reliable, exclusively in appropriately selected situations. In creation of bypass grafts, durable completeness of revascularization and function of the ITA to the LAD bypass should not be compromised. We would suggest that the balanced bypass flow toward the LAD and the RCA is noticeably important to achieve an entire patency of the Y-graft for three-vessel regions. This study is not conclusive...

OBJECTIVE Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting may result in fewer myocardial and vascular complications than on-pump. Although differences in aortic manipulations likely play a role, the systemic responses of endothelial progenitor cells to both types of operations have not been examined. We sought to examine endothelial progenitor cell characteristics after off-pump versus on-pump coronar...

the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of an 8 week period of aerobic interval training and massage therapy on changes in c-reactive protein (crp) level and cardiorespiratory fitness in cardiovascular patients after coronary artery bypass graft. the study population consisted of patients who had undergone a coronary artery bypass graft and at least one month had passed since t...

Internal mammary artery harvesting is an essential part of any coronary artery bypass operation. Totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass graft surgery has become reality in many centers as a safe and effective alternative to conventional surgery in selected patients. Internal mammary artery harvesting is the initial part of the procedure and should be performed equally safely if one wants to ...

background: currently healthy heart word considered to be the objective of community health applications in many countries of the world because cardiovascular diseases are the most important factor in mortality of humans, worldwide. coronary artery bypass graft surgery is one of the most common surgery procedures for these patients. the purpose of this study is to assess the impact of therapeut...

OBJECTIVE To compare the clinical, angiographic, neurocognitive, and quality of life outcomes of off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery with conventional coronary artery bypass grafting surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass. DESIGN Randomised controlled clinical trial. SETTING Tertiary cardiothoracic centre in Middlesex, England. PARTICIPANTS 168 patients (27 women) requiring primary isol...

BACKGROUND It has been previously shown that a persistent (up to 1 month) prothrombotic status occurs after coronary bypass surgery performed both on pump and off pump. To assess the pathways involved in the occurrence of postoperative prothrombotic state, in this study we evaluated plasma, monocyte-bound, and platelet-bound tissue factor expression, as well as platelet and soluble P-selectin e...

The treatment tactics for subclavian artery occlusion include the more commonly used endovascular therapy rather than surgical intervention. We present a case of a 61-year-old woman with dialysis-dependent chronic renal failure who experienced left finger necrosis in the left upper extremity. To salvage the limb, we performed femoro-axillary (fem-ax) artery bypass using an autologous saphenous ...

OBJECTIVES Patients with coronary artery disease and left ventricular dysfunction have high mortality when kept in clinical treatment. Coronary artery bypass grafting can improve survival and the quality of life. Recently, revascularization without cardiopulmonary bypass has been presented as a viable alternative. The aim of this study is to compare patients with left ventricular ejection fract...
