A single coronary artery with a single ostium from sinus 2 (2 R L Cx) is rare and difficult to transfer. A 6-day-old male neonate was diagnosed with dextro-transposition of the great arteries with an intact ventricular septum at birth. Computed tomography revealed the presence of a single coronary artery with a single ostium from sinus 2 (2 R L Cx). We performed a new coronary transfer technique involving a tubular pouch using the original aortic tissue for this single coronary artery. The postoperative course was uneventful, and postoperative computed tomography revealed a smooth coronary route with no stenosis.

Introduction And Objectives: Tissue attenuation reduces the specificity of the myocardial perfusion imaging single photon emission tomography (SPECT), which leads reduced diagnostic accuracy. The aim of this study is to compare performances of non-attenuation corrected (NAC), computed tomography based-attenuation corrected (AC) and prone images for qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis of myocardial perfusion SPECT in diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD).
Materials And Methods: Eightysix patients in whom NAC, AC and prone images were obtained with SPECT at Selcuk University Faculty of Medicine, and whose coronary angiography/CT coronary angiography was completed within 3 months, were retrospectively studied.
Single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex does not directly affect muscle sympathetic nerve activity in humans.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is applied both in research settings and clinically, notably in treating depression through the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC). We have recently shown that transcranial alternating current stimulation of the dlPFC partially entrains muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) to the stimulus. We, therefore, aimed to further explore the sympathetic properties of the dlPFC, hypothesizing that single-pulse TMS could generate de novo MSNA bursts.

Background: Percutaneous coronary intervention of severely calcified lesions is limited by inadequate stent expansion and poor clinical outcomes. Over the past decade, several devices and techniques have been developed for calcium modification and lesion preparation. Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) is a novel tool in this context.

Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury represents a significant clinical challenge with limited therapeutic options. Single-cell RNA sequencing and bioinformatics analyses have revealed complex cellular interactions within cardiac tissue, highlighting the crucial role of cardiomyocytes in intercellular communication. During I/R injury, cardiomyocytes experience severe endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, leading to detrimental intercellular communication that affects surrounding cells, particularly promoting the transformation of macrophages toward a pro-inflammatory phenotype.

Background And Objective: Organ transplantation is a vital treatment for patients with end-stage organ diseases, and macrophages play a key role in the rejection process. This study seeks to pinpoint key genes responsible for the dynamic changes in macrophages during rejection and to evaluate their impact on macrophage polarization through bioinformatics analysis.
Methods: We selected single-cell sequencing data of mouse heart transplant models from Genome Sequence Archive to construct a dynamic landscape of immune cells during acute rejection.
