BACKGROUND: Evaluate the predictive value of myocardial stress measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on the severity of coronary artery stenosis and acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In the early stage of acute myocardial infarction, many imaging findings are negative, and MRI myocardial stress detection is controversial in the diagnosis of this aspect. Therefore, it is necessary to determine whether MRI myocardial stress can diagnose acute myocardial infarction. METHODS: A total of 120 patients were divided into an AMI group and non-AMI group...

A bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most prevalent congenital cardiac anomaly, in which the valve has only two leaflets, instead of the normal three. Patients with a BAV have an increased risk of aneurysm formation and the development of an aortic dissection. Vascular smooth muscle cells in both the non- and dilated aortic wall are characterized by a maturation defect in all BAV patients, as compared to patients with a tricuspid aortic valve, which can contribute to inherent developmental susceptibility. Besides structural abnormalities of the vascular wall, a turbulent blood flow, caused by bicuspid valve geometry, could expedite the pathological process in the aortic wall, leading to aortopathy...

Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a congenital vascular disease in which interventional radiologists can play both diagnostic and therapeutic roles in patient management. The diagnosis of pulmonary AVM is simple and can usually be made based on CT images. Endovascular treatment, that is, selective embolization of the pulmonary artery feeding the nidus of the pulmonary AVM, and/or selectively either the nidus or draining vein, has become a first-line treatment with advances in interventional devices...

We present the case of a 45-year-old man who had presented with ubiquitous chylous reflux that manifested as a bilateral inguinal chylous cutaneous fistula and a voluminous right cervical chylous cyst. He had difficulty breathing owing to compression of the airway. Anastomosis of the chylous cyst wall with the external jugular vein was performed using a valvular vein segment to prevent blood reflux. Postoperatively, anticoagulant therapy was initiated. We found this derivative surgical procedure to be an effective and minimally invasive technique for complex lymphatic anomalies...

Bovine juvenile angiomatosis (BJA) comprises a group of single or multiple proliferative vascular anomalies in the skin and viscera of affected calves. The purpose of this study was to characterize the clinicopathological phenotype of a 1.5-month-old Simmental calf with multiple cutaneous, subcutaneous, and visceral vascular hamartomas, which were compatible with a generalized form of BJA, and to identify genetic cause for this phenotype by whole-genome sequencing (WGS). The calf was referred to the clinics as a result of its failure to thrive and the presence of multiple cutaneous and subcutaneous nodules, some of which bled abundantly following spontaneous rupture...

Autophagy is a conserved process by which cytoplasmatic elements are sequestered in vesicles and degraded after their fusion with lysosomes, thus recycling the precursor molecules. The autophagy-mediated removal of redundant/harmful/damaged organelles and biomolecules plays not only a replenishing function, but protects against stressful conditions through an adaptive mechanism. Autophagy, known to play a role in several pathological conditions, is now gaining increasing attention also in the perspective of the identification of the pathogenetic mechanisms at the basis of ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA), a localized or diffused dilatation of the aorta with an abnormal widening greater than 50 percent of the vessel's normal diameter...

Chest wall neoplasms mainly include malignancies, metastatic in particular. Differential diagnosis should include clinical data; tumor location, extent, delineation; the degree of homogeneity; the presence of calcifications; the nature of bone destruction and the degree of vascularization. The aim of the paper is to present both the benefits and limitations of ultrasound for the diagnosis of chest wall neoplasms. The neoplastic process may be limited to the chest wall; it may spread from the chest wall into the intrathoracic structures or spread from the inside of the chest towards the chest wall...

Poland syndrome is a rare congenital malformation associated with various degrees of thoracic and homolateral upper limb abnormalities. We report the case of a 7-year old girl who underwent exploration for depression of the left hemithorax associated with homolateral subclavicular mass. CT scan showed that the deformation of the thoracic wall was related to the absence of left pectoralis major muscle sterno-costal heads insertion associated with agenesis of the pectoralis minor muscle and hypoplasia of the anterior arches of the first six corresponding ribs...

The term 'epigenetics' refers to heritable, reversible DNA or histone modifications that affect gene expression without modifying the DNA sequence. Epigenetic modulation of gene expression also includes the RNA interference mechanism. Epigenetic regulation of gene expression is fundamental during development and throughout life, also playing a central role in disease progression. The transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) and its downstream effectors are key players in tissue repair and fibrosis, extracellular matrix remodelling, inflammation, cell proliferation and migration...

In order to achieve a minimal complication rate there is a need for a comprehensive strategy. This means in the first line preventive steps which include patient positioning, suitable approaches and access, an appropriately qualified surgical team as well as a carefully planned dissection and preparation. Furthermore, a supply of additional instrumentation, such as thrombectomy catheters, special vascular clamps and even extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and a heart-lung machine (HLM) in cases of centrally located lesions should be on stand-by...

BACKGROUND: The expression of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) and Smad3 regulates extracellular matrix homeostasis and inflammation in aortic aneurysms. The expression of Smad3 depends on signaling by angiotensin II (AngII) receptor pathways through TGF-β receptor-dependent and -independent pathways. METHODS: To determine the expression of AngII type 1 (AT1R) and type 2 receptors (AT2R), TGF-β, and Smad3 in thoracic aortic aneurysms, we performed immunohistochemistry testing on tissue and cultured cells derived from subjects with Marfan syndrome (MFS) and bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) malformation and from normal aortas of subjects who were organ donors...

A 49-year-old male presented with a rare case of acute lower extremity paresis caused by spontaneous thrombosis of a spinal conus perimedullary arteriovenous fistula (AVF) after a subacute myelopathic course. Magnetic resonance imaging obtained after deterioration showed that the flow voids around the conus medullaris had changed from hypointense to hyperintense lesions. Surgery with thoracic laminoplasty was performed to determine the nature of the lesion because angiography was negative. During surgery, thrombosed abnormal vessels were observed, consistent with thrombosis of a spinal conus perimedullary AVF...

Lymphangiomas are uncommun congenital malformations of the lymphatic system, that involve the skin and subcutaneous tissues. Of the several types of treatment, surgical excision has been the preferred. There is a high recurrence rate because lymphangiomas tend to infiltrate the surrounding tissues. The bleomycin is a cytotoxic antitumoral antibiotic, that causes modifications of DNA. It has been also successfully used in intralesional injection treatment of cystic hygromas and haemangiomas, based specifically on a high sclerosing effect on vascular endothelium...

We describe a case of an elderly man known for coronary artery disease (previous bypass surgery) hospitalized for ischemia in inferior wall. Since the operation, the patient underwent coronary angiographies. Due to the impossibility of selective engagement of left subclavian artery from femoral access, LIMA was always visualized through a right radial approach. Despite the suspicious of abnormal origin of left subclavian artery, aortic angiography was never performed. During the third angiography, the double aortic arch was coincidentally visualized by using a left Amplatz catheter...
