Coronary Artery Bypass in Totally Obstructed Major Coronary Arteries
Archives of Surgery, 1971Of 278 patients undergoing aorto-coronary artery bypass grafts through July 1970, a total of 167 (62.2%) had 220 complete occlusions of one or more major coronary arteries. The right coronary artery (RCA) was occluded in 61%, the left anterior descending (LAD) in 28%, the left circumflex (LCA) in 10%, and the left main (LM) in less than 1%.

Abstract Surgical coronary revascularization is state-of-the-art therapy for cardiac ischemia. Even with scientific and procedural developments that narrow the gap between surgical and percutaneous revascularization strategies, surgical revascularization continues to demonstrate superior durability and greater long-term cost ...

Coronary artery bypass grafting to a calcified right coronary artery
The Japanese Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2002A severely calcified coronary artery demands a special technique in coronary artery bypass surgery. We have successfully developed a "punch-out" technique for a calcified right coronary artery in a dialysis patient. After an incision into the target coronary artery, the calcified arterial wall was resected using a punch to make an oval hole for ...

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2005
Coronary revascularization has become the principal treatment modality in patients with severe coronary artery disease. The broader application of percutaneous coronary interventions in patients with multivessel disease and the recent introduction of drug-eluting stents have both lead to a decline in the number of patients referred for surgical ...

Coronary artery bypass grafting in the elderly
American Heart Journal, 1997Summary Although common sense still dictates caution when prescribing bypass surgery in elderly patients, the use of this procedure is increasing. With greater experience, outcomes from surgery in the elderly have significantly improved over time despite higher preoperative risk profiles.

Robotic coronary artery bypass grafting
Journal of Robotic Surgery, 2010Robotically assisted surgery enables coronary surgery to be performed totally or partially endoscopically. Using the Da Vinci robotic technology allows minimally invasive treatments. We report on our experience with coronary artery surgery in our department: patients requiring single or double vessel surgical revascularization were eligible.

Psychologic Response to Coronary Artery Bypass
Southern Medical Journal, 1977This study reports the psychologic findings in 30 patients undergoing this operation. Approximately one third developed postcardiotomy delirium, an occurrence consistent with that after other forms of open-heart surgery. Acceptance of the operation as opposed to preoperative anxiety, depression or denial, adequate comprehension of the proposed ...

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in the Elderly
Chest, 2000The incidence of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in elderly patients has been increasing. We retrospectively analyzed the results of CABG performed at Shin-Tokyo Hospital between January 1, 1991, and December 31, 1998. Preoperative, perioperative, and follow-up data of patients > or = 75 years old (group E, n = 190) were collected, and compared ...

Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery in Nonagenarians
Angiology, 1999As the number of nonagenarians increases yearly in the United States, surgeons will be asked more often to evaluate the possibility of intervention for coronary artery disease in this age group. The purpose of this study is to document experience with patients 90 years of age or older in order to determine whether coronary artery bypass grafting ...

Redo coronary artery bypass grafting
General Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2014Redo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is more challenging than primary CABG in many aspects. Patients who undergo redo CABG are older, more comorbid, and with more sclerotic coronary and noncardiac arteries than seen in primary CABG. Operative procedures are more complicated, reentry of the sternum is sometimes problematic, and dissection of the ...
