Abstract 4142012: Ectasias of Multiple Coronary Arteries and a Coronary Cameral Fistula Between Right Coronary Artery and Coronary Sinus

Circulation

Coronary angiography revealed a tortuous and extremely aneurysmal RCA, as well as multivessel coronary artery disease (mvCAD) involving LAD, D1, LCx, OM1. Multislice CT angiography further characterized the RCA, which extends to the coronary sinus (CS) distally forming a coronary cameral fistula (CCF).

Does Erectile Dysfunction Improve After Bypass Surgery?

MIBHS

One of the most effective treatments for severe coronary artery disease, a type of cardiovascular disease, is coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), a procedure designed to restore blood flow to the heart. But does coronary artery bypass surgery also improve erectile capacity?
