Abstract: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a multifactorial problem. Although hyperlipidemia (HLP), diabetes (DM), and hypertension (HTN) are known as the familial and cardiac risk factors, CABG is rare in the several members of a family. We reported the six members of a family who presented with MI and/or advanced angina pectoris during the 6 years. CABG(Coronary artery bypass graft) considere...

Objectives: The objectives of this post hoc analysis was to describe the characteristics of cardiopulmonary indicators among patients with normal ventilator weaning response and dysfunctional ventilator weaning response after coronary artery bypass graft surgery, and to find the differences in characteristics of cardiopulmonary indicators between patients with normal ventilator weaning response...

general concept and major emphasis on off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (opcab) is maintaining quality of care and patient safety while reducing cost and resource utilization. opcab probably avoids the potential complications of cardiopulmonary bypass. however its acceptance depends on clinical and economic outcome. the aim of this study is to compare clinical and economic outcome of off-...

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...

Ascending aortic aneurysms are usually treated with graft replacement under cardiopulmonary bypass. However, if a candidate for off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting has an enlarged ascending aorta, surgeons may consider wrapping it without cardiopulmonary bypass. Here, we report a 78-year-old female who underwent successful wrapping of the ascending aorta concomitant with off-pump coronary ...

Background/Introduction Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in up to 30% of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. Development of kidney injury is associated with high overall mortality and a more complicated hospital course. Cardiopulmonary bypass is considered as one of the major risk factors for developing AKI. Off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) grafting eliminates the need f...

abstract background: improving the patients’ quality of life (qol) after coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg) is one of the main concerns of the treatment team. educational interventions may affect the aspects of qol in various ways. the present study aimed to investigate the effect of education based on the main concepts of logotherapy approach on the cabg patients’ quality of life. material...

this article describes coronary artery bypass grafting by avlliath jay akrishnan et al. one of the most common reason for coronary artery bypass grafting is narrowing coronary arteries because of atherosclerosis. atherosclerosis causes chest pain (angina pectoris), myocardial infarction and sudden death. the aim of coronary artery bypass grafting is to release pain, prevention of myocardial inf...

Background: Coronary artery bypass surgery is one of the surgeries in which high blood transfusions are needed. About 20% of all surgical operations require a blood transfusion. Packed cell administration increases perioperative morbidity and mortality. In the United States, from every 1000 people, one has undergone a coronary artery bypass graft surgery, and it is estimated that around 800,000...
