Embolectomy without bypass

A comparison of laboratory findings in coronary artery bypass surgery with and without cardiopulmonary bypass

Background : Quests for doing coronary artery bypass surgery by a technique with lower complications is going on, for this aim many studies compared patients undergoing CABG with or without cardiopulmonary bypass. This study was carried out to compare laboratory findings after coronary artery bypass in these two groups of patients. Materials and Methods: In a retrospective study, 167 patients ...

Coronary surgery without cardiopulmonary bypass.

Use of a Modified Cardiopulmonary Bypass Circuit for Suction Embolectomy with the AngioVac Device.

The AngioVac suction cannula and circuit were designed for the percutaneous removal of soft thrombus and emboli in procedures requiring extracorporeal circulatory support. We describe a modification of the AngioVac suction catheter and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuit to effectively remove thrombus while maintaining the ability to rapidly initiate full CPBs during a medical crisis. This art...

Atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass grafting without cardiopulmonary bypass.

OBJECTIVE Atrial fibrillation is the most common complication after heart surgery. It rarely has a fatal outcome but causes patient instability, prolongs hospital stay, or even is the reason for perioperative infarction. Although conventional coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with cardiopulmonary bypass has excellent short-term and long-term results, the number of coronary operations on a ...

Coronary bypass grafting without use of cardiopulmonary bypass for dextrocardia.

Dextrocardia is a condition in which the heart is pointed toward the right side of the chest instead of normally pointing to the left. The rate of atherosclerotic heart disease in subjects with this condition is similar to that of the general population. We present a patient with situs inversus totalis with dextrocardia who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting without use of cardiopulmonar...
