Quadruple Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1976
In 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, 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 ...

Coronary artery bypass grafting in the elderly

American Heart Journal, 1997
Summary 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, 1997
The 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), 1996
Perioperative 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, 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.

Contemporary coronary artery bypass grafting

Frontiers of Medicine, 2014
Current 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 surgery: conventional coronary artery bypass grafting versus off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2005
Coronary revascularization has become the principal treatment modality in patients with severe coronary artery disease. The broader application of percutaneous coronary interventions in patients with multivessel disease and the recent introduction of drug-eluting stents have both lead to a decline in the number of patients referred for surgical ...
