Relevance. Coronary artery transplantation operations are an effective method for the treatment of developmental anomalies and pathologies coronary arteries, which lead to a cascade negative consequences. Pathologically altered arteries cannot fully function normally this condition leads myocardial ischemia. Ischemic heart disease (CHD) is chronic inflammatory that quickly functional disorders ...

The increase in life expectancy has confronted cardiac surgery with a rapidly growing population of elderly patients requiring surgical myocardial revascularization. Recent advances in surgical and anesthetic techniques and improvements in postoperative care have made coronary artery bypass grafting an established therapeutic option for the treatment of coronary artery disease in this group of ...

Introduction: Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting (MIDCAB) offers arterial revascularization of the left anterior descending coronary artery especially in lesions unsuitable for percutaneous coronary interventions. By avoidance of sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass its invasivity is less than that of conventional bypass surgery. Methods: A literature search of all publi...

H eart attack (acute myocardial infarction or sudden cardiac death related to disease of the large arteries supplying the heart) and ischemic stroke (focal neurological deficit secondary to cerebrovascular disease of the large and small arteries supplying the brain or emboli from the heart or aorta) are among the foremost serious health problems in the Western hemisphere. Because coronary arter...

A 64-year-old man had a low-lying tracheostoma and presented with unstable angina and a mass in the pulmonary left upper lobe. Simultaneous coronary revascularization and resection of the lung neoplasm were completed through a sternothoracotomy (clam-shell) incision. The advantages of this approach include excellent exposure to the mediastinum and the lung fields, and the option of using both i...

Two cases of coronary artery disease coexisting with abdominal aortic aneurysm were treated with off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting combined with repair of the aneurysm. The first patient was a 67-year-old man exhibiting a large pulsating abdominal mass. Abdominal computed tomography demonstrated a 9-cm aneurysm and coronary angiogram revealed a 90% stenosis of the obtuse marginal branch ...

Coronary heart disease leads to myocardial infarction and is a major cause of death in the United States. Myocardial infarctions result from atherosclerotic plaque deposits inthecoronary atiefies, ‘educing blood flow through these arteries which supply oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle. The two major approaches for restoring adequate blood flow are “coronary bypass graft surgery” md “cor...

C oronary revascularization provides symptomatic relief and improves long-term outcomes in patients with multi-vessel coronary artery disease (CAD).1 The ideal revascularization strategy remains controversial and depends on the anatomic complexity of the lesions that require revascularization, the comorbidities, and the ability to use dual antiplatelet therapy.1 Though coronary artery bypass gr...
