Read MoreMeasures to Prevent Neurological Deficits in Urgent CABG Surgery with Bilateral Carotid Occlusion
Patients with previous CVA/TIA in the presence of carotid disease requiring coronary arterial bypass surgery (CABG) are associated with a higher risk of neurological ischemic event.
Read MorePredictors and Outcomes of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: A Systematic and Untargeted Analysis of More Than 120,000 Individuals and 1,300 Disease Traits
Known CVD risk factors associate most strongly with incident CABG. However, CABG is associated with increased risk of several, somewhat unexpected, non-CVD traits. More detailed study of these links is warranted to establish potential causality and pathogenesis.
Read MoreHigh Socioeconomic Deprivation and Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Outcomes: Insights from Michigan
Isolated CABG patients residing in the highest areas of socioeconomic deprivation differed with respect to demographic and clinical characteristics, and experienced worse short and long-term outcomes compared with those not in the top ADI decile.
Read MoreSurgical Risk Factors for Ischemic Stroke Following Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting. A Multi-Factor Multimodel Analysis
Aortic cross-clamping was found to be the primary cause of post-CABG ischemic stroke. Instead, additional aortic manipulation from a side-biting clamp, on-pump surgery, multiple aortic touches, number of proximal anastomoses, and aortic cannulation were found not to increase the estimate of stroke significantly. Further research on this topic is warranted.
Read MoreNew Markers of Platelet Activation and Reactivity and Oxidative Stress Parameters in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
When combined, MPV, RDW, and platelet count, such as MPR and RPR, could be good predictors of coronary artery disease status, regarding the aspect of joint inflammation, oxidative stress, and thrombosis.
Read MoreMyocardial Revascularization Surgery
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was introduced in the 1960s as the first procedure for direct coronary artery revascularization and rapidly became one of the most common surgical procedures worldwide, with an overall total of more than 20 million operations performed.
Read MoreThe Use of Artificial Neural Networks to Determine In-Hospital Mortality After Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
The ANN model tended to outperform multiple linear regression models in predicting in-hospital mortality among patients who have undergone coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Physicians can make use of this information as an aid in performing treatments and ensuring that more accurate quality of surgical care is achieved.
Read MoreNovel Autologous, High Concentrated Fibrin as Advanced Hemostatic Agent for Coronary Surgery
Autologous bio-regenerative fibrin can be safely prepared, with no time consuming, and was demonstrated to be a useful tool to decrease allogeneic blood transfusion requirements following elective coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. A prospective randomized trial is needed to confirm these findings.
Read MoreThe Effect of Using the Minimized Cardio-Pulmonary Bypass Systems for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Diabetic Patients
The use of conventional cardiopulmonary bypass for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in diabetic patients was associated with higher use of postoperative vasogenic and inotropic support. However, that did not translate into higher complications rate or mortality.
Read MoreInfectious Complications in Patients Receiving Ticagrelor or Clopidogrel Before Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Our findings do not support a clinically relevant bactericidal effect of ticagrelor in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.
Read MoreAssociation of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting vs Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Memory Decline in Older Adults Undergoing Coronary Revascularization
Among older adults undergoing coronary revascularization with CABG or PCI, the type of revascularization procedure was not significantly associated with differences in the change of rate of memory decline.
Read MoreDoes Postoperative Cognitive Decline after Coronary Bypass Affect Quality of Life?
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction and decreased QoL are common 6 months after surgery, although cognitive function and QoL were found to have improved in many patients at 6 months of follow-up. Impaired cognitive function is not associated with impaired QoL at 6 months.
Read MorePreoperative Intra-Aortic Balloon Pumps in Cardiac Surgery: A Propensity Score Analysis
In patients undergoing isolated CABG surgery, preoperative IABP use was associated with increased 30-day mortality and adverse outcomes. Large randomised controlled trials are required to confirm our findings.
Read MoreUrgent Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery Supported by Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Report of Two Cases
Our report indicates that VA-ECMO can be used instead of the cardiopulmonary bypass machine (CPB) to support the circulation during CABG surgery in patients with complex coronary anatomy and unstable haemodynamics. Future studies focusing on the long-term outcomes of such patients will probably help to establish the optimal management of this type of patients.
Read MoreChanges in Intraocular Pressure During Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery: An Observational Study
During cardiac surgery regardless of the technique (on-pump CABG, off-pump CABG), intraocular pressures remain in the normal ranges. It should be kept in mind that patients should be avoided from long and extreme Trendelenburg position, low CVP, and MAP levels during cardiac surgery to prevent eye-related complications.
Read MorePlatelet Reactivity in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes Awaiting Surgical Revascularization
A strategy based on platelet reactivity-guided is noninferior to the standard of care in patients with ACS awaiting CABG regarding peri-operative bleeding, significantly shortens the waiting time to CABG, and decreases hospital expenses. (Evaluation of Platelet Aggregability in the Release of CABG in Patients With ACS With DAPT; NCT02516267)
Read MoreCan Peroperative Neutrophil To Lymphocyte Ratio Change (Deltanlr) Be Used as a Parameter in Predicting Acute Renal Failure Following Coronary Bypass Operations With Cardiopulmonary Bypass?
In this study, we have shown that peroperative NLR changes can be used as an effective parameter to predict ARF developing following CABG operations.
Read MoreAnalysis of Risk Factors for In-Hospital Mortality In 177 Patients Who Underwent Isolated Coronary Bypass Grafting and Received Intra Aortic Balloon Pump
Our analysis showed that increased preoperative plasma creatinine, postoperative renal dysfunction, and CPB time negatively affected the outcomes of patients who received intraoperative IABP insertion.
Read MoreIncidence and Impact of Silent Brain Lesions After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain frequently detected postoperative silent brain lesions after CABG in off-pump and aorta non-touch groups. Multiple and larger new brain lesions were associated with the development of POCD.
Read MoreCoronary Artery Bypass Surgery without Blood Transfusion; Is It Possible?
Triple combination technique is safe and cost-effective in coronary artery bypass surgery. We think that most of the patients could be operated without blood transfusion with this technique.
Read MoreLow Tidal Volume Mechanical Ventilation Against No Ventilation During Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Heart Surgery (MECANO): A Randomized Controlled Trial
Among patients undergoing cardiac surgery with CPB, continuation of low tidal volume ventilation was not superior to no ventilation during CPB with respect to postoperative complications, including death, early respiratory failure, ventilation support beyond day 2, and reintubation.
Read MorePerioperative Outcomes of Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery in Johannesburg, South Africa
In our study, the crude perioperative mortality rate was 11.2%. Our mortality rate was significantly higher than the mortality rates reported in other developed and developing countries. To better understand the factors driving this high mortality rate, a prospective outcomes registry has been initiated, and this promises to inform on our contemporary mortality and morbidity outcomes.
