Myocardial revascularization at extreems - Vojvodina STEMI network

Background In order to improve health care of patients with acute myocardial infarction, forming of a proper cardiological network in different parts of a particular region becomes a necessity. At our institute, we started to treat STEMI in cathlabs in April 2002. In the beginning this care has been utilized during the day, and after the 1. 12. 2008, we started with 24-hours practice, so at thi...

Myocardial revascularization at extremes – surgical revascularization in acute coronary syndrome

Methods At our Institute, 122 patients with ACS were surgically revascularized using extracorporeal circulation in the first 10 days after the coronarography by one surgical team in the 5 years period. Patients were stratified into two groups: 65 patients operated within 4 days (group 1), and 57 patients operated from 5-Th to 10-Th day after the clopidogrel discontinuation (group 2). Patients w...

Myocardial revascularization.

Myocardial laser revascularization.

Some patients with severe angina have coronary artery disease which is unsuitable for conventional forms of revascularization — coronary angioplasty/ stenting or coronary artery bypass surgery. These patients have usually undergone previous revascularization procedures and have disease which is diffuse and affects the distal part of the coronary circulation. Transmyocardial laser revascularizat...

Anesthesia for Myocardial Revascularization

Providing anesthesia care for patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) continues to be a challenging yet rewarding endeavor. Surgical, anesthetic, and technologic advances continue to drive changes in clinical routines at a rapid pace, even at a time when the numbers of cases have declined because of the growth of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs). Cardiac anesthesiol...
