: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been changing since its initial reports. There a shift from standard CABG, which uses sternotomy and single left internal mammary to the anterior descending (LAD) grafting, plus vein grafts other targets, performed on with aortic cross-clamping. We now have CABG using multiarterial grafts, avoiding manipulation of aorta, through minimally invasive ap...

Title: Dietary inflammatory index: a potent association with cardiovascular risk factors among patients candidate for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery Authors: Mahdieh Abbasalizad Farhangi ([email protected]) Mahdi Najafi ([email protected]) Version: 2 Date: 11 Jan 2018 Author’s response to reviews: NUTJ-D-17-00280 12 January 2017 Title: Dietary inflammatory index as...

The clinical and prognostic benefits of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are well accepted for certain subgroups of patients with ischaemic heart disease, and as many as one million patients undergo this operation annually on a worldwide basis. Most CABG patients require grafting of the three main native coronary arteries; for the last 15 years the “standard” operation has achieved this u...

OBJECTIVE The authors performed a retrospective cost analysis for patients undergoing revascularization of their left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery either by standard coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), or minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (MICABG). SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA Minimally invasive CABG has becom...

Coronary revascularization has matured as a field since coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was first developed over 50 years ago, with diagnostic and treatment methods having advanced dramatically. CABG remains the standard of care for obstructive disease, particularly patients multivessel disease or diabetes. It is now recognized that not all created equal—operative strategy, including con...

Introduction Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery is associated with a decline in ventilatory muscle strength and lung function. Inspiratory training (IMT) based on anaerobic threshold (AT) has been used to minimize the impact of CABG these parameters, but long-term unknown. Objective To test hypothesis that AT-based IMT improves inspiratory function even six months after CABG. Method...

Hybrid revascularization of multivessel coronary artery disease by combining bypass grafting (CABG) and chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous intervention (PCI) is a relatively novel concept. CABG-CTO PCI aims to combine the durable clinical benefits left internal mammary graft (ideally minimally invasively) with durability CTO in non-left anterior descending vessels. This review assesses ...

Coronary artery disease remains a major cause of mortality and morbidity with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We report two cases of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) associated with SLE. The first patient (a 45-year-old woman) underwent CABG operation for left main and two-vessel coronary disease using cardiopulmonary bypass. Successful CABG was done using off-pump technique in the se...
