The success of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery mainly depends on the pa‐ tency of graft vessels. The predominant mechanism of early graft failure after coronary sur‐ gery is associated with antiplatelet treatment using drungs such as acetylsalicylic acid (ASA). Prevention using oral ASA in the early postoperative phase in patients with vascular disease is associated with a 25% to...

Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) is the gold standard treatment for relieving angina symptoms and reducing mortality among ischemic heart disease patients. As post-operative thrombosis of the grafts has been a frequent complication of CABG, antiplatelet therapy remains essential to maintain graft patency. Since a long time, aspirin has been used as a single anti-platelet agent post C...

cardiovascular disease is the leading reason of morbidity in older people. coronary artery bypass graft (cabg) surgery is the most common type of operations in world. this study was designed to characterize comparison of early clinical outcome following on pump vs. off pump in patients over 70 years old with triple vessels disease and severe left ventricle dysfunction. 80 patients were divided ...

Surgeons should be aware of diaphragmatic hernia in obese patients who have undergone coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using a gastroepiploic artery graft (GEA), even if the antegastric route is utilized.We report a case of diaphragmatic hernia, which occurred 88 months after initial CABG. A 64-year-old obese man underwent surgical repair of a diaphragmatic hernia. At initial surgery, the...

BACKGROUND The clinical benefits of the left internal thoracic artery-to-left anterior descending coronary artery graft are well established in coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). However, limited data are available regarding the long-term outcome of the radial artery (RA) as a secondary conduit over the established standard of the saphenous venous graft. METHODS AND RESULTS We compa...

he concept of an interventional cardiologist coming to elp or correct a surgical problem during or shortly after oronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) was first introduced n 1998 by Reifart et al. (1). In their original report, Reifart t al. (1) performed emergency angiography, and when easible, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in 55 atients with clinical ischemia within 24 h of CABG. Wi...

Coronary artery bypass graft surgery continues to hold its preeminent position as treatment of choice for significant unprotected left main stem (UPLMS) artery disease. Recent randomized trials have however suggested that PCI may be considered reasonable alternative to CABG if the anatomy of LM disease is suitable and in acute coronary syndrome settings [1-6]. The SYNTAX trial randomly assigned...
