The right coronary artery (RCA) is one of two main coronary vessels that supply the myocardium (the other being the left coronary artery). It originates from the right aortic sinus of the ascending aorta and runs in the right part of atrioventricular groove (coronary sulcus) wrapping around ...
covered by bridging myocardial fibers, as well as sections of thegreat cardiac vein. The first branch of this artery is theleftconusarteryclose to the point of origin. It often decussates to anastomose with the contralateral counterpart, as well as the vasa vasora of the aorta andpulmonary ...
The mature pattern is nitric oxide dependent; we tested whether it is also flow dependent. Intercostal arteries of anesthetized rabbits were occluded, sham operated, or left alone. Uptake of rhodamine-labeled albumin was assessed by quantitative fluorescence microscopy of the sections through the aorta...
