introduction: as off pump coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (cabg) is a developing method in coronary cardiac surgery, most surgeons are anxious about the danger of emergency crash conversion. in this observational study we tried to show the rate and outcome of conversion . material and methods: in this descriptive study about 477 coronary off-pump cabg patients were operated in ghaem hos...

a 56-year-old man with a two year history of chronic stable angina underwent elective coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg) due to angiographic report of three vessel disease and tight stenosis at proximal part of left anterior descending artery (lad). while harvesting of radial artery (ra), the distal half of radial artery was found to bifurcate to two parallel branches with equal size. we us...

A patient with ulcerated gastric cancer causing mild anaemia and simultaneous three-vessel coronary artery disease (CAD) underwent "off pump" coronary artery bypass grafting (OP-CABG) and total D2 gastrectomy.

certain benefits are clearly associated with the use of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg) as compared with the on-pump cabg. the superiority is more evident in patients with multiple co morbidities including renal failure.we reviewed the medical records of a 67-year-old male with a past medical history that was significant for multiple cardiovascular diseases and new-onset end-sta...

introduction: doppler ultrasonography (dus) is the most preferable method for screening of carotid artery disease in patients undergoing cabg. the purpose of this study was to investigate the frequency of carotid artery disease and determine the relation between known risk factors of atherosclerosis and rate of carotid artery narrowing in order to identify high-risk groups among patients schedu...

Carotid Endarterectomy (CEA) performed in combination with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) have also increased steadily since Bernhard and colleague’s initial report in 1972. Coexistence of symptomatic coronary artery disease and significant carotid artery stenosis ranges from 3.4% to 22%. The incidence of postoperative stroke after CABG ranges from 0.7% to 5%. Coronary revascularization...

Introduction : Significant left main coronary artery stenosis jeopardizes the entire myocardium of the left ventricle and has the worst prognosis of any form of coronary artery disease. Coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been considered as the standard therapeutic approach for such patients. There are limited data on the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous coronary intervention (PC...

In stable patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD), coronary bypass operation (coronary artery bypass grafting [CABG]) has been found to be superior to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using drug-eluting stents (DES) [1–3]. The finding is based on wellpowered randomized studies [4,5] and large-scale registries [6,7]. The superiority of CABG is demonstrated by lower shorta...
