Our group conducted this study for two purposes: first, to investigate whether the low invasive delivery of MSCs via the coronary vein restores cardiac function in chronic ischemic cardiomyopathy ...

Myocardial regeneration for endogenous cardioprotection is an attractive treatment option. The mechanisms by which cardiac cell therapy could induce myocardial regeneration and, ultimately, recovery ...

A recently implanted left ventricular lead was fixated in the coronary sinus due to thrombosis while attempting to reposition the lead because of phrenic nerve stimulation. A 77-year-old woman was ...

ECG-gated cardiac modified discrete cosine transform, or MDCT can now be used for improved imaging of the cardiac veins. Researchers from Germany have discovered a novel, less invasive imaging ...

A team of London scientists have taken a major step in making the use of artificial veins and arteries in coronary bypass grafts a reality. Researchers have developed artificial graft tissue by ...

After coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), evolocumab did not reduce saphenous vein graft disease rates at 2 years compared with placebo, according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line ...

Researchers are testing bioengineered veins in two sizes that could soon enable patients with poor veins to go on dialysis, undergo coronary artery bypass graft surgery, and more. Elizabeth Armstrong ...

Scott Johnstone (left), an associate professor with the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute, and Mark Joseph, a cardiothoracic surgeon with Carilion Clinic, led a study published in the Journal of ...

Keyhole saphenous vein har vesting is done under general anaesthesia at the same time as coronary artery bypass grafting. An endoscope (a thin flexible tube with a camera on the end) is inserted ...

AACHEN, Germany, Dec. 30 (UPI) -- German researchers say a new procedure for the imaging of coronary veins proves to be less invasive and has fewer complications. In addition, the new procedure ...

One of the following OPCS-4 codes is used to classify the coronary artery bypass grafting with a saphenous vein graft, depending on the number of arteries replaced: K40.1 Saphenous vein graft ...
