BACKGROUND Postoperative Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a common complication associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is accepted to contribute to the occurrence of AKI and is of particular importance as it can be avoided by using the off-pump technique. However the renoprotective properties of off-pump (CABG) ...

conclusions in cabg with cardiopulmonary bypass, using plasma cortisol level as a measure, isoflurane-sufentanil significantly reduces the stress response to the surgery, when compared to propofol-sufentanil. results compared to the baseline (t0), at the end of cardiopulmonary bypass (t1), both groups demonstrated a decrease in plasma cortisol levels with no statistical significant difference (...

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and most developed countries. The majority of deaths are due to coronary artery disease. It is estimated that 419,000 coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedures were performed in the United States in 2009 for the surgical treatment of coronary artery disease. Off-pump CABG (without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass...

patients with coronary artery disease and left ventricular dysfunction have high mortality with non surgical (medical) treatment. coronary artery bypass grafting improves survival and the quality of life. recently, revascularization without cardiopulmonary bypass has been presented as a viable alternative. the aim of this study was to survey the result of coronary artery bypass grafting with of...

Surgical revascularization of the heart (CABG - coronary artery bypass grafting) is one way of treating coronary heart disease. Bleeding is one of the serious and frequent complications of heart surgery and can result in increased mortality and morbidity. Hemostasis disorder may be secondary consequences of surgical bleeding, preoperative anticoagulant therapy, and the use of cardiopulmonary by...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine whether coronary artery bypass grafting without cardiopulmonary bypass (off-pump CABG) decreases risk-adjusted operative death and major complications after coronary artery bypass grafting in selected patients. METHODS Using The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) National Adult Cardiac Surgery Database, procedural outcomes were compared fo...

the present study was undertaken to compare the in hospital results of coronary artery bypass graft (cabg) with (on pump) or without (off pump) cardiopulmonary bypass (cpb). data were collected on all first-time isolated cabgs with saphenous vein and/or artery grafts at shahid madani hospital in tabriz-iran, between 2006 and 2009. age and clinical profile were marched between on pump and off pu...

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 ...

OBJECTIVE Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with a systemic inflammatory response. This is mainly attributed to cytokine release caused by CPB and global myocardial ischemia. Coronary artery bypass grafting without cardiopulmonary bypass (off-pump CABG, OPCAB) is now accepted as a less invasive technique than conventional CABG. This study was...
