Sutureless hemostasis of a Coronary Sinus rupture with Hydrofit
Indian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2020Co-Authors: Yoshinori Nakahara, Takeyuki KanemuraAbstract:Coronary Sinus rupture (CSR) is a rare operative complication, and a standard procedure for its treatment has not been established. We report successful repair of a CSR in a 68-year-old man who underwent total arch replacement for type A acute aortic dissection. CSR was caused by the Coronary Sinus cannulation for retrograde cardioplegia and was detected during cardiopulmonary bypass weaning. We applied an elastomeric sealant with a bovine pericardium patch on the beating heart. After manual compression for 2 min, complete hemostasis was achieved. A clampless and sutureless hemostasis for repairing Coronary Sinus rupture is a simple, fast, and effective technique.

major Coronary Sinus abnormalities identification of occurrence and significance in radiofrequency ablation of supraventricular tachycardia
American Heart Journal, 1994Co-Authors: Chernen Chiang, Shihann Chen, Chinruey Yang, Chenchuen Cheng, Tsuruey Wu, Dershiang Tsai, Chuenwong Chiou, Chungyin Chen, Shihpu Wang, Benjamin N ChiangAbstract:Abstract Coronary Sinus catheterization is important in electrophysiologic study of patients with supraventricular tachycardia. It can provide an anatomic guide for localization of slow atrioventricular nodal pathway and accessory pathways in the posteroseptal area and left-sided atrioventricular ring. However, the morphologic features of the Coronary Sinus and its significance in patients with supraventricular tachycardia have not been determined. Four hundred eight patients with accessory pathway-mediated tachyarrhythmia and atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia underwent Coronary arteriography for a Coronary Sinus venogram before electrophysiologic study and radiofrequency ablation. The venous phase of left Coronary arteriography that delineated the morphologic features of the Coronary Sinus was carefully evaluated and recorded in multiple projections. Major Coronary Sinus abnormalities were defined, and they were found in 12 patients (2.9%). Six patients had angulation of the Coronary Sinus, 4 patients had hypoplasia of the Coronary Sinus, 1 patient had narrowing of the proximal Coronary Sinus, and 1 patient had a fistula from persistent left superior vena cava to the Coronary Sinus. Of 175 patients with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia, only 1 patient had major Coronary Sinus abnormalities (proximal angulation), whereas of 233 patients with accessory pathway-mediated tachycardia, 11 patients had major Coronary Sinus abnormalities (0.6% vs 4.7%, p

Coronary Sinus Stent: Could It Help in Refractory Chronic Stable Angina?
Current Cardiology Reports, 2016Co-Authors: Wael ElmallahAbstract:Refractory angina is a life-disabling disease, even with the discovery of antianginal drugs and the advances in revascularization surgically or percutaneously to improve symptoms. Over the last decade a renewal of interest in an old surgical modality of narrowing the Coronary Sinus has evolved. Although the surgical procedure idea was born in 1940 it was overshadowed by the development of Coronary artery bypass graft and percutaneous interventions. Recently, a percutaneous approach of reducing the Coronary Sinus size has been developed and several clinical studies have been reported in refractory angina patients. We review the history of Coronary Sinus intervention, and explore Coronary Sinus stent possible mechanism of action, device design, and the clinical data supporting its use.
