Most variants of anomalous coronary arteries do not cause disability and have a benign course. Surgery is warranted to alleviate symptoms. However, some anomalies, such as a left coronary artery arising from the right sinus of Valsalva and passing between the great vessels or anomalous left coronary artery arising from the pulmonary artery, are considered malignant as they have been associated with sudden cardiac death or heart failure, and in these cases, surgery is indicated. Coronary artery fistulas are abnormal communications between a coronary artery and another cardiovascular structure. They are relatively rare, and surgical or transcatheter closure may be necessary in patients with large left-to-right shunts and/or regional myocardial ischaemia.","PeriodicalId":199690,"journal":{"name":"State of the Art Surgical Coronary Revascularization","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133786253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Porcine models have demonstrated the important role of atherosclerotic/inflammatory changes of the coronary artery and established that hypercontraction of vascular smooth muscle cells plays a central role in the genesis of spasm and is, in part, dependent on activation of Rho-kinase, a molecular switch for vascular smooth muscle cell contraction. Fasudil, which is used for the treatment of cerebral vasospasm in Japan, is metabolized to hydroxyfasudil and functions as a selective Rho-kinase inhibitor. Recent studies demonstrated that inflammatory changes in the adventitia of the coronary artery play an important role for Rho-kinase activation of vascular smooth muscle cells. Prevention and treatment of coronary spasm is important in preventing acute coronary syndromes and sudden cardiac death.","PeriodicalId":199690,"journal":{"name":"State of the Art Surgical Coronary Revascularization","volume":"649 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115831675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The foundational definition of quality in medicine, and certainly in surgery, comes from Avedis Donabedian’s 1966 article utilizing the triad of structure, process, and outcome.
