Journal Article
Can opium abuse be a risk factor for carotid stenosis in patients who are candidates for coronary artery bypass grafting
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that opium is not cardioprotective, and does not even decelerate atherosclerosis of carotid arteries in opium-addicted patients, but more evidence is still needed to completely prove the case.
Journal ArticleDOI

Shapour Shirani,Mohammad Ali Boroumand,Seyed Hesameddin Abbasi,Negar Maghsoodi,Madjid Shakiba,Abbasali Karimi,Saeed Davoodi,Maryam Esfandbod +7 more
TL;DR: Significant carotid stenosis has an earlier appearance and its related risk factors in candidates for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery are recommended for revising the previous screening protocols.
Journal Article

Maryam Sotoudeh Anvari,Abbas Soleimani,Ali Abbasi,Mohammad Ali Boroumand,Mehrab Marzban,Abbasali Karimi,Parin Yazdanifard,Shapour Shirani,Mohammad Sahebjam +8 more
TL;DR: A case of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor that involved the right ventricle, thereby causing tricuspid valve regurgitation in an 18-year-old man who presented with a fever of unknown origin and of 1 month's duration is described.
Journal Article
Correlation between endothelial dysfunction in normal coronary patients with slow flow and aortic ectasia: the first report.
TL;DR: It seems that there is no correlation between SCFP and aortic ectasia, and endothelial dysfunction based on cuff test and sublingual nitrate administration was significantly more common in men than women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Semi-automatic 3D segmentation of carotid lumen in contrast-enhanced computed tomography angiography images
TL;DR: A novel method is presented for carotid artery lumen segmentation in CTA data that requires minimal user intervention, low dependence to gray levels changes in artery path, resistance to extreme changes inCarotid diameter and carotids branch locations, and has high accuracy and can be used in qualitative and quantitative evaluation.
