Abstract

Even after performed mammary artery bypass surgery, some patients continued to have clinical manifestations of angina pectoris. This may be associated with the development of coronary stealing syndrome due to the fact that the native intrathoracic artery has large lateral branches. Current methods for embolization of arteries of different diameters make it possible to accomplish this task reasonably safely and in full measure. This paper describes a clinical case of reembolization of the lateral branch of a mammary artery shunt with an intravascular coil.

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
