and suspected ischemia that could be related either to LAD artery compression or to microvascular perfusion abnormalities. MRI demonstrated the morphological appearance of myocardial hypertrophy, and coronary MR angiography evidenced the myo...

Coronary atherosclerosis, myocardial bridge, and coronary aneurysm are different causes of myocardial ischemia. Patients with cardiac ischemia can be complicated by acute cholecystitis. A 39-year-old man referred with chest pain and cold sweating and scheduled for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) because of severe stenosis in right coronary artery, aneurysm of left circumflex artery, and ...

Myocardial bridges are congenital structural abnormalities with debated clinical relevance; they may be traditionally asymptomatic or associated with various clinical manifestations, some of which may be potentially fatal. We report on a 60 years old man, who underwent a follow-up stress/rest myocardial perfusion scintigraphy developing asymptomatic exercise-induced ST-elevation and demonstrati...

This article describes a 16-year-old male who was referred to the Prosthodontics Department due avulsion of right upper central incisor and fracture left incisor; avulsed tooth lost at accident site. The patient refused have his teeth prepared except for broken so single cantilever retainer denture bridge made with fiber post design ovate pontic. Radiographic examination performed evaluate apic...
