A Case Report of Coronary-Subclavian Steal Syndrome Treated with Carotid to Axillary Artery Bypass

Case Reports in Medicine, 2009
Coronary-subclavian steal syndrome results from atherosclerotic disease of the proximal subclavian artery causing reversal of flow in an internal mammary artery used as conduit for coronary artery bypass.

Coronary artery bypass without cardioplegia

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1987
Cardioplegic myocardial protection has become the standard for coronary artery bypass. In contrast, we report 500 consecutive coronary artery bypass operations with intermittent aortic clamping for distal anastomoses, left ventricular venting, and 30 degrees C hypothermia. Average patient age was 62 years (range of 30 to 89 years).

Biomaterial design strategies for enhancing mitochondrial transplantation therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Biomaterials to facilitate mitochondrial transplantation therapy: biomaterials as barriers to protect mitochondria from pathophysiological microenvironments, like osmotic stress caused by the excessive concentration of calcium ion, reactive oxygen species, and advanced glycation end products; biomaterials integrating with biochemical cues to improve ...

Levosimendan for patients with severely reduced left ventricular systolic function and/or low cardiac output syndrome undergoing cardiac surgery. a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Previous studies have shown beneficial effects of levosimendan in high-risk patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Two large randomized controlled trials (RCTs), however, showed no advantages of levosimendan.

Redo coronary artery bypass grafting

Indian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2018
Redo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) can be one of the most technically challenging operations in cardiac surgery. The coronary disease is more advanced, and the coronary targets may be suboptimal. In addition, the patients are typically older and sicker compared to those undergoing primary CABG.A literature review focused on the epidemiology ...

A Meta‐Analysis and Simplified Nomenclature for Diagonal Coronary Artery and Ramus Intermedius Across Adult and Pediatric Hearts

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anatomical descriptions of left‐sided oblique coronary branches remain inconsistent, hindering imaging interpretation and surgical planning. To quantify the prevalence, branching patterns and morphometry of the ramus intermedius (RI) and diagonal branches, and propose a unified nomenclature.

Intermediate-Term Risk of Stroke Following Cardiac Procedures in a Nationally Representative Data Set. [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: Studies on stroke risk following cardiac procedures addressed only perioperative and long-term risk following limited higher-risk procedures, were poorly generalizable, and often failed to stratify by stroke type. We calculated stroke risk in

New Technologies in Coronary Artery Surgery

Rambam Maimonides Medical Journal, 2013
Coronary artery disease remains the leading cause of death in developed countries. Major recent studies such as SYNTAX and FREEDOM have confirmed that coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains the gold standard treatment in terms of survival and ...

OCT‐Guided Distal Left Main Bifurcation PCI: Mid‐Term Outcomes From a Multicenter South‐Asian Registry

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Optical coherence tomography (OCT)‐guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) enhances treatment of complex coronary artery lesions, including left main (LM) disease, by enabling lesion morphology assessment and stent optimization, thereby reducing major adverse cardiac events (MACE).
