The trends in myocardial revascularization

Myocardial revascularization.

Temporal trends in revascularization and outcomes after acute myocardial infarction among the very elderly.

BACKGROUND Few data are available on time-related changes in use and outcomes of invasive procedures after acute myocardial infarction in very elderly patients. Our objective was to describe trends in revascularization procedures and outcomes in a provincial cohort of very elderly patients who had experienced acute myocardial infarction. METHODS We used a database of hospital discharge summar...

Myocardial laser revascularization.

Some patients with severe angina have coronary artery disease which is unsuitable for conventional forms of revascularization — coronary angioplasty/ stenting or coronary artery bypass surgery. These patients have usually undergone previous revascularization procedures and have disease which is diffuse and affects the distal part of the coronary circulation. Transmyocardial laser revascularizat...

Anesthesia for Myocardial Revascularization

Providing anesthesia care for patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) continues to be a challenging yet rewarding endeavor. Surgical, anesthetic, and technologic advances continue to drive changes in clinical routines at a rapid pace, even at a time when the numbers of cases have declined because of the growth of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs). Cardiac anesthesiol...
