To simulate blood flow inside brain aneurysms, researchers from Japan have developed a computational method that combines 4D ...

Herein, we present a previously undescribed coronary artery anomaly in which the left anterior descending (LAD) branch is divided into many small arteries, resembling a ponytail. This unique 'ponytail ...

Coronary haemodynamics A basic appreciation of the laws of vascular haemodynamics is useful to understand the derivation, application and interpretation of coronary physiology assessment in clinical ...

Learn about the anatomy of the heart and how its chambers, valves, and vessels work together to maintain effective blood circulation throughout the body to sustain life.

Introduction Coronary circulation There are two basic types of coronary vessels: conductance and resistance vessels. The epicardial arteries, right and left, and its main and major branches that ...

A DSA arising from the proximal segment was detected, providing collateral circulation to the left anterior descending (LAD) artery through several septal branches (Figures 1C-1D). Angiography of the ...

When the coronary arteries narrow to the point that blood flow to the heart muscle is limited (coronary artery disease), a network of tiny blood vessels in the heart that aren't usually open ...

Post-procedural and long-term functional outcomes of jailed side branches in stented coronary bifurcation lesions assessed with side branch Murray law–based quantitative flow ratio ...

Introduction Current guideline recommend functional imaging for myocardial ischaemia if coronary CT angiography (CTA) has shown coronary artery disease (CAD) of uncertain functional significance.
