Background: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with diffuse systemic inflammatory responses during and after cardiac surgery and is associated with increased morbidity & mortality associated with Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting CABG, particularly in high risk sub set of patients i.e., advanced age, severe left ventricular dysfunction, renal failure, etc. The purpose of this study is to ...

In late years spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) had emerging as a non-atherosclerotic cause of acute syndrome (ACS).We report an interesting case young male patient presenting to emergency with substernal chest discomfort positive troponin and electrocardiogram changes consistent NSTEMI.Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) was initiated following ACS PROTOCOL, which found critic...

A 43-year-old male, with no previous history of mental illness, was diagnosed with coronary heart disease, after which he became acutely depressed and attempted suicide by ingesting an organophosphate pesticide. He was admitted to an intensive care unit and treated with pralidoxime, atropine, and oxygen. His coronary occlusion pattern required early coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surger...

We present a patient who developed recurrent angina after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Myocardial single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) demonstrated deterioration in the myocardial perfusion, and coronary angiography revealed an overgrown side branch of the grafted left internal thoracic artery (ITA); otherwise, there were no significant changes compared with previous im...

Introduction: Myocardial protection is one of the key points during cardiac surgery. Inadequate myocardial in cross-clamping period an issue concern Cardioplegic solutions improve tolerance ischemia and reperfusion by preserving energy reserves, preventing osmotic, electrolyte imbalances acidosis. Warm blood cardioplegia (WBC) has had a profound impact, especially coronary artery bypass surgery...

Brachiocephalic artery aneurysm with concomitant coronary artery aneurysm is rare. We describe a case of a patient with a history of prosthetic graft placement following resection of an abdominal aortic aneurysm and was subsequently found to have a brachiocephalic artery aneurysm. After surgical correction of the brachiocephalic aneurysm, postoperative coronary arteriography demonstrated corona...

Background: The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of aquatic aerobic training on regulatory factors related to Reverse Cholesterol Transport in women after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods: 24 middle-aged women were studied after coronary artery bypass grafting (12 were in control group and 12 in aquatic aerobic training group)....

The presence of occlusive disease of the subclavian artery (SCA) proximal to the origin of the internal thoracic artery (ITA) influences the operative strategy and the outcome of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Of 780 patients who underwent CABG, concomitant SCA occlusive lesions were reconstructed in 13 patients (nine males, four females). The affected SCAs were left-sided in 11 patien...

Diabetes mellitus, by virtue of myriad processes, including its effects reducing vascular nitric oxide and prostacyclin production and increasing endothelin, angiotensin II, tissue factor activity, and platelet activity (1,2), wreaks havoc on coronary and other arteries, leading to diffuse and often unstable coronary atherosclerosis. It is also a risk factor for poor outcomes after both percuta...
