Coronary Artery Segmentation and Motion Modelling

open access: yes, 2011
Conventional coronary artery bypass surgery requires invasive sternotomy and the use of a cardiopulmonary bypass, which leads to long recovery period and has high infectious potential. Totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass (TECAB) surgery based on

Single‐Incision Anterolateral Thoracotomy for LVAD Implantation: A Novel Minimally Invasive Approach

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
A novel single‐incision anterolateral thoracotomy technique enables complete HeartMate 3 implantation without sternotomy, minimizing surgical trauma and accelerating recovery. This minimally invasive approach is feasible, safe, and may represent a new standard in advanced heart failure surgery.

Serum lactate as a prognostic factor in coronary artery bypass graft operation by on pump method [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
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 ...

Driveline Infections Among Patients Supported With Left Ventricular Assist Devices: A Single Center Sixteen‐Year Longitudinal Profile

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Our study of 1026 LVAD implants revealed HeartWare had lower driveline infection rates than other LVAD types. In addition, severe diabetes was associated with higher risk, while older age and coronary artery disease were linked to a lower risk of driveline infections.

Outcome of Intracoronary Shunt in Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery in Patients with Low Cardiac Output

open access: yesActa Medica Iranica, 2014
Patients with coronary artery disease and left ventricular dysfunction have high mortality with non surgical (medical) treatment. Coronary artery bypass grafting improves survival and the quality of life.

Off-pump versus on-pump coronary artery surgery in octogenarians (from the KROK Registry)

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Background According to the medical literature, both on-pump and off-pump coronary artery surgery is safe and effective in octogenarians. Objectives The aim of our study was to examine the epidemiology, in-hospital outcomes and long-term follow-up ...

Hemocompatibility and Long‐Term Outcomes in HeartWare Versus HeartMate II Versus HeartMate 3: Multicenter Real‐World Cohort

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Multicenter real‐world cohort (n = 327) comparing LVADs: HeartMate 3 (HM3), HeartMate II (HMII), and HeartWare (HVAD). HM3 showed superior long‐term survival versus legacy devices, driven by fewer hemocompatibility‐related adverse events, especially pump thrombosis and ischemic stroke, while major bleeding was similar across devices.

Opportunities for improving platelet transfusion practice: A large retrospective audit across 22 hospitals

open access: yesBritish Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Summary Despite evidence‐based guidelines to inform platelet transfusion practice, unnecessary platelet transfusion persists. We performed a multicentre retrospective analysis of adults admitted to general medicine, subspecialty medicine and critical care from 1 January 2017 to 30 June 2022.

Off-pump coronary bypass grafting is safe and efficient in patients with left main disease and higher EuroScore [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Background: Summary Left main disease (LMD) and associated cardiac risk factors are often perceived as a limiting factor for the outcome of off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) grafting. In this study, we assess whether the outcome of OPCAB surgery is

Non‐canonical PKG1 regulation in cardiovascular health and disease

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
It is well established that the cyclic GMP‐dependent protein kinase I (PKG1) is canonically activated by cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), enabling its regulation of vascular tone, cardiac function and smooth muscle homeostasis. However, diverse non‐canonical stimuli of PKG1 have also been identified.
