Coronary revascularization in patients with dextrocardia is not a common clinical condition. There are very few cases of off-pump coronary artery bypass. A 64-year-old woman was admitted to a university hospital due to exertional chest pain. Her primary diagnosis was coronary artery disease superimposed on dextrocardia, which was first suspected on physical examination, with the patient having ...

BACKGROUND Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting compared with coronary revascularization with cardiopulmonary bypass seems safe and results in about the same outcome in low-risk patients. Observational studies indicate that off-pump surgery may provide more benefit in high-risk patients. Our objective was to compare 30-day outcomes in high-risk patients randomized to coronary artery bypass ...

this article describes coronary artery bypass grafting by avlliath jay akrishnan et al. one of the most common reason for coronary artery bypass grafting is narrowing coronary arteries because of atherosclerosis. atherosclerosis causes chest pain (angina pectoris), myocardial infarction and sudden death. the aim of coronary artery bypass grafting is to release pain, prevention of myocardial inf...

OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing on-pump and off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. METHODS A retrospective study with analysis of 230 medical records between January 2011 and October 2013 was conducted. RESULTS Fifty-six (24.3%) out of the 230 patients were female. The average age of patients undergoing on-pump coronary art...

BACKGROUND Coronary artery bypass surgery can be performed without (Off-Pump) or with cardiopulmonary bypass (On-Pump). Extracorporeal circulation and cardioplegic arrest may cause alterations in the plasma metabolome. We assessed metabolomic changes in patients undergoing On-Pump or Off-Pump coronary artery bypass surgery. METHODS We assessed five analyte classes (41 acylcarnitines, 14 amino...

OBJECTIVE The following report describes the experience of the Cardiovascular Surgery Team of the ABC Medical School with coronary-coronary bypass grafting. METHODS Four patients undergone off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting, with coronary-coronary bypass of the right coronary artery, by using great saphenous vein graft. RESULTS The follow-up period was 3 to 5 years without any intra- ...
