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

Emergency Conversion from Off Pump to Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Patients with Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery

Introduction: As off pump Coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG) is a developing method in coronary cardiac surgery, most surgeons are anxious about the danger of emergency crash conversion. In this observational study we tried to show the rate and outcome of conversion . Material and methods: In this descriptive study about 477 coronary off-pump CABG patients were operated in Ghaem hos...

Comparison of neutrophil:lymphocyte ratios following coronary artery bypass surgery with or without cardiopulmonary bypass

OBJECTIVE Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery may induce postoperative systemic changes in leukocyte counts, including leukocytosis, neutrophilia or lymphopenia. This retrospective clinical study investigated whether off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) surgery working on the beating heart without extracorporeal circulation could favourably affect leukocyte counts, including neutroph...

Coronary surgery without cardiopulmonary bypass.

Coronary artery bypass grafting with and without cardiopulmonary bypass: a comparison analysis.

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using stabilization devices in place of the heart-lung machine is being performed on a wide range of patients. This study retrospectively compared the performance of off-pump coronary artery grafting bypass (OPCAB) with conventional bypass patients over the same 6-month period at The Medical University of South Carolina. Data were collected and compared fr...

Hydrogen ion concentration and coronary artery bypass graft surgery with and without cardiopulmonary bypass

BACKGROUND Acidosis during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has been related to the strong ion difference (SID) and the composition of intravascular fluids that are administered. Less intravascular fluids tend to be administered during off- than on-pump CABG and should influence the degree of acidosis that develops. This study aimed to explore the role of CPB in the development of acidosis by compa...

Stroke after coronary artery bypass surgery with and without cardiopulmonary bypass.

BACKGROUND Stroke is a devastating complication of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). This study was carried out with the aim that the development of off pump coronary artery surgery decreases the incidence/adverse outcome due to extra corporeal circulation. METHODS The data utilized in this study was extracted from a randomized controlled trial that was conducted from January 2006 to Ma...
