PURPOSE To investigate the effects of on-pump and off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) on the erectile function and endothelium-derived nitric oxide (eNO) levels. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-eight consecutive patients were randomized into two groups depending on use of cardiopulmonary bypass in CABG surgery. The erectile function was evaluated by using the IIEF-5 questionnaire. Th...

BackgroundWhile female sex has been associated with worse outcomes following coronary revascularization, previous analyses in left main artery (LMCA) disease have conflicting. In addition, a signal that increased mortality may be specific to women treated percutaneous intervention (PCI) requires further investigation.MethodsNordic-Baltic-British revascularization study (NOBLE) was randomized tr...

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the most commonly performed cardiac procedure and thyroid disorders (hypothyroidism hyperthyroidism) are widespread endocrine diseases. Till date, there no Indian study pertaining to prevalence of among subjects undergoing CABG. The aim this was determine CABG in a tertiary care hospital. This prospective observational hospital-based having 560 who unde...

OBJECTIVES We sought to develop national benchmarks for valve replacement surgery by developing statistical risk models of operative mortality. BACKGROUND National risk models for coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) have gained widespread acceptance, but there are no similar models for valve replacement surgery. METHODS The Society of Thoracic Surgeons National Cardiac Surgery Datab...

BACKGROUND The incidence of strokes has not decreased after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). The purpose of this study is to identify incidence, risk factors, and temporal pattern of strokes after on-pump and off-pump CABG. METHODS We analyzed 2,516 consecutive patients who underwent first elective isolated CABG. The primary endpoint was strokes within 30 days. The temporal onset ...

As percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty has become an increasingly common procedure replacing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), the clinical profile of the patients referred for CABG has changed markedly. A retrospective study of the changes in the clinical profile and surgical outcome of patients who underwent CABG during the past 10 years was conducted. Between March 1982 and ...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate long-term survival and need for reintervention (redo CABG or percutaneous coronary artery transluminal angioplasty, PTCA) as a result of graft materials employed at the primary coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). SUBJECTS AND METHODS 2,327 patients who underwent primary CABG between 1980 and 1990 were followed with regard to survival and reintervention requirements ...

conclusions inhalation aromatherapy is an effective method for reducing the heart rate and the level of anxiety in patients before cabg surgery. given that the physiological and psychological health of patients are important responsibilities for nurses, aromatherapy can be considered a safe and effective relaxation method before invasive interventions. learning this method is recommended for st...

conclusions reciting the word “allah” as a non-pharmacological, low-cost and non-invasive method with no side effects can be effective on pain relief after cabg surgery. results there was a significant difference regarding pain severity after the intervention between the two groups during three days after the operation (respectively p ≤ 0.001, p ≤ 0.001 and p ≤ 0.003), but no significant differ...

Sir, Pituitary infarction following Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) is rare but may have serious debilitating effects. We present two cases of panhypopituitarism after CABG. BR, 56 years man who presented with repeated falls following CABG done eight months back. Of late he was pleasantly surprised to see wonderfully good glycaemic control, which he was struggling to get before. His BMI ...
