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...

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...

non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (niddm) is a common disease entity in patients with coronary artery disease (cad). diabetic ketoacidosis (dka) is not only one of the major complications of diabetes mellitus but also a significant challenging clinical entity for the patients undergoing any elective or emergency surgery. coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg) being done in a patient with ...

coronary artery disease is one of the most common causes of mortality and morbidity across the world. its treatment includes medical treatment, coronary artery bypass graft (cabg) and percutaneous coronary intervention (pci). the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of pci on echocardiographic findings of left ventricular (lv) systolic and diastolic function. 115 patients with co...

conclusions both anesthetic regimens were acceptable for induction in patients with coronary artery disease and left ventricular dysfunction undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. results incidence of pain on injection (2 - 4%) and myoclonus (10%) was less in both groups. the hemodynamic response was similar in the two groups for all variables over the time interval, except for ci at ...

The most quoted long-term outcome studies from the coronary artery bypass surgery literature were performed in the 1970s, and these trials--the Coronary Artery Surgery Study, the Veterans Administration Study, and the European Cooperative Study--added significantly to our knowledge of the efficacy of bypass surgery. However, important studies are still being performed and are refining our knowl...

E et al. Off-pump or on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting at 30 days. versus on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting for ischaemic heart disease. A meta-analysis of large randomized trials for mid-term major cardio-and cerebrovascular events following off-pump versus on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. Long-term follow-up of morbidity and mortality after aortic valve replacement with a ...

background : cardiovascular operations are associated with an inherent bleeding tendency that sometimes leads to severe bleeding and transfusion requirement. pharmacological intervention to minimize post-bypass bleeding and blood product transfusions has received increasing attention from both medical and economic viewpoints. methods: this double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical t...
