Clopidogrel use after myocardial revascularization: prevalence, predictors, and one-year survival rate

Abstract Introduction: Antiplatelet therapy after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) has been used. Little is known about the predictors and efficacy of clopidogrel in this scenario. Objective: Identify predictors of clopidogrel following CABG. Methods: We evaluated 5404 patients who underwent CABG b...

Inspiratory muscle training and functional capacity in patients undergoing cardiac surgery

Abstract Introduction: Cardiac surgery is a highly complex procedure which generates worsening of lung function and decreased inspiratory muscle strength. The inspiratory muscle training becomes effective for muscle strengthening and can improve functional capacity. Objective: To investigate the effect...

Bispectral index monitoring in patients undergoing open heart surgery

Abstract Introduction: To obtain the optimal anesthesia depth is not easy in cardiovascular surgery patients where the haemodynamic reserve is limited, due to reasons such as not being able to give the desired dose of anesthetic agent, or the change in the pharmacokinetics of the agent in the heart-lung...

La cirugía de revascularización miocárdica se asocia a una menor incidencia de eventos cardiovasculares que la angioplastía transluminal coronaria con colocación de stents liberadores de everolimus
Coronary artery bypass grafting was associated with lower rate of adverse cardiovascular events than percutaneous coronary intervention with everolimus-eluting stents implantation

Factors associated with mortality in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting

ABSTRACT Objective: to investigate the factors associated with mortality in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting in a cardiovascular referral hospital in Santa Catarina. Method: quantitative, exploratory, descriptive and retrospective study. The medical records of 1447 patients, from 2...

Desfechos clínicos precoces e tardios após tratamento de enxertos de veia safena com stents MGuardTM vs. stents farmacológicos

Introdução: O stent MGuard™, revestido por malha polimérica microscópica, tem a finalidade de reduzir a embolização distal de fragmentos durante a intervenção coronária percutânea (ICP) em enxertos de veia safena (EVS). Avaliamos os desfechos clínicos precoces e tardios de pacientes submetid...

Medium-term glycemic control in diabetics before coronary bypass surgery

Medicina (B.Aires); 75 (5), 2015
The aim of this study was to determine the association between preoperative medium-term (60-90 days) glycemic control, as reflected by glycosylated hemoglobin levels (HbA1c), and the incidence of major complications (mediastinitis, perioperative infarction, heart failure, stroke and kidney failure dialys...

Cirugía coronaria exclusiva con dos mamarias en "Y": resultados a corto plazo

Rev. chil. cardiol; 34 (3), 2015
La cirugía de revascularización mio-cárdica (CRM) exclusiva con arterias mamarias internas en Y (BIMA-Y) podría ofrecer los mejores injertos en términos de durabilidad y menores tasas de eventos adversos en el largo plazo. Objetivo: Analizar los resultados a corto plazo de esta técnica quirúrgica ...

Ecografía Doppler color epicárdica intraoperatoria en la cirugía de revascularización miocárdica

Different devices for intraoperative echocardiographic visualization of coronary arteries and graft anastomoses have been tested in experimental and clinical studies during the last decades, without gaining wide acceptance due to their many technical limitations. We have been involved in the development ...

Tratamento cirúrgico da isquemia cerebral devida a lesão arterial extracraniana
Surgical treatment of cerebral ischemia due to extracranial arterial injury

Introduction: Carotid surgery in daily clinical practice is different from planned clinical trials mainly when indications for surgery are considered. Nevertheless results should be close to those published in the trials. The objective was to study etiology, localization, symptoms and early results of ca...
