In this theoretical study, the effect of various types of bypass graft angles on the flow field, has been investigated specially on the temporal Wall Shear Stress (WSS) on the toe, heel and some locations on the bed of the Left Anterior Descending (LAD) artery at the anastomoses areas in the Aorto-Coronary (AC) and Coronary-Coronary (CC) bypasses. Flow fields in both bypasses with angles of...

conclusions our study showed that desmopressin could not reduce the amount of blood loss after cabg. also, desmopressin did not have a significant effect on coagulation status. therefore, based on the results of our study, it seems that the use of this medication cannot be a helpful for patients with any indication for cabg. background coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg) is a common surgical...

introduction : there is always concerns regarding postoperative bleeding in coronary artery bypass graft (cabg) patients; a number of different strategies have been used to compensate for it and to reduce the amount of blood transfusion. we designed this study to see if local fibrinogen could decrease postoperative bleeding in adult cabg, which is not studied yet. materials and methods : in a d...

conclusions physical or physiological and psychological stressors impose greater stress and are predictors of anxiety. when preparing their nursing care plan, nurses should consider these stressors that affect anxiety levels in patients undergoing cabg surgery and those hospitalized in intensive care units. patients and methods this is a descriptive-analytical study that uses a non-random conve...
