RESUMO
@#We reported a 59-year-old male with exertional angina pectoris, and the coronary angiography showed multiple vessel lesions. The initial strategy was coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The measurement of quantitative flow ration (QFR) before operation indicated that the posterior descending branch (PD) did not need to be treated. The left circumflex branch (LCX) was small, and the QFR of the left anterior descending branch (LAD) and the first diagonal branch (D1) was<0.8. Therefore, the LAD and D1 were re-vascularized. The operation strategy was changed to on-pump CABG through a small incision, and the final strategy was LIMA-D1-LAD (sequential), fractional flow reserve (FFR) of distal LAD and D1 after CABG were>0.8 by computed tomography FFR. SYNTAX scores after CABG were 20 and the functional SYNTAX scores after CABG were 3, indicating a good prognosis.
RESUMO
The ?-radioactive seed brachytherapy source has been widely employed in the implantation therapy for the prostatic carcinoma and the ophthalmic lesions.In this study the dosimetric parameters for characterization of a low-energy interstitial brachytherapy source 125I were calculated according to dose calculation formalism recommended by AAPM TG-43U1.For data processing,a 0.28 cm active length was used for the geometry function.The dosimetry parameter air-Kerma strength,dose rate constant,radial dose function and anisotropy function were estimated by means of the EGS5 Monte Carlo code.The results obtained from this study are in good agreement with the corresponding values recommended by TG-43U1 and with the data reported by Dolan,et al.
