non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (niddm) is a common disease entity in patients with coronary artery disease (cad). diabetic ketoacidosis (dka) is not only one of the major complications of diabetes mellitus but also a significant challenging clinical entity for the patients undergoing any elective or emergency surgery. coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg) being done in a patient with ...

The era of randomised studies of coronary artery bypass surgery''-7 has probably come to an end. It is, therefore, opportune to assess the present state of this form of surgery in the light of the information available from these trials. There is general agreement that coronary artery bypass surgery is effective in relieving angina pectoris, but controversy persists as to whether it can improve...

OBJECTIVE To compare the clinical, angiographic, neurocognitive, and quality of life outcomes of off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery with conventional coronary artery bypass grafting surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass. DESIGN Randomised controlled clinical trial. SETTING Tertiary cardiothoracic centre in Middlesex, England. PARTICIPANTS 168 patients (27 women) requiring primary isol...

background: systolic blood pressure recovery (rsbp) is of prognostic value for predicting the survival and co-morbidity rate in patients with coronary artery disease (cad). this study investigated the association between rsbp and exercise indices after complete cardiac rehabilitation program (cr) in a population-based sample of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg). methods...

background and purpose: heart disease death rates have increased worldwide.family-oriented empowerment model improves the quality of life in the patients with chronic diseases. this study aims to determine the effect of family-oriented empowerment model on the life quality of the patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft. methods: a quasi-experimental study was performed on the patients ...

Objectives: The objectives of this post hoc analysis was to describe the characteristics of cardiopulmonary indicators among patients with normal ventilator weaning response and dysfunctional ventilator weaning response after coronary artery bypass graft surgery, and to find the differences in characteristics of cardiopulmonary indicators between patients with normal ventilator weaning response...

the present study was undertaken to compare the in hospital results of coronary artery bypass graft (cabg) with (on pump) or without (off pump) cardiopulmonary bypass (cpb). data were collected on all first-time isolated cabgs with saphenous vein and/or artery grafts at shahid madani hospital in tabriz-iran, between 2006 and 2009. age and clinical profile were marched between on pump and off pu...

In coronary artery surgery the superiority of the internal mammary artery graft in 10-year survival was documented in 1986. In 1999 it was demonstrated that death, reoperation and percutaneous transluminary coronary angioplasty were more frequent in patients undergoing single rather than bilateral internal mammary artery grafting. Today coronary artery bypass grafting surgery is challenged by t...

Robotically enhanced telemanipulation surgery is a rapidly developing technique which enables totally endoscopic cardiac surgery with utmost precision and perfection on both beating heart and arrested heart. Between December 2002 and September 2006, 268 patients underwent robotically enhanced coronary artery bypass surgery using the da Vinci telemanipulation system. Fourteen patients underwent ...
