Now that coronary artery bypass grafting has entered its fourth decade, cardiac surgeons unanimously agree that arterial grafts yield a more satisfactory long-term clinical outcome than do autologous saphenous vein grafts. With time, venous grafts are vulnerable to accelerated atherosclerosis, which may necessitate high-risk repeat coronary bypass surgery. In contrast, arterial grafts are highl...

Objective: To find out the effect of Dexmedetomidine infusion on renal function in patients undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery.
 Study Design: Randomized control trial (RCT- NCT05375188).
 Place and Duration Study: The research was conducted Department Anesthesia, National Institute Cardiovascular Diseases Karachi Pakistan, from Jun to Sep 2021.
 Methodology: ...

Background—The Bypass Angioplasty Revascularization Investigation 2 Diabetes (BARI 2D) trial assigned patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus to prompt coronary revascularization plus intensive medical therapy versus intensive medical therapy alone and reported no significant difference in mortality. Among patients selected for coronary artery bypass graft surgery, prompt coronary revascularizat...

BACKGROUND Minimally invasive bypass grafting surgery has entered the clincal routine in several centers around the world, with an increasing popularity in the last decade. In our study, we aimed to make a comparison between minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting surgery and conventional bypass grafting surgery in isolated proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD) lesions. ME...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: coronary artery bypass graft is one of common cardiac surgeries which unfortunately accompany with some adverse events such as delirium. proinflammatory processes play an important role in pathogenesis of post-operative delirium. therefore, the effect of dexamethasone (dex) on post-operative delirium after cardiac surgery was evaluated. ...

We studied the haemodynamic effects of inhaled nitric oxide 40 p.p.m. in two groups of patients after cardiac surgery (mitral valve surgery or coronary artery bypass grafting). Nitric oxide caused a significant reduction in pulmonary vascular resistance after mitral valve surgery in patients who had pre-existing pulmonary hypertension, but no change in haemodynamic state in the coronary artery ...

In this study the effects of coronary artery bypass surgery on ventricular function were evaluated at rest by quantitative analysis of segmental wall motion on cineventriculography, and during maximal treadmill exercise by measurement of serial cardiac outputs (Fick method) with the use of indwelling pulmonary artery and radial artery catheters. The patient had single vessel coronary disease an...

BACKGROUND Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is well established for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, yet little is known about candidates for coronary artery bypass graft surgery. METHODS AND RESULTS From 2006 to 2010, we retrospectively included in this registry 627 consecutive patients treated by coronary artery bypass graft surgery having at least 1 angiographically int...

OBJECTIVE The joint European Society of Cardiology and American College of Cardiology consensus statement on myocardial necrosis after revascularization stated that any amount of myocardial necrosis as detected by cardiac enzymes should be labeled a myocardial infarct. However, it also stated that more data collection is necessary to better interpret the elevation of cardiac enzymes after coron...
