Use of Carbon dioxide versus air blower in on-pump beating-heart coronary artery bypass surgery

Introduction:  The use of carbon dioxide blower has been recognized as the standard of care in patients undergoing beating coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) due to higher solubility and lower risk of embolization. On the other hand, the compressed air blower has gone out of use since air can be easily trapped and is less soluble which can cause coronary embolism. The prese...

مقایسه‌ی نتایج استفاده از شانت داخل عروق کرونر در عمل بای‌پس عروق کرونر بدون پمپ نسبت به عدم استفاده از آن

Background and Objective: Off pump coronary artery bypass graft can be done with or without using intracoronary shunt. We have compared these two methods in early postoperative period, in this study. Materials and Methods: 208 candidate patients for off pump coronary artery bypass graft were devided in to two groups randomly for using intracoronary shunt or not. Variables including peri and pos...

On-Pump Beating Coronary Artery Bypass in High Risk Coronary Patients

Background: There are some conflicting results with Conventional Coronary Artery Bypass Grafts (CCABG) with arrested heart in coronary high-risk patients. Moreover, performing off-pump CABG in these cases may be associated with serious complications. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the on-pump beating CABG (OPBCABG) in coronary high-risk patients in comparison with th...

Serum lactate as a prognostic factor in coronary artery bypass graft operation by on pump method

Background: Lactic acidosis in cardiac surgical patients is a manifestation of systemic inflammation and excess pro-inflammatory cytokine production. This investigation was designed to integrate basic concepts about lactate acidosis with a clinically used of serum lactate in patients under coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) by on pump method. Methods: From August to September 2012, 15 patie...
