The determinants of CABG patients' outcomes

open access: yesHealth Care Management Science, 1999
This study examined the self-reported health status of 90 patients who had undergone Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG). Data were collected by the Short Form-36 (SF-36) instrument, administered twice at preoperative and postoperative periods. The reliability of the SF-36 ranged from 0.68 to 0.93 in the analysis of preoperative and postoperative ...

Aspirin Resistance after CABG

open access: yesThe Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 2009
Temporary aspirin resistance can occur during the post-CABG period. If the factors causing resistance can be identified, the incidence of early graft occlusions can also be minimized.25 elective CABG cases were enrolled in the study. The platelet count, mean platelet volume, the C-reactive protein level, lipid profile, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and ...

Nitric oxide and the CABG patient

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Pharmacology, 2012
The post surgery success of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is counteracted by thrombosis and de-endothelialization, intimal hyperplasia and, over the long term, atherosclerosis. There are many reasons to assume that in CABG patients vascular bioavailability of NO generated by the endothelium plays an important role for graft function.

Octopus follow-up: 20 year prognosis in patients randomized to on-pump CABG, off-pump CABG or PCI [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cardiology
BACKGROUND: The very long-term outcomes of off-pump versus on-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) are largely unclear.

Renal dysfunction and CABG

Current Opinion in Pharmacology, 2012
Renal dysfunction after coronary artery bypass grafting is common and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. A number of strategies with potential renoprotective effects have been investigated, but no single one has been found to warrant routine use in CABG except fenoldopam in which the data to date appear promising. Other measures such

Minimally invasive CABG

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2001
For more than three decades, conventional coronary artery bypass grafting (full sternotomy, cardiopulmonary bypass, and cardioplegic arrest) has been the treatment of choice for patients with multi-vessel coronary artery disease. However, neurologic injury secondary to ascending aortic manipulation and systemic inflammatory reaction related to ...

CABG Should Be a Subspecialty

Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery
Subspecialization in surgery is increasingly common and for great reasons. Over the past 20 years, there has been evidence in support of the link between subspecialization in the disciplines of orthopedic surgery, general, thoracic surgery, neurosurgery, and in interventional cardiology and better patient outcomes and technical advances in their ...

Innovative surgical strategies: Minimally invasive CABG and off-pump CABG

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2004
Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) have made up a significant facet of the recent attempts of surgical myocardial revascularization to evolve. Driven by an effort to limit the deleterious effects of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), along with a response to both the growing ...

Care of the Post-CABG Patient

Cardiology in Review, 2020
An estimated 400,000 coronary artery bypass graft operations are performed annually in the United States. Saphenous vein grafts are the most commonly used conduits; however, graft failure is common. In contrast, left internal mammary artery grafts have more favorable long-term patency rates. Guidelines recommend aggressive secondary prevention.

CABG in the Elderly: The Glasgow Experience

Gerontology, 2009
One hundred and eleven patients over the age of 65 years who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting in Glasgow between 1980 and 1985 were compared with 548 younger patients, who had coronary artery bypass surgery over a similar period of time. The elderly group had a higher prevalence of females, pre-operative unstable angina, left main coronary ...
