Hybrid Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Anesthesiology Clinics, 2008
Owing to the high prevalence of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease, treatment has proceeded along three separate paths: medical, surgical, and percutaneous intervention. Medical treatment is now routinely combined with both surgical treatment and percutaneous methods; however, the surgical and percutaneous routes are often viewed as in competition.

Repeat Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Scandinavian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1991
In 1981-1989 we performed repeat coronary artery bypass grafting on 42 men and 10 women (mean age 55 years) with angina pectoris recurring on average 27 months after the primary operation. The cause was occlusion or stenosis of vein grafts alone (59%) or in combination with progression of native coronary atherosclerosis (31%) or progression in the ...

Simple arterial graft holder for coronary artery bypass grafting

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1995
We describe a simple device for facilitating arterial graft anastomosis during coronary artery bypass grafting. This device can be constructed in seconds from an intravenous catheter. It helps the operator to make the first several stitches on the arterial graft heel, and also helps the assistant to hold the arterial graft easily.

Coronary artery bypass grafting with gastroepiploic artery composite graft

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2000
To achieve better results after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), arterial conduits are the first choice in multiple CABG for younger patients. We present here the early results of CABG with gastroepiploic artery (GEA) composite graft with free radial artery (RA) to revascularize right coronary artery or left circumflex artery in addition to ...

Role of Radial Artery Graft in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2005
The use of the radial artery (RA) as a coronary artery bypass graft has assumed a revival and thus a multitude of issues have arisen surrounding the routine and widespread use of this conduit in myocardial revascularization. There has been no uniformity regarding harvest techniques, assessment of the adequacy of hand collateral circulation, antispasm ...
