Introduction: Heart failure is a major hazard for public health. Despite recent advance in medical therapy, there is not enough information on the outcome of off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) and medical therapy on the patients with severe ventricular dysfunction and triple-vessel (CAD). This study aimed to compare treatment outcomes and mortality rate in patients undergoing off-pump coro...

Coronary aneurysms are typically seen in association with Kawasaki disease and only in rare instances, they are reported to be congenital or idiopathic. Here we report a case of a five year old boy who was found to have an idiopathic right coronary artery aneurysm. He presented with complaints of recurrent respiratory tract infections. His examination and investigations did not reveal any of th...

The main purpose of the off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery is to reduce morbidity and mortality due cardiopulmonary bypass. However, even though many studies have shown that off-pump coronary artery bypass is feasible and provides hospital morbidity and mortality similar to the on-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery, probably better in some aspects, its long-term results have been qu...

Relationship Between Serum CRP Levels and Mortality; one Year After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery

in this theoretical study, the effect of various types of bypass graft angles on the flow field, has been investigated specially on the temporal wall shear stress (wss) on the toe, heel and some locations on the bed of the left anterior descending (lad) artery at the anastomoses areas in the aorto-coronary (ac) and coronary-coronary (cc) bypasses. flow fields in both bypasses with angles of 20º...

abstract background: different modes of mechanical ventilation are used for respiratory support after coronary artery bypass graft (cabg). this study aimed to compare the effect(s) of using adaptive support ventilation (asv) and synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (simv) on the length of mechanical ventilation (intubation duration) and hospital stay after coronary artery bypass graf...
