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...

Glycated hemoglobin as a predictor of the length of hospital stay in patients following coronary bypass graft surgery in the saudi population

Abstract Objective: The diabetic population has a high prevalence of coronary artery disease, and frequently patients with diabetes undergo coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Elevated glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in diabetics is shown to be associated with morbidity and mortality, but the assoc...

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...

Cirugía coronaria: resultados inmediatos y alejados de la cirugía de revascularización miocárdica en enfermedad coronaria

Rev. méd. Chile; 146 (12), 2018
Background: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the best treatment for a large group of patients with coronary artery disease. Aim: To describe early and late results of patients treated with CABG at our Center. Patients and Methods: Revision of data bases, surgical protocols and clinical registe...

Behavior of ultrasensitive c-reactive protein in myocardial revascularization with and without cardiopulmonary bypass

Abstract Objective: To analyze the inflammation resulting from myocardial revascularization techniques with and without cardiopulmonary bypass, based on ultrasensitive C-reactive protein (US-CRP) behavior. Methods: A prospective non-randomized clinical study with 136 patients was performed. Sixty-nine ...

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 the efficacy of oral versus intravascular magnesium in the prevention of hypomagnesemia and arrhythmia after cabg

Abstract Objective: Cardiac arrhythmias are a common challenge following open-heart surgeries. Hypomagnesemia is believed to be correlated with this condition. Prophylactic intravenous magnesium supplementation has been practiced for a long time in patients undergoing CABG. This study was designed in an...

Combined off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting and lung resection in patients with lung cancer accompanied by coronary artery disease

Abstract Introduction: Optimal surgical approach for the treatment of resectable lung cancer accompanied by coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a contentious issue. In this study, we present our cases that were operated simultaneously for concurrent lung cancer and CAD. Methods: Simultaneous off-pump...

CULPRIT-SHOCK study

SUMMARY The treatment of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction concomitant with the presence of multivessel disease has been studied in several recent studies with the purpose of defining the need, as well as the best moment to approach residual lesions. However, such studies included ...

Características epidemiológicas e preditores de mortalidade em pacientes maiores de 70 anos submetidos à revascularização miocárdica cirúrgica

Fundamento: A doença arterial coronariana é a principal causa de morte no mundo, e a idade é fator de risco independente de mortalidade em pacientes submetidos à revascularização cirúrgica. Objetivo: Avaliar os fatores preditores de risco de óbito em pacientes submetidos à reva...
