OBJECTIVES We sought to determine (1) return to work (RTW) rates, (2) long-term employment (>12 months postprocedure), (3) time taken to RTW, and (4) quality of life (QoL), in patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). METHODS Questionnaires regarding RTW were sent to 689 PCI and 169 CABG patients who underwent PCI or CABG at Univ...

OBJECTIVE To summarise the potential consequences of atrial fibrillation (AF) after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) and the relationship of the arrhythmia with serum magnesium concentration ([Mg]) and to review the trials of magnesium supplementation as prophylaxis against post-CABG AF. DATA SOURCES Abstracts, articles and published reviews on AF after CABG and magnesium prophylax...

We compared stroke rates associated with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), both on-pump and off-pump, and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with both drug-eluting stent (DES) and bare-metal stent (BMS) and the impact on 30-day and 1-year all-cause mortality. The Myocardial Infarction Data Acquisition System database was used to study patients who had on-pump CABG (n = 47,254), off-...

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Public Institution(s). Main source(s): National Institute Cardiology grant. Objectives To evaluate, whether a pre-CABG coronary computed tomography based FFR (FFR-CT) result at the site future anastomosis would predict graft failure in patients undergoing CABG. Background Functional guidance surgical revascularization remains debatable....

Background: Chronic kidney disease combined with coronary artery is a growing public health issue. Preoperative renal dysfunction one of the major risk factors for perioperative morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing bypass grafting (CABG). This study aimed to analyze early clinical outcomes CABG preoperative impairment.
 Methods: The was conducted from July 2017 2019. We included ...

Background: Postoperative hypoxia (POH) is a complication that often occurs in patients after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG). Breathing exercises are considered effective overcoming POH CABG. However, this intervention has not been implemented using the dynamic nurse-patient relationship model from Ida Jean Orlando. The expected to improve quality of nursing care cardiac surgery.Purpose...

Aortic valve replacement following an earlier coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedure is fairly common. When this situation occurs, the type of valve dysfunction is usually stenosis (with or without regurgitation), and whether it was missed at the time of the earlier CABG or developed subsequently is usually unclear. We attempted to determine the survival in patients who had had aortic...

BACKGROUND Women experience greater morbidity and mortality than men after conventional coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The objective of this study was to determine whether off-pump CABG (OPCAB) alters this gender-based disparity. METHODS AND RESULTS Retrospective review of risk factors and clinical outcomes for 11 413 consecutive patients having isolat...

BACKGROUND Surgical ventricular reconstruction is a specific procedure designed to reduce left ventricular volume in patients with heart failure caused by coronary artery disease. We conducted a trial to address the question of whether surgical ventricular reconstruction added to coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) would decrease the rate of death or hospitalization for cardiac causes, as co...

BACKGROUND The prevalence of native coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs) after coronary artery bypass grafts (CABGs) is higher than in non-CABG population. We examined outcomes of CTO percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) post-CABG versus without CABG. Then, we looked at feasibility and outcomes of retrograde CTO PCI via patent or occluded saphenous vein graft. METHODS AND RESULTS We c...
