Background: The morphology of the pulmonary veins (PVs) before and after segmental isolation of the PVs has not been sufficiently characterized. Methods and Results: Multi-slice computed ...

If possible we use retrievable filters, which should ideally be removed within the recommended time scale. Suggested approach: A chronic history, markedly elevated systolic pulmonary arterial ...

Various conditions can lead to carotid artery neck pain. For instance, some people experience carotidynia, which is inflammation of the blood vessels. Carotid artery dissection can also cause pain ...

Right ventricular–pulmonary artery coupling (RV-PAC) describes the energy transfer within the whole cardiopulmonary unit. Thus, it can identify the earliest signs of decompensation even before ...

GradCAM++ technique highlighted physiologically meaningful PCG segments in example pulmonary hypertension recordings. Digital stethoscope–acquired phonocardiograms coupled with artificial intelligence ...

Here we present a brief review of the proximal (M1) segment of the middle cerebral artery anatomy and provide practical methods to recognize and separate the M1 and M2 segments. In keeping with the ...

Ltd, Linyi, China Background Basilar artery trunk aneurysms (BTAs) are rare intracranial aneurysms ... after which the aneurysm was loosely or densely packed with detachable coils before the stent was ...

Generalised constrictor stimuli that may precipitate spasm in the hyper-reactive coronary artery segments include autonomic nervous system influences and endothelin-1. The autonomic nervous system has ...

CBT, catheter-based therapy; CDT, catheter-directed thrombolysis; RV, right ventricle; PA, pulmonary artery. While CDT promises reduced exposure to systemic thrombolytic therapies and potential for ...

Published in Cell Genomics, the research explored how the copy number variation, or CNV, of certain DNA segments can influence cognitive abilities. Analyzing the CNV of nearly 260,000 people in ...
