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...

The longer the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic takes, greater prothrombotic effects of disease, which varies from venous thromboembolic events to limb arterial thrombosis and stroke. How we deal with COVID-19 is still unclear. In this study, researchers will report clinical presentation, outcome management patient after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, led rapid progression thrombosis. positive...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) occurs in one quarter to one third of patients after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Conventional CABG uses cardiopulmonary bypass, a process that is itself associated with a systemic vascular inflammatory response that contributes to postoperative morbidity. The avoidance of cardiopulmonary bypass is associated with a significant reduction in the inflammat...

Background Stress myocardial perfusion MRI allows for accurate detection of flow-limiting stenosis in the coronary artery. However, reduced diagnostic accuracy of stress myocardial perfusion MRI was reported in patients with coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG). Flow measurement in CABG is another MR approach that permits functional assessment of graft stenosis. The purpose of this study was to...

Throughout its 30-year history, the right gastroepiploic artery (GEA) has been useful for in situ grafts in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The early graft patency rate is high, and the late patency rate has improved by using the skeletonized GEA graft and proper target selection, which involves having a target coronary artery with a tight >90% stenosis. Total arterial revascularization...

This study aims to (i) demonstrate the efficacy of a new surgical planning framework for complex cardiovascular reconstructions, (ii) develop a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) coupled multi-dimensional shape optimization method to aid patient-specific coronary artery by-pass graft (CABG) design and, (iii) compare the hemodynamic efficiency of the sequential CABG, i.e., raising a daughter par...

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery has been a great advance in the treatment of coronary artery disease, but the treatment of saphenous vein bypass graft (SVBG) disease remains a frustrating challenge. Although the natural history of coronary artery disease occurs over decades, the natural history of SVBG disease occurs over years. Denudation of endothelial cells in freshly harvested s...

S ince the introduction by Floyd Loop at the Cleveland Clinic of the internal mammary artery (IMA) as an arterial graft to bypass the left anterior descending artery (LAD), it has been the gold standard conduit for revascularization, principally because it demonstrated its potent survival benefit in the long term follow-up.1 However, patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) under...

Mediastinal irradiation has been shown to induce accelerated arteriosclerosis of calcification of thoracic aorta. Some people, with a history of cured malignant diseases, undergo Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery and the adverse effects of previous radiotherapy on the outcome after CABG is known, but there are few reports on radiotherapy induced coronary and aortic calcification, whic...
