High-risk Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting and Mitral Valve Replacement in a HIV Positive Patient
Certain subsets of high-risk mitral valve patients are not suitable candidates for transcatheter therapies. The objective of this report is to present a young patient with combined mitral valve and coronary artery disease to illustrate these challenges.In this report, we present a 47-year-old man with longstanding HIV infection who was referred with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) and profound...
متن کاملHypoalbuminemia as a Predictor for Complications Following Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Background and purpose: There is little information about the prognostic role of preoperative serum albumin levels in postoperative outcomes following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The aim of this study was to evaluate preoperative hypoalbuminemia as a predictor for complications after CABG. Materials and methods: This prospective observational study was conducted in 200 patients und...
متن کاملPrevious percutaneous coronary intervention as risk factor for coronary artery bypass grafting.
BACKGROUND Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has increased as the initial revascularization strategy in chronic coronary artery disease. Consequently, more patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) have history of coronary stent. OBJECTIVE Evaluate the impact of previous PCI on in-hospital mortality after CABG in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease. MET...
متن کاملCoronary Artery Bypass Grafting
This is one of two coronary revascularisation techniques currently used in the treatment of coronary artery disease, the other being percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The patient will already have had a clinical diagnosis of coronary heart disease (CHD), confirmed by coronary angiography to delineate the obstruction. If PCI is feasible, it may be performed at the time of coronary angiog...
متن کاملCoronary-Artery Bypass Grafting.
To the Editor: In their article on coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG), Alexander and Smith (May 19 issue)1 state that “the usefulness of FFR [fractional flow reserve] in selecting patients with multivessel coronary artery disease for CABG or in identifying bypass graft targets in patients undergoing CABG has not been studied.” However, a prospective study by Botman et al.2 showed a relation...
