ABSTRACT

Coronary artery interventions and surgical procedures are used in the treatment of coronary artery disease and some congenital heart diseases. Cardiac and noncardiac complications can occur at variable times after these procedures, with the clinical presentation ranging from asymptomatic to devastating symptoms. Invasive coronary angiography is the reference standard modality used in the evaluation of coronary arteries, with intravascular US and optical coherence tomography providing high-resolution information regarding the vessel wall. CT is the mostly commonly used noninvasive imaging modality in the evaluation of coronary artery intervention complications and allows assessment of the stent, lumen of the stent, lumen of the coronary arteries, and extracoronary structures. MRI is limited to the evaluation of the proximal coronary arteries but allows comprehensive evaluation of the myocardium, including ischemia and infarction. The authors review the clinical symptoms and pathophysiologic and imaging features of various complications of coronary artery interventions and surgical procedures. Complications of percutaneous coronary interventions are discussed, including restenosis, thrombosis, dissection of coronary arteries or the aorta, coronary wall rupture or perforation, stent deployment failure, stent fracture, stent infection, stent migration or embolism, and reperfusion injury. Complications of several surgical procedures are reviewed, including coronary artery bypass grafting, coronary artery reimplantation procedure (for anomalous origin from opposite sinuses or the pulmonary artery or as part of surgical procedures such as arterial switching surgery and the Bentall and Cabrol procedures), coronary artery unroofing, and the Takeuchi procedure.

ABSTRACT

In this work, a mono- and a bi-enzymatic analytical immobilized enzyme reactors (IMERs) were developed as prototypes for biosynthetic purposes and their performances in the in-flow synthesis of nucleoside analogues of pharmaceutical interest were evaluated. Two biocatalytic routes based on nucleoside 2'-deoxyribosyltransferase from Lactobacillus reuteri (LrNDT) and uridine phosphorylase from Clostridium perfrigens (CpUP)/purine nucleoside phosphorylase from Aeromonas hydrophila (AhPNP) were investigated in the synthesis of 2'-deoxy, 2',3'-dideoxy and arabinonucleoside derivatives. LrNDT-IMER catalyzed the synthesis of 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine and 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine in 65-59% conversion yield, while CpUP/AhPNP-IMER provided the best results for the preparation of arabinosyladenine (60% conversion yield). Both IMERs proved to be promising alternatives to chemical routes for the synthesis of nucleoside analogues. The developed in-flow system represents a powerful tool for the fast production on analytical scale of nucleosides for preliminary biological tests.
