A Synopsis of Stent Graft Technology Development [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of death worldwide. Treatments have evolved, with stenting becoming the primary approach over bypass surgery. This article reviews the evolution of coronary stent technology, starting from the first angioplasty in 1977. Pioneers like Forssmann, Dotter, and Gruentzig established the foundation.

New-onset atrial fibrillation following coronary bypass surgery predicts long-term mortality: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2015
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common postoperative complications following cardiac surgery. Recent evidence suggests that postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) may be more 'malignant' than previously thought, associated with follow-up ...

Evaluation of factors associated with selection for coronary angiography and in‐hospital mortality among patients presenting with out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest without ST‐segment elevation

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 100, Issue 7, Page 1159-1170, December 1, 2022., 2022
Abstract Background Clinical factors favouring coronary angiography (CA) selection and variables associated with in‐hospital mortality among patients presenting with out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) without ST‐segment elevation (STE) remain unclear.

Statistical matching and subclassification with a continuous dose: characterization, algorithm, and application to a health outcomes study [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Subclassification and matching are often used in empirical studies to adjust for observed covariates; however, they are largely restricted to relatively simple study designs with a binary treatment and less developed for designs with a continuous exposure.

Is transfusion in coronary artery surgery a predictor or a cause of reduced long-term survival? [PDF]

, 2020
Background Transfusion is common after coronary bypass surgery. Transfused patients present with higher operative risk and an increased hazard ratio for curtailed long-term survival. There is debate as to whether transfusion itself may further exacerbate

Two-year changes in bone density after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery.

Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2015
CONTEXT Bariatric surgery is increasingly popular but may lead to metabolic bone disease. OBJECTIVE The objective was to determine the rate of bone loss in the 24 months after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. DESIGN AND SETTING This was a prospective cohort
