Item Desialylation : -driven uptake of lipoprotein(a) to endothelial cells and monocytes / macrophages in diabetic cardiovascular patients: Is immune complex with natural antibodies a vehicle?Desialylation : -driven uptake of lipoprotein(a) to endothelial cells and monocytes / macrophages in diabetic cardiovascular patients: Is immune complex with natural antibodies a vehicle? ( Project - 5360 )(SCTIMST, 2020-07-16) Geetha, M; Appukuttan, PS; Ajitkumar, VKItem Evaluation of intermediate term cardiac and neurodevelopmental outcomes of children undergoing corrective arterial switch operation for complete transposition of great arteries ( Project - 5367 )(SCTIMST, 2019-12-31) Arun, Gopalakrishnan; Sowmya, Ramanan; Soumya, Sundaram; Ajitkumar, VK; Jayakumar, K; Baiju S, DharanItem Native vessel angioplasty as treatment strategy for left internal mammary artery to pulmonary vasculature fistula producing coronary steal phenomenon(INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CARDIOLOGY, 2009) Bijulal, S; Namboodiri, N; Nair, K; Ajitkumar, VKFormation of fistulous connection between internal mammary graft and pulmonary vasculature after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is a rare event, which can result in recurrence of symptoms ranging from stable angina to myocardial infarction related to coronary steal. We hereby report a case of a 56-year-old man who was detected to have such a fistulous communication leading to coronary steal as the cause of effort angina 3 years after CABG. Coronary angioplasty and stenting of left anterior descending artery resulted in resolution of symptoms. Native vessel percutaneous coronary intervention as a treatment strategy for internal mammary artery to pulmonary artery fistula has not been reported previously. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

Although Sinus node dysfunction and tachyarrhythmia - atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, have been commonly reported, complete heart block (CHB) necessitating a pacemaker is rare in EMF. Transvenous pacing is technically limited by fibrotic obliteration of the affected ventricle that results in poor lead parameters, and alternative pacing strategy like epicardial pacing may be required in many. We report three cases of EMF, who were treated with an alternative pacing strategy.
