Previous studies have reported a consequence an increased risk mortality while CABG. Identification rates factors is important Methods This retrospective cohort study was done on awaiting elective CABG dr. Kariadi General Hospital...

OBJECTIVE Off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) surgery has become a widely accepted alternative to standard coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass; however, the influence of intraoperative conversion from OPCAB to standard CABG on costs and quality of life is unclear. The objective of this study was to determine whether intraoperative conversion affects cost...

BACKGROUND Coronary revascularization on the beating heart is an attractive to option conventional coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) but remains controversial. Our study encourages sufficient proper time for decision-making when changing CABG from off-pump to on-pump CABG. We report herein patients who changed from off-pump CABG to on-pump CABG. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 240 patie...

CONTEXT Certificate of need regulation was designed to control health care costs by preventing health care facilities from expanding unnecessarily. While there have been several studies investigating whether these regulations have affected health care investment, few have evaluated the relationship between certificate of need regulation and quality of care. OBJECTIVE To compare risk-adjusted ...

CONTEXT Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery are a major source of morbidity and mortality, and increase length of hospital stay and resource utilization. The prehospitalization period before CABG surgery may be used to improve a patient's pulmonary condition. The efficacy of preoperative inspiratory muscle training (IMT) in reducing the...

Surgical treatment for angina pectoris was first proposed in 1899. Decades of experimental surgery for coronary artery disease finally led to the introduction of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in 1964. Now that we are approaching 50 years of CABG experience, it is appropriate to summarize the advancement of CABG into a procedure that is safe and efficient. This review provides a histori...

A recent editorial 1 on coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery in patients 65 years of age and over stated that " the beneficial effect on mortality in older patients with 3-vessel or left main coronary artery disease is not seriously questioned…. " Given the risk of morbidity and mortality associated with CABG surgery in elderly patients and the lack of data on its effectiveness when comp...
