Coronary artery aneurysms combined with left ventricular fistulas are rare; coronary revascularization strategy after coronary artery aneurysm resection is complex in such cases. We report the surgical repair of a giant right coronary artery aneurysm with a fistula in the left ventricle in a 79-year-old woman diagnosed with an aneurysm 50 mm in diameter. Surgical repair included resection of the coronary artery aneurysm, coronary artery bypass grafting to the posterior descending artery, and isolation of reconstructed right coronary circulation from the fistula. The postoperative course was uneventful; postoperative coronary angiography revealed a patent bypass graft unconnected to the left ventricle.

Ventricular arrhythmias induced by ischemia/reperfusion injury limits the therapeutic effect of early reperfusion therapy for acute myocardial infarction. This study investigated the protective effects of the β2-adrenergic receptor (β2-AR) agonist clenbuterol against ischemia/reperfusion-induced arrhythmias and the underlying mechanism. Anesthetized rats were subjected to 10-min left coronary artery occlusion and 10-min reperfusion in vivo.

Atherosclerosis is one of the leading causes of ischemic cardiovascular disease worldwide. Recent studies indicated that vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play an indispensable role in the progression of atherosclerosis. Exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have demonstrated promising clinical applications in the treatment of atherosclerosis.
