The main purpose of the off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery is to reduce morbidity and mortality due cardiopulmonary bypass. However, even though many studies have shown that off-pump coronary artery bypass is feasible and provides hospital morbidity and mortality similar to the on-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery, probably better in some aspects, its long-term results have been qu...

Relationship Between Serum CRP Levels and Mortality; one Year After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery

A 55-year-old man presented with clinical signs of an aortic arch aneurysm. Angiography, MRI and CT demonstrated an aortic arch aneurysm and an aneurysm of the aberrant right subclavian artery. Coronary angiography revealed 95% stenosis in the right coronary artery. Right common carotid artery-right subclavian artery bypass, arch graft replacement and coronary artery bypass grafting were perfor...

in this theoretical study, the effect of various types of bypass graft angles on the flow field, has been investigated specially on the temporal wall shear stress (wss) on the toe, heel and some locations on the bed of the left anterior descending (lad) artery at the anastomoses areas in the aorto-coronary (ac) and coronary-coronary (cc) bypasses. flow fields in both bypasses with angles of 20º...

Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is a rare entity. Sometimes it may associate with mild diffuse or segmental coronary ectasia. CAF with giant coronary artery is exceptionally rare. We present a unique case of a 49-year-old female patient with a giant right coronary artery of diffuse ectasia coexisting with a fistula draining into the right ventricle. To our best knowledge, CAF with diffuse coronar...

The coronary circulation of anesthetized dogs was tested for the presence of vascular waterfalls by manipulating coronary arterial and coronary venous pressures. The left main coronary artery and the coronary sinus were cannulated, and relationships between coronary artery pressure, coronary sinus pressure, and coronary flow were studied. Experiments were conducted during diastolic arrests, und...

abstract background: different modes of mechanical ventilation are used for respiratory support after coronary artery bypass graft (cabg). this study aimed to compare the effect(s) of using adaptive support ventilation (asv) and synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (simv) on the length of mechanical ventilation (intubation duration) and hospital stay after coronary artery bypass graf...

The importance and effectiveness of rehabilitation programs after cardiac surgery is undeniable, proven widely known. At the same time, patients’ compliance at outpatient stage relevant well-known. In our research we analyzed opinion 84th cardiologists regarding safety assessed five-year dynamics changes in their attitude to this problem. Convinced a positive shift cardiologists’ perception cor...
