โฆ Synopsis
We report the use of coronary stenting to treat disease in an anomalous coronary artery. The patient had a single coronary artery with anomalous left anterior descending artery arising from the right sinus of Valsalva and coursing between the aorta and pulmonary artery. Although balloon angioplasty has been used in patients with anomalous coronary arteries, this is the first report of stent placement in this circumstance.

## Abstract This retrospective study examined the utilization of coronary stent placement versus PTCA in hemodialysis patients with obstructive coronary disease. Prior studies have demonstrated suboptimal results with PTCA owing primarily to high rates of restenosis. We identified 19 hemodialysis p
The radial artery has been used as a free bypass graft with excellent results. An autologous vein graft-coated stent, a novel type of stent developed at our institution, has been applied successfully under both experimental and clinical conditions. To extend the spectrum of biological linings for co
