BACKGROUND Stroke is a devastating complication of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). This study was carried out with the aim that the development of off pump coronary artery surgery decreases the incidence/adverse outcome due to extra corporeal circulation. METHODS The data utilized in this study was extracted from a randomized controlled trial that was conducted from January 2006 to Ma...

Methods Of 2083 patients who underwent isolated off-pump CABG between 1999 and 2012, 91 patients who underwent offpump CABG concomitant with non-cardiovascular surgery (group 1) were compared with 1991 patients who underwent isolated off-pump CABG (group 2). In group 1, there were 49 malignancies and 42 benigns. Non-cardiovascular surgery included 34 thoracic surgeries (11 bullectomy, 11 pulmon...

Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common postoperative complication of cardiac surgery, which is associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. This study investigated the frequency of postoperative AKI in low risk adult patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).Materials & Methods: All consecutive adult patients of American Society of Anesthe...

Background: Cardiac vagal modulation is reduced in patients with coronary artery disease or previous myocardial infarction. The propensity to lethal arrhythmias and oxygen consumption is thus increased. The objective of the present study was to assess the effect of different techniques used in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), namely on-pump versus off-pump, on the level of vagal modulati...

BACKGROUND Coronary artery bypass grafting techniques without using cardiopulmonary bypass (off-pump CABG) result in less systemic damage, less clinical complications, less time spent in the intensive care unit, and shorter hospital stays, thereby raising the perspective of improved quality of life (QOL) for patients. OBJECTIVE To assess quality of life in patients who underwent on-pump and o...

Objective: Off-pump CABG (OPCAB) is a well established surgical procedure in Bangladesh now. Majority of Bangladeshi patients having CABG are undergoing OPCAB procedures these days. Patients with left ventricular dysfunction are known to be particularly at risk of complications after surgical coronary revascularization. Off-pump procedure can be considered in these patients, avoiding the potent...

CABG being one of the most common types cardiac surgery, lowers risk Myocardial Infarctions and patients can remain symptom free for as long 10-15 years. Though this surgery became more common, there are 2 methods performing CABG, they On-pump Off-pump techniques. Recent studies reveals several advantages technique than technique. So intention study was to analyze if is anyphysiological signifi...

Afilalo and colleagues have presented an updated meta-analysis and meta-regression of randomized trials of off-pump vs. on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. Their two major findings are that while there was a reduction in mortality, myocardial infarction, and stroke in the off-pump group, this only reached significance for the latter, and that the effect of off-pump CABG was ...

OBJECTIVE It is well known that the presence of carotid artery stenosis increases the risk of perioperative stroke in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Although off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) can avoid the adverse effects of cardiopulmonary bypass, the influence of carotid artery stenosis on the incidence of stroke in patients undergoing off-pump ...
