Abstract Date Presented 04/02/2022 Eight million coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgeries are performed worldwide annually to ameliorate the effects of atherosclerosis on cardiovascular system; there is a higher incidence in developing countries, such as Jordan. CABG invasive, with lengthy recovery, and affect an individual’s occupational performance. This study aimed investigate lived exp...

It is thirty-five years since the initial coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) was performed in Japan in 1970. There was more risk in surgery in the early days, and many efforts have been made to decrease the mortality rate. Since the 1980’s when I was training to be a heart surgeon, surgical outcomes have improved, and the number of surgical cases has been steadily increasing. Since the long-te...

I read with interest the article in the April 2012 edition by Grau et al. I congratulate Grau et al. [1] for an excellent study. It will be interesting to know how both internal mammary arteries were used—either in situ or as y graft. In spite of the established superiority of left internal mammary artery graft, the use of the bilateral internal mammary artery has not gained popularity. In rece...

OBJECTIVE The authors performed a retrospective cost analysis for patients undergoing revascularization of their left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery either by standard coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), or minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (MICABG). SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA Minimally invasive CABG has becom...

background: lactic acidosis in cardiac surgical patients is a manifestation of systemic inflammation and excess pro-inflammatory cytokine production. this investigation was designed to integrate basic concepts about lactate acidosis with a clinically used of serum lactate in patients under coronary artery bypass surgery (cabg) by on pump method. methods: from august to september 2012, 15 patien...

That is the question every cardiologist should ask if the patient he or she has referred for primary surgical coronary revascularization returns from the operating room with a single internal thoracic artery graft. There is a substantial body of evidence demonstrating that the majority of coronary bypass patients benefit more when coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is performed with bo...

Aneurysms of saphenous vein graft are a known but rare complication of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). In this report, we present a case of a 59-year-old man who presented 16 years after CABG, three aneurysms of the saphenous vein graft to the right coronary artery compressing right atrium but with low symptoms. Transoesophageal echocardiography and CT scan were used to identify the ane...

AIMS In acute coronary syndromes (ACS), the optimal revascularization strategy for unprotected left main coronary disease (ULMCD) has been little studied. The objectives of the present study were to describe the practice of ULMCD revascularization in ACS patients and its evolution over an 8-year period, analyse the prognosis of this population and determine the effect of revascularization on ou...
