Surgical aspects of no-touch saphenous vein graft harvesting in cabg: clinical and angiographic follow-up at 3 months

Abstract With more than 800,000 coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) operations annually worldwide and the saphenous vein being the most common conduit used, there is no question that improving saphenous vein graft patency is one of the most important tasks in CABG. This video describes the no-touch ha...

Current practice of state-of-the-art coronary revascularization in patients with heart failure

Abstract The best treatment for patients with ischemic heart failure (HF) is still on debate. There is growing evidence that coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) benefits these patients. The current recommendations for revascularization in this context are that CABG is reasonable when it comes to decreasi...

Coronary artery dissection in a patient with Buerger's Disease

Abstract Buerger's disease, vasculitis of small and medium-sized blood vessels, is a non-atherosclerotic and progressive occlusive condition which frequently involves the distal part of the limbs. The occlusion of coronary arteries in Buerger's disease is a rare condition; however, coronary artery dissec...

Vitamin D deficiency is not associated with higher levels of syntax score

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the association between serum vitamin D (vitD) level and SYNTAX (synergy between percutaneous coronary intervention with taxus and cardiac surgery) score (SS). Methods: The medical records of consecutive patients, who underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery, were ...

Vasodilatory efficacy and impact of papaverine on endothelium in radial artery predilatation for cabg surgery: in search for optimal concentration

Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of two different papaverine concentrations (0.5 mg/ml and 2 mg/ml) for vasospasm prevention and their impact on endothelium integrity. Methods: We have studied distal segments of radial arteries obtained by no-touch technique from co...

Comparison of del nido cardioplegia with blood cardioplegia in coronary artery bypass grafting combined with mitral valve replacement

Abstract Objective: To compare del Nido cardioplegia (DNC) with blood cardioplegia (BC) in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) combined with mitral valve replacement. Methods: A 3-year single-center retrospective cohort study was carried out. Subjects who underwent CABG (up to triple bypass) combine...

Rev. bras. enferm; 71 (5), 2018
ABSTRACT Objective: to understand how repercussions of the referral and counter-referral of patients with indication/submitted to Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery in the context of Primary Health Care. Method: qualitative research with a theoretical-methodological contribution anchored in the Groun...

Myocardial revascularization: factors intervening in the reference and counter-reference in the hospital setting

Rev. bras. enferm; 71 (4), 2018
ABSTRACT Objective: To understand the intervening factors in the process of reference and counter-reference of the individual with heart disease in the scenario of high complexity in the health care network. Method: Research anchored in the Grounded Theory (Teoria Fundamentada nos Dados). It totaled 21...

Extended-time of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation improves tissue perfusion after coronary artery bypass surgery: a randomized clinical trial

Abstract Objective: To compare the effects of extended- versus short-time noninvasive positive pressure ventilation on pulmonary function, tissue perfusion, and clinical outcomes in the early postoperative period following coronary artery bypass surgery in patients with preserved left ventricular functi...

Application of circular patch plasty (dor procedure) or linear repair techniques in the treatment of left ventricular aneurysms

Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate early clinical outcomes and echocardiographic measurements of the left ventricle in patients who underwent left ventricular aneurysm repair using two different techniques associated to myocardial revascularization. Methods: Eighty-nine patients ...
