introduction: as off pump coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (cabg) is a developing method in coronary cardiac surgery, most surgeons are anxious about the danger of emergency crash conversion. in this observational study we tried to show the rate and outcome of conversion . material and methods: in this descriptive study about 477 coronary off-pump cabg patients were operated in ghaem hos...

introduction aortic surgery has made much progress recently. yet the combination of aortic surgery and coronary artery bypass grafting has remained a major issue for the surgeons. patient and observation herein, we present a case of severe aortic insufficiency with aortic aneurysm concomitant with single coronary artery disease on the right coronary artery. the patient underwent bentall procedu...

conclusions: in the present study, applying positive airway pressure methods (cpap or imv) during cpb was associated with better postoperative abg measurements and (a-a) do2. results: the demographic data were similar in between three groups. graft number, pump time and preoperative abgs were not significantly different. postoperative pao2 were significantly higher in the cpap and imv groups an...

arterial sclerosis has been extensively described but reports on venous sclerosis are very sparse. phlebosclerosis refers to the thickening and hardening of the venous wall. despite its morphological similarities with arteriosclerosis and potential morbid consequences, phlebosclerosis has gained only little attention. we report a 72 year old male with paralysis and atrophy of the right leg due ...

conclusions this study shows that pci in symptomatic post cabg patients follows by high successful and low complication rate and positive impression on their cardiac symptoms and could reduce the need for redo cabg. it seems that there is no difference that pci is performing on svg or native vessel, the intervention itself improves the patients’ quality of life. patients and methods in this stu...

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...

background: systolic blood pressure recovery (rsbp) is of prognostic value for predicting the survival and co-morbidity rate in patients with coronary artery disease (cad). this study investigated the association between rsbp and exercise indices after complete cardiac rehabilitation program (cr) in a population-based sample of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg). methods...

conclusions in total, application of therapeutic approaches in patients with cad depends on many factors. in our study not only risk factors such as gender, lifestyle, smoking, alcohol abuse, diabetes and hypertension were associated with the incidence of cad, but also they were highly correlated with the severity of the disease. results the mean age of total patients was 58.3 ± 11.5 years (p =...
