Case Report: Mrs. G is a 65year-old retired banker who has had Canadian Cardiovascular Society class III angina for the past 2 months and symptomatic intermittent claudication for the past year. Her past medical history is unremarkable except for the presence of multiple vascular risk factors (smoking, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes). Coronary angiography revealed triple vessel diseas...

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the standard treatment for advanced coronary artery diseases (CAD). Optimal placement of the bypass graft on the diseased vessel is very important. To assist the surgeon in this matter, a computer assistance system has been developed facilitating navigation on the heart surface. After retrospective validation on patient data sets yielded good results, t...

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery has been the preferred revascularization technique for multivessel coronary artery disease, particularly in patients with diabetes mellitus [1–4]. However, with the rapid progress in the field of interventional cardiology, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been widely used as a less invasive approach to CABG surgery, with encouraging result...

Background: Coronary Artery Bypass Graft surgery (CABG) remains the most performed cardiac worldwide. Fear of movement (Kinesiophobia) after is associated with physical activity and non-adherence to rehabilitation. It observed that functional capacity significantly reduced surgery. Long term Kinesiophobia leads avoidance behaviours hampers levels deconditioning. The aim study was find out Corre...

Background: Off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is supposed to reduce perioperative mortality and morbidity compared with on-pump coronary bypass graft surgery. The causes of hemodynamic collapse during off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) remain scarcely defined. We present an analysis of 7 cases who were converted to conventional CABG due to sustained hemodynamic collapse ...

BACKGROUND Robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been shown in short-term studies to increase patient satisfaction and to reduce surgical morbidity and recovery times. However, the long-term patency rate of robotic-assisted CABG is unknown. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess the long-term patency rate of robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass grafts. M...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Antiplatelet drugs are frequently used after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery to prevent venous graft occlusion. The fear of bleeding complications prevents them to be given early post operatively, which is the time when antiplatelets use confers maximum benefit. Our objective was to determine the effect and influence of early aspirin therapy on fatal and nonfa...

Transthoracic Doppler echocardiography (TDE) is a non-invasive and easy reproducible method to assess the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) graft patency after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). LIMA graft dysfunction is rare, its rate being 10% at 10 to 15 years after revascularization. The most common cause of graft dysfunction is the competitive flow with the native coronary arte...

BACKGROUND There are limited data on outcomes of patients with previous coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) presenting with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). We report outcomes in patients with STEMI undergoing PPCI with or without previous CABG surgery in a large real-world, all-comer population. METHODS AN...
