OBJECTIVES To compare the efficacy and safety of percutaneous coronary intervention using second-generation drug-eluting stents with those of coronary artery bypass grafting among patients with multivessel disease and/or unprotected left main coronary artery disease in terms of mortality, myocardial infarction, repeat revascularization, and angina. BACKGROUND Although coronary artery disease ...

the aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between body mass index (bmi) and the outcomes of isolated cabg (coronary artery bypass graft) performed in shahid madani hospital of khorramabad, iran. data was retrospectively collected from the medical records retrieved from the hospital records office. all patients who had undergone isolated cabg under cardiopulmonary bypass in the cardi...

non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (niddm) is a common disease entity in patients with coronary artery disease (cad). diabetic ketoacidosis (dka) is not only one of the major complications of diabetes mellitus but also a significant challenging clinical entity for the patients undergoing any elective or emergency surgery. coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg) being done in a patient with ...

Background: The optimal coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) technique is still evolving. This study aimed to evaluate the early results of total arterial off-pump using bilateral internal mammary arteries.
 Methods: was performed from May 2018 2019 at a cardiac surgery center in India. It included 200 patients with disease who had CABG arteries. follow-ups for three months. There were 5...

Diffuse refractory vascular spasms associated with coronary bypass artery grafting (CABG) are rare but devastating. A 42-year-old male patient with a past history of stent insertion was referred for the surgical treatment of a recurrent left main coronary artery disease. A hemodynamic derangement developed during graft harvesting, necessitating a hurried initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass (CP...

OBJECTIVE To compare the early and late outcomes of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting and coronary artery bypass graft + mitral valve repair in elderly patients with moderate chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation. METHODS One hundred and fifty elderly (age > 70 years) patients with moderate chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation who underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (n=...

Coronary artery bypass grafting is the most common cardiac surgery operation performed worldwide. It is the most effective revascularization method for several categories of patients affected by coronary artery disease. Although coronary artery bypass grafting has been performed for more than 40 years, no detailed guidelines on the choice of coronary artery bypass grafting conduits have been pu...

BACKGROUND Whether off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting has a late renal protective advantage over conventional coronary arterial bypass grafting with cardiopulmonary bypass use is controversial. METHODS From 1997 to 2004, 2102 cases of isolated coronary arterial bypass grafting were collected and analyzed, 1116 (53%) in the cardiopulmonary bypass group and 986 (47%) in the off-pump coron...

BACKGROUND Progression of disease and bypass graft attrition results in a population of patients who require repeated coronary interventions. Frequently, these patients have patent internal mammary artery grafts and require isolated intervention to the circumflex distribution. As an alternative to high-risk repeated sternotomy and conventional bypass surgery or catheter-based intervention, the ...

INTRODUCTION Coronary artery bypass grafting is a safe procedure performed worldwide with low rates of mortality and morbidity in general population. OBJECTIVE To investigate risk factors for mortality of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. METHODS A total of 1,628 consecutive patients undergoing on-pump coronary artery bypass graftin...
