Therefore, early thrombosis of a coronary vein may occur and hamper lead extraction. The shape and configuration of the specific LV lead may also play a role in the forming of a thrombus on such a ...

A 53-year-old German man became the first person to undergo a new, non-surgical technique that turned one of his coronary veins into a coronary artery to bypass a blockage, according to a special ...

Postmortem examination revealed a dense network of coronary veins (Figure 1B) and a very short coronary arterial segment in the posterior atrioventricular sulcus (Figure 1C).

The coronary vein then drains either into the splenic vein near its junction with the portal vein or into the portal vein itself.

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 ...

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 ...

Coronary vein graft atherosclerotic lesions are more concentric and diffuse than native atherosclerotic lesions, and are more susceptible to thrombosis and rupture 26.

A novel device called venous external support (VEST) may lead to increased longevity and durability of saphenous (leg) vein grafting during coronary artery bypass surgery, according to a new trial ...

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.

Vein graft perforation can be associated with major adverse events such as pericardial tamponade, cardiogenic shock, myocardial infarction or death. Advanced age of the vein graft, stent oversizing, ...

When a modified surgical technique was used to gently remove sections of leg veins used in coronary artery bypass surgery, the grafts were less likely to become blocked and fewer people had a ...

Can thrombosis be both the cause and the result of LV lead fixation in a coronary vein? This case report of a 77 year-old woman details the incident.
