On-line assessment of regional ventricular wall motion by transesophageal echocardiography with color kinesis during minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting [PDF]
Objective: Our objective was to determine the changes in regional ventricular wall motion during minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting by color kinesis using transesophageal echocardiography.

Off-pump versus on-pump coronary-artery bypass grafting in elderly patients.
BACKGROUND The benefits of coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) without cardiopulmonary bypass in the elderly are still undetermined. METHODS We randomly assigned patients 75 years of age or older who were scheduled for elective first-time CABG to ...

ABSTRACT Background Directional coronary atherectomy (DCA) is effective for bifurcation lesions but carries a risk of coronary perforation, due to geographical and recognition errors during the procedure. Geographical errors involve incorrect targeting of plaque‐free areas, whereas recognition errors stem from the misinterpretation of visual ...

Iatrogenic aortocoronary arteriovenous fistula is a very rare complication of coronary artery bypass grafting in which one of the arterial grafts inadvertently forms a fistulous tract with a cardiac vein, shunting blood from the anastomosed coronary ...

Effects of off-pump and on-pump coronary-artery bypass grafting at 1 year.
BACKGROUND Previously, we reported that there was no significant difference at 30 days in the rate of a primary composite outcome of death, myocardial infarction, stroke, or new renal failure requiring dialysis between patients who underwent coronary ...

Off-pump or on-pump coronary-artery bypass grafting at 30 days.
BACKGROUND The relative benefits and risks of performing coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) with a beating-heart technique (off-pump CABG), as compared with cardiopulmonary bypass (on-pump CABG), are not clearly established.

History of scurvy and use of vitamin C in critical illness: A narrative review
Abstract In 1747, an important milestone in the history of clinical research was set, as the Scottish surgeon James Lind conducted the first randomized controlled trial. Lind was interested in scurvy, a severe vitamin C deficiency which caused the death of thousands of British seamen.

Prevalence of carotid artery stenosis in ischaemic heart disease patients in Bangladesh
Background: Concurrent carotid artery stenosis and ischaemic heart disease rates are increasing day by day in Bangladesh. Moreover, carotid artery stenosis has been identified as a high-risk factor for postoperative ischaemic cerebral inconvenience ...

Deep learning analysis of coronary arteries in cardiac CT angiography for detection of patients requiring invasive coronary angiography [PDF]
In patients with obstructive coronary artery disease, the functional significance of a coronary artery stenosis needs to be determined to guide treatment. This is typically established through fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement, performed during invasive coronary angiography (ICA).
