Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and most developed countries. The majority of deaths are due to coronary artery disease. It is estimated that 419,000 coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedures were performed in the United States in 2009 for the surgical treatment of coronary artery disease. Off-pump CABG

Descending aortic calcification increases renal dysfunction and in-hospital mortality in cardiac surgery patients with intraaortic balloon pump counterpulsation placed perioperatively : a case control study [PDF]
Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery increases length of hospital stay and in-hospital mortality. A significant number of patients undergoing cardiac surgical procedures require perioperative intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP ...

On-pump versus off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting with left internal mammary artery for left anterior descending artery stenosis: a retrospective study over 15 years [PDF]
Backrounds The on-pump surgery might induce a higher number of postoperative complications because of the extra-corporal circulation (ECC) that is not a physiological process.

Off-Pump CABG in a Patient with Dextrocardia Totalis: A Case Report [PDF]
Coronary revascularization in patients with dextrocardia is not a common clinical condition. There are very few cases of off-pump coronary artery bypass. A 64-year-old woman was admitted to a university hospital due to exertional chest pain.

Source, triggers and clinical implications of hyperlactemia in patients undergoing mitral valve surgery using Custodiol cardioplegia [PDF]
Postoperative blood hyperlactaemia is an indicator of organ anaerobic metabolism and is associated with morbidity after cardiac surgery. This prospective study aims to explore the source, triggers and clinical implications for hyperlactaemia in patients ...
