Growth inhibition of bovine pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells following long-term heparin treatment.

29 Nov 2009 Heparin (HP) inhibits pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell (PASMC) growth in vitro and vascular remodeling in vivo. Bârzu et al. (1994) suggested that the antiproliferative effect of HP on rat aortic smooth muscle cell in vitro diminishes with ... Read more...

Idiopathic pulmonary artery aneurysm.

22 Nov 2009 Pulmonary artery aneurysm (PAA) is an uncommon lesion, which may be associated with different etiologies including congenital cardiovascular diseases, systemic vasculitis, connective tissue diseases, infections, and trauma. Idiopathic PAA is ... Read more...

A symptomatic neonate with tetralogy of Fallot, an absent pulmonary valve, and a single coronary artery with a major fistula.

30 Oct 2009 We present a case with a rare combination of tetralogy of Fallot with an absent pulmonary valve, and a single coronary artery with a major fistula to the main pulmonary artery. Myocardial ischemia developed in response to increasing shunt flow ... Read more...
