PURPOSE The goal of this study was to evaluate perioperative and mid-term results of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). METHODS Thirty-five consecutive dialysis patients who required CABG over a 5-year period were investigated retrospectively. RESULTS Mean patient age was 62.5+/-11.5 years. The mean number of diseased vessels was 2.3W0.8....

OBJECTIVES The number of patients referred for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has fallen, whereas their risk profile appears to be increasing. We evaluated changes in the predictors of hospital mortality among patients undergoing CABG during a span of 18 years. METHODS Data were collected prospectively for all patients undergoing isolated CABG (n=23,445) from 1991 to 2008. To examine ...

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is advantageous for long-term clinical outcomes compared to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in hemodialysis (HD) patients, as PCI has a lower short-term mortality but higher late revascularization risk. Therefore, CABG very important HD patients current practice. In the presence of an arteriovenous fistula may flow capacity ipsilateral internal th...

OBJECTIVES Clinical characteristics and trends in the outcome of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in patients with prior coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) are unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical characteristics, in-hospital treatment, and outcomes in patients presented with ACS with or without a history of prior CABG over 2 decades. METHODS Data were derived from ho...

Depression after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is common (up to 40%) and increases risk of cardiac morbidity and mortality in the first year by more than two fold. However, current scarcity of data on etiopathogenesis of post-CABG depression hampers development of prevention or treatment strategies of post-CABG depression. “Vascular Depression” hypothesis posits that cerebrovascul...

Background: Chronic kidney disease combined with coronary artery is a growing public health issue. Preoperative renal dysfunction one of the major risk factors for perioperative morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing bypass grafting (CABG). This study aimed to analyze early clinical outcomes CABG preoperative impairment.
 Methods: The was conducted from July 2017 2019. We included ...

PURPOSE There is growing evidence that the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis plays a role in the progression of cardiovascular disease. We examined the relationship between diurnal cortisol rhythm and adverse events in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. We hypothesized that a flatter presurgical diurnal cortisol slope would be associated with higher rates of adve...

Objectives. The widespread use of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has resulted in an increasing number of patients who have undergone prior PCI being referred for coronary artery bypass graft grafting (CABG). The aim of this study was to determine the association between previous PCI and early and midterm outcomes after CABG. Methods. A total of 54 patients undergoing elective CABG (gr...

BACKGROUND Numerous studies have compared the outcomes of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery and coronary stenting for the treatment of multivessel coronary disease. In 2003, drug-eluting stents were introduced with the hope of reducing restenosis. However, limited information exists on the comparison of drug-eluting stents and CABG surgery. The long-term outcome of drug-eluting ste...

BACKGROUND Outcomes and resource utilization of patients undergoing mitral valve replacement (MVR) with or without concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) were reviewed. METHODS Data for 1,844 patients undergoing isolated primary MVR at Emory University Hospitals between 1980 and 1997 were recorded prospectively in a computerized database. RESULTS The four groups included patient...
