Coronary artery bypass grafting in octogenarians
Cardiovascular Surgery, 2001Preoperative profiles, postoperative complications, and the early and late results in 32 patients 80 yrs of age and older (elderly group) who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting were compared with those in patients under 80 yrs of age (control group). In the elderly group, the prevalence of patients with preoperative creatinine clearance (Ccr.) &

Coronary artery bypass graft surgery
2015The surgical management of acute coronary syndrome still remains a challenge for the cardiac surgeon. Although most patients can be managed by percutaneous coronary intervention, for patients with complex multivessel or left main coronary artery disease (high SYNTAX score), in whom percutaneous coronary intervention is not possible or is unsuccessful ...

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 ...

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
2020Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery is the standard treatment method of advanced coronary artery disease. In the past, invasive coronary angiography was used to assess the status of the grafts and check out if the graft was occluded. Recently, multidetector computed tomography (CT) with electrocardiographic (ECG) gating has become an ...

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Cardiac tissue, or heart muscle, relies on blood supply from coronary arteries for oxygen and nutrient delivery. When the coronary arteries are narrowed, or blocked, restoration of blood flow is essential for preservation of heart tissue and avoidance of myocardial ...

Conduits in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2013Modern cardiac practice in the United States is conservative when it comes to using bilateral internal mammary or radial artery grafts in coronary artery bypass surgery. Here, we examine the evidence regarding using other arterial grafts instead of veins as a complement to left internal mammary artery in surgical revascularization.

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.

Hybrid Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting [PDF]
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.

This chapter provides practical information for optimizing scanning of coronary artery bypass grafts and reading the images. Reading the images is best done on axial and multiplanar reformations and should include the evaluation of graft anastomoses and run-offs as well as the native vessels. The thoracic aorta and cardiac function should be considered
