Objectives: The coronary endarterectomy combined with artery bypass grafting (CABG) is an useful but still controversial surgical technique in diffuse disease. aim of this study was to analyze the operative and early postoperative outcomes patients who underwent CABG without endarterectomy. Methods: This retrospective included a total 312 consequtive undergoing on-pump from December 2018 2020 D...

the management of carotid artery stenosis reduces the risk of stroke and its related deaths.   management options include risk factor modification and medical therapy, carotid endarterectomy (cea), and carotid artery stenting (cas). although several randomized controlled trials (rcts), mostly conducted in late-1980s and mid-1990s, have proved cea to be effective in the prevention of ipsilateral...

Background Since there is a lack of research on postoperative anticoagulation protocol in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) / coronary endarterectomy (CE), we recommend a new protocol for anticoagulation in these patients. Methods In this double-blind randomized clinical trial study, 52 patients undergoing CABG / CE entered the study and were divided into two groups. In ...

Coexistent carotid artery stenosis (CS) and multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) is not infrequent. One in 5 patients with multivessel CAD has a severe CS, and CAD incidence reaches 80% in those referred for carotid revascularization. We reviewed treatment strategies for concomitant severe CS and CAD. We performed a literature search (MEDLINE) with terms including carotid artery stenting (...

BACKGROUND Coronary Endarterectomy (CE) in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery has been shown to be beneficial in those with diffuse coronary artery disease. There are no published data on its role and benefit in patients undergoing more complex operations. We present our experience with CE in patients undergoing valve surgery with concomitant CABG. MATERIALS AND M...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The management of asymptomatic carotid stenosis found before vascular or coronary surgery is unclear from the literature. We aimed to define the relation of carotid stenosis to perioperative stroke in all patients, symptomatic and asymptomatic, and so determine a policy for the management of asymptomatic carotid stenosis in patients requiring major surgery. METHODS We c...

Purpose: Eversion carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is an effective form of management for atherosclerotic carotid bifurcation disease. Despite the early origins of this technique, it is still used infrequently as an alternative to the standard longitudinal patch closure. In this study we outline our results with the use of eversion endarterectomy for carotid disease over the past 14 years in over 7...
