the present study was undertaken to compare the in hospital results of coronary artery bypass graft (cabg) with (on pump) or without (off pump) cardiopulmonary bypass (cpb). data were collected on all first-time isolated cabgs with saphenous vein and/or artery grafts at shahid madani hospital in tabriz-iran, between 2006 and 2009. age and clinical profile were marched between on pump and off pu...

INTRODUCTION- Cardiovascular disease has emerged as a major health burden worldwide with coronary artery disease [CAD] causing highest mortality and morbidity. Coronary revascularization is the preferred treatment for patients with multivessel CAD. Based on the application of cardiopulmonary bypass [CPB], Coronary revascularization can be on-pump [OPCAB] or off-pump [CABG].The CPB is known to h...

Introduction: Coronary artery bypass grafting is a surgical operation that bypasses atherosclerotic coronary vessels and restores blood flow to the ischemic zone of hearts. And two different conventional methods are ON-pump CABG, and Off-pump CABG.  Altogether, the efficacy and safety of these two types of surgical procedures are still under debate. In this study, we aim to com...

Introduction: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common type of heart disease, with a mortality rate of 385,000 person per year in the United States. There are two main methods for CAD treatments: angioplasty and bypass surgery. Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) is one of the greatest surgical operations of the 20th century and it is presented as most effective and long-term therapi...

BACKGROUND Redo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is still associated with increased morbidity and mortality as compared to the first-time operation. Further, the application of the off-pump technique to redo CABG is limited due to technical difficulties. The aim of this retrospective study was to analyze early and midterm results after redo CABG and compare the outcome of redo on-pump and...

BACKGROUND Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a well-established procedure for treating diabetic patients with multivessel disease, but extracorporeal circulation and cardioplegia-induced cardiac arrest introduce a severe burden to these patients. The present study investigated if off-pump CABG decreases 30-day mortality and mid-term mortality in diabetic patients in comparison with conv...

We compared stroke rates associated with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), both on-pump and off-pump, and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with both drug-eluting stent (DES) and bare-metal stent (BMS) and the impact on 30-day and 1-year all-cause mortality. The Myocardial Infarction Data Acquisition System database was used to study patients who had on-pump CABG (n = 47,254), off-...
