aim and background: coronary artery bypass graft (cabg) surgery is the most common surgical procedure for patients suffering from coronary artery diseases. many studies demonstrated cabg as a serious crisis for patients resulting in excessive stress and anxiety. this study was performed to assess the effects of reflexology on anxiety levels among cabg surgery candidates in shahid chamran hospit...

Pericardial hemangioma is very rare and their coincidence with other visceral hemamgiomas is exceptional. We are reporting a 72-year-old man with an incidentally discovered pericardial hemangioma during coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and mitral valve replacement surgery and a prior history of multiple hepatic cavernous hemangiomas. This case has been reported due to its extreme rarity. To ...

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...

OBJECTIVE We evaluated the efficacy and safety of dual protection therapy with staged coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and bare-metal stenting (BMS) in patients with left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease. BACKGROUND CABG is currently the preferred therapy for complex LMCA disease; however, the long-term patency rates of these grafts are unsatisfactory, and stenting alone for LMCA may...

OBJECTIVES The techniques of performing coronary revascularization without cardiopulmonary bypass are rapidly evolving. However, concern remains regarding the accuracy of coronary artery anastomoses performed on the beating heart. This report reviews the use of intraoperative angiography in the critical appraisal of "off-pump" coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. PATIENTS Intraoperati...

Clinical evidence demonstrates that patients with telomere biology disorders, such as dyskeratosis congenita, are more prone to coronary artery disease. We present the case of a 43-year-old female diagnosed congenita critical cardiovascular She underwent bypass graft (CABG) improvement her cardiac function. Although this is rare genetic disease, further studies warranted investigate underlying ...

Unfortunately, venous bypass grafts still have a prominent role in operative coronary revascularization (coronary artery bypass graft [CABG]). Venous grafts develop pathologically occlusive disease that limits the effectiveness of CABG, and antiplatelet drugs following operation may limit this problem. The types and indications of antiplatelet drugs following CABG generate some controversy in t...

BACKGROUND In severe coronary artery disease, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery is indicated to re-establish an adequate blood supply to the ischemic myocardium. Effectiveness of CABG surgery for symptom relief and mortality decrease should therefore depend on bypass graft patency. As bypass using a left internal mammary artery (LIMA)-to-left anterior descending coronary artery (LA...

Purpose: The aim of this study is to describe the adherence patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) after revascularization Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) and Percutaneous Intervention (PCI) in initiating, sustaining, completing phase II cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs.Methods: This a descriptive cross sectional design. Data taken retrospectively using secondary data from medical ...
