conclusions music therapy is effective in decreasing anxiety among patients undergoing cabg. however, the intervention was not effective on cardiovascular indices. music can effectively be used as a non-pharmacological method to manage anxiety after cabg. results compared to the immediately before intervention, the mean anxiety scores immediately after and 30 minutes after the intervention were...

conclusions in cabg with cardiopulmonary bypass, using plasma cortisol level as a measure, isoflurane-sufentanil significantly reduces the stress response to the surgery, when compared to propofol-sufentanil. results compared to the baseline (t0), at the end of cardiopulmonary bypass (t1), both groups demonstrated a decrease in plasma cortisol levels with no statistical significant difference (...

Introduction: Nowadays, with the advancement of technology and industrial life, the prevalence of heart diseases including coronary artery diseases has considerably increased. Coronary artery diseases are one of the most common and serious diseases that threaten human life. Methods: The present study is a comparative-descriptive research. The statistical ...

Spasm following coronary artery bypass graft surgery has been well established in arterial grafts, especially in grafts utilizing the internal mammary. Venous graft spasms are uncommon and are only observed in vein grafts during or soon after the coronary artery bypass surgery. It is exceedingly rare to see spasm of venous graft beyond one year of surgery. We report a 72-year-old female who had...

Different suture techniques have been used for anastomosis in coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Bypass surgery may be difficult for patients who have small coronary arteries or marked size discrepancies between target coronary arteries and grafts. For proximal and distal anastomoses, three continuous stitches are first placed in the heel and toe of the small coronary arteries; for sequentia...

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...

et al. T graft with the right internal thoracic artery to left internal thoracic artery versus the left internal thoracic artery and radial artery: flow dynamics in the internal thoracic artery main stem. A new pattern for using both thoracic arteries to revascularize the entire heart: the pi-graft. Effects of heart rate on phasic Y-graft blood flow and flow reserve in patients with complete ar...

Left internal mammary artery grafting is commonly used in elective coronary artery bypass graft surgery. We report a near-fatal case with graft kinking upon sternal closure due to distended, emphysematous lungs impinging on the mammary graft. After the sternum was closed, the patient suffered a severe hemodynamic deterioration. Surgical examination revealed kinking of his left internal mammary ...

BACKGROUND Standard coronary artery bypass graft surgery uses a single internal mammary artery and supplemental vein or radial artery grafts. Several observational studies have suggested a survival benefit with two internal mammary artery grafts compared to a single internal mammary artery graft, but this has not been tested in a randomised trial. The Arterial Revascularisation Trial is a Medic...
