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.

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.

Radial-Artery Grafts for Coronary-Artery Bypass Surgery
New England Journal of Medicine, 2018Gaudino et al. (2018 May 31 issue of NEJM) report a lower risk of the composite of death, myocardial infarction, or repeat revascularization with radial-artery graft than with saphenous-vein graft revascularization during coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG).

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Retractor for coronary artery bypass grafting
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1996A retractor is presented with features to enhance operative exposure for coronary artery bypass grafting while minimizing sternal and peripheral nerve injuries. The design is aimed at enhancing exposure while minimizing incision size.

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
