RCA, Right coronary artery; CABG, coronary artery bypass graft; IQR, interquartile range; LIMA, left internal mammary artery; RIMA, right internal mammary artery; ICU, intensive care unit. ∗ Mann–Whitney U test. † Fisher exact test. ‡ Post-hoc analysis with Bonferroni correction (for...
We have presented a case of angioplasty of a chronically occluded right coronary artery. The occlusion had been present for 6 wks by clinical estimates. The length of the occluded segment (approximately 55 cm) did not preclude a successful outcome. Proper selection and manipulation of angioplasty ...
Has the in situ right internal thoracic artery been overlooked? An angiographic study of the radial artery, internal thoracic arteries and saphenous vein g... The right internal thoracic artery is being used infrequently despite favorable observational angiographic data. Conversely, the radial artery ut...
There were Q waves and ST elevations in leads V1-V6, D1, aVL and aVR, as well as marked ST depressions in the inferior leads with right bundle branch block (RBBB) and left anterior fascicular block (LAFB) on the ECG. The left main coronary artery (LMCA) was totally occluded with ...
IRA = infarct-related artery; LAD = left anterior descending artery; LCX = left circumflex artery; LM = left main coronary artery; RCA = right coronary artery; TIMI = Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction; other abbreviations as in Table 1. ∗ Includes 15 patients who received hemodynamic supp...

Sixteen patients underwent 16 coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG) to totally occluded coronary arteries (TOCA), including 12 left anterior descending coronary arteries (LAD) and 4 right coronary arteries (RCA). Of these 16 CABGs, 2 of the RCA grafts became obstructed postoperatively and the rem...
However, if the left main coronary artery is occluded, such an approach is often very challenging, and alternative strategies are adopted. We present a case of attempted retrograde reopening of an occluded left main stent through the right coronary artery, a sequential radial graft from the right...
