Your coronary arteries branch from your aorta, the largest artery in the body and the source of oxygenated blood to the entire body. The coronary arteries are another part of the vascular system ...

The low diastolic aortic pressures can significantly affect coronary perfusion pressures, as coronary flow occurs during diastole. Afterload (peripheral resistance) is an important factor in the ...

in patients with stable coronary artery disease and severe aortic stenosis who are undergoing transcatheter aortic-valve implantation (TAVI) remains unclear. In an international trial, we randomly ...

But when most doctors talk about cardiovascular disease, they're usually talking about coronary artery disease (CAD), peripheral artery disease (PAD), cerebrovascular disease (CVD), or aortic ...

This forced the blood in the aorta not only up and down, but also back to the roots of the coronary arteries, thus increasing the oxygen supply to the heart muscle. Meanwhile the ventricle relaxed ...

The FET procedure involves placing a hybrid graft, a combination of a surgical graft and a stent graft, resembling an elephant’s trunk. The upper portion replaces the aortic arch, while the lower ...

Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography revealed a mobile mass on the right coronary cusp of the aortic valve. Multislice CT demonstrated a significant narrowing in the proximal left ...

and coronary artery contractility declined by 70%. When experiments were performed using aortic VSMCs, results were similar to those in coronary artery VSMCs. Next, ARSE expression was examined in ...

CAO incidence in the general TAVI population remains low (⁠1%), yet in patients with protruding coronary stents, the risk is substantially higher. Techniques such as bioprosthetic or native aortic ...
