1/403. Multiple coronary occlusions associated with ST-segment elevation.We describe the case of a patient with rapid sequential ST-segment elevation in different areas on the electrocardiogram (ECG) associated with lesions of differing etiologies in the corresponding coronary arteries. Prior reports of ST-segment elevations in multiple areas on the ECG have been from obstructions of single coronary vessels whose distribution overlapped separate areas on the ECG or spasm of multiple coronary arteries. We could find no prior reports of such rapid sequential ST-elevation in different areas on the ECG caused by two differing etiologies.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = coronary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/403. Coronary stent deployment in a young adult with Kawasaki disease and recurrent myocardial infarction.A 19-year-old man developed a huge coronary aneurysm and stenosis in the right coronary artery as a sequela of Kawasaki disease (KD) that resulted in recurrent episodes of myocardial infarction. Coronary ischemic events were successfully prevented after balloon angioplasty followed by coronary stent implantation into the stenotic lesion. The stent deployment may have an advantage compared with balloon angioplasty and other new devices for the treatment for patients with KD showing stenotic lesions without dense calcification.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.42857142857143keywords = coronary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/403. Fatal neutropenia and thrombocytopenia associated with ticlopidine after stenting.We report 3 cases of fatal neutropenia and thrombocytopenia associated with ticlopidine after coronary stenting. patients should be counseled about the early signs of infection and bleeding and to have regularly scheduled complete blood counts.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14285714285714keywords = coronary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/403. Thrombotic occlusion of the main stem of the left coronary artery in a neonate.Thrombotic coronary arterial occlusion, and myocardial infarction, are rare in the newborn. We report such a happening presenting shortly after birth with cardiogenic shock, no left ventricular output and a systemic circulation dependent on flow from a patent arterial duct.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.71429707450564keywords = coronary, circulation (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/403. Refractory coronary artery spasm with superimposed thrombosis: successful treatment with Palmaz-Schatz stent.Prinzmetal variant angina due to epicardial coronary artery spasm is a disease usually treated with drug therapy with successful results. A case of variant angina, refractory to conventional pharmacological treatment, and complicated by coronary artery thrombosis, was treated with percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and stenting with good immediate and late clinical results.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = coronary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/403. Coronary dissection and thrombosis associated with exercise testing three months after successful coronary stenting.exercise testing is commonly performed to assess the functional result of coronary revascularization procedures and is usually not associated with any complications. However, this report documents a rare case of coronary dissection and thrombosis, which resulted in an acute myocardial infarction, in a patient who underwent stress testing 3 months following successful coronary stent implantation.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = coronary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/403. Acute occlusion of the left main coronary artery following intracoronary ultrasound examination.Intracoronary ultrasound (ICUS) is generally considered as safe procedure, with a low complication rate. We describe a nearly fatal complication of a diagnostic ICUS study that was treated successfully with stent implantation in the left main coronary artery and discuss the indications and remaining risks of this procedure.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.4285714285714keywords = coronary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/403. Interesting cases from the University of texas Medical Branch.This article discusses the cases for four patients with unstable angina. The first case is an example of the "high-risk" patient with widespread ECG changes, heart failure, and enzymatic elevations during an episode of chest pain. The second patient illustrates an unusual cause of unstable angina in a young women. The third patient had a large thrombus visible on angiography and management strategies for dealing with intracoronary thrombus are discussed. The final patient had an extensive past cardiac history with two prior coronary artery bypass operations and we discuss the recent advances made in the treatment of degenerative vein graft disease.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.28571428571429keywords = coronary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/403. Total occlusion of the left main coronary artery in a young cocaine user.A young woman, currently user of cocaine, was admitted because of acute myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock. The coronary arteriography revealed total occlusion of the left main coronary artery. Despite the use of an intraaortic counterpulsation balloon and successful percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, she developed electromechanical dissociation, unresponsive to resuscitation manoeuvres.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = coronary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/403. Emergent right coronary artery thrombectomy with a jet aspiration thrombectomy catheter.A saline-jet aspiration thrombectomy (JAT) catheter was used in a patient with acute myocardial infarction. A right coronary arteriogram showed complete thrombotic occlusion at the proximal segment. With this catheter the thrombus was removed without complications in 5 sec. The patient underwent percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and placement of a Palmaz-Schatz stent after successful thrombectomy. thrombectomy with a JAT catheter was very useful in this patient.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.85714285714286keywords = coronary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
