Ulnar Artery as a Coronary Bypass Graft
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1998The ulnar artery has been used as a coronary bypass graft in 8 patients when it was deemed unsafe to harvest the radial artery after evaluation of the arterial circulation in the forearm and hand.The ulnar artery was removed from the lower three quarters of the forearm, along with its satellite veins.

Reoperative coronary artery bypass grafting
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1994In recent years reoperative coronary artery bypass surgery has become increasingly more commonplace. This article reviews the current status of this procedure with regard to patient population, risk factors, and long-term follow-up. Important aspects of the specific technical considerations involved in reoperative surgery are also reviewed and ...

Pharmacology of coronary artery bypass grafts
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1999Spasm of arterial and venous graft conduits can occur both during harvesting and after the graft is connected. Attempts to overcome spasm during harvesting by probing or hydraulic distension can cause structural damage to the graft, which may impair short- and long-term patency.

Quadruple Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1976In our last 150 consecutive revascularization operations, 30 patients (20%) have had 4 or more bypass grafts. One patient died after quadruple grafting (mortality, 3%). Twenty-two (75%) of the survivors have been rehabilitated to active work status and 25 (86%) were considered by their cardiologists to have improved function postoperatively by New York

Repeat Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Scandinavian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1991In 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 ...

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.

Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Patency
Seminars in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 1997The long-term success of myocardial revascularization depends on continued patency of the bypass conduit or the artery treated by angioplasty. Patency after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is determined by surgical factors, including the type of conduit used and by pharmacotherapy in the postoperative period.

Mini-Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Nursing Management (Springhouse), 1996Perioperative nursing has been impacted by a multitude of changes as medical technology continues its rapid advance. What may prove to be a major innovation in coronary artery bypass surgery is currently being performed in the United States, Europe and South America. Mini-coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a minimally invasive procedure in which

Hybrid Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Anesthesiology Clinics, 2008Owing 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.

Contemporary coronary artery bypass grafting
Frontiers of Medicine, 2014Current evidence clearly demonstrates that coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains the "gold standard" treatment for most patients with multivessel and left main stem disease. This article summarizes the relevant evidence basis demonstrating that CABG, in comparison to stenting, reduces mortality and subsequent myocardial infarction and the need
