Microaxial pump‐supported coronary surgery without CPB to optimize outcome in severely impaired left ventricles

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is the standard approach for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in advanced ischaemic cardiomyopathy. Microaxial pump support has been envisioned to allow for beating‐heart CABG without CPB (MPCAB), thereby avoiding CPB‐inherent complications.

Preoperative Anemia Management in Adult Outpatient Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgical Patients to Improve Treatment of Preoperative Anemia [PDF]

, 2019
The transfusion of blood products can lead to life-threatening complications after surgery. In addition, blood products are a scarce and expensive resource. Even though anemia in coronary artery bypass surgery patients is currently undertreated, research

Sudden cardiac death in patients with ischemic heart failure undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting results from the STICH randomized clinical trial (Surgical Treatment for Ischemic Heart Failure) [PDF]

, 2017
Background—The risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with heart failure following CABG has not been examined in a contemporary clinical trial of surgical revascularization. This analysis describes the incidence, timing and clinical predictors of

Endoscopic versus open vein-graft harvesting in coronary-artery bypass surgery.

New England Journal of Medicine, 2009
BACKGROUND Vein-graft harvesting with the use of endoscopy (endoscopic harvesting) is a technique that is widely used to reduce postoperative wound complications after coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG), but the long-term effects on the rate of vein ...

Signs of congestion, quality of life and short‐term rehospitalization in patients with heart failure

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Signs of congestion are a treatment target in patients with heart failure (HF), as they affect patients' well‐being, and congestion scores are associated with the risk of early readmission. However, which individual sign of congestion has the strongest association with quality of life (QoL) and HF rehospitalization remains uncertain ...

Carotid cavernous fistula in a patient with coronary artery disease [PDF]

, 2011
Carotid cavernous fistulas are abnormal communications between the carotid and cavernous vasculature, with potential for serious neurological and ocular sequelae. There is considerable literature on the neuro-radiological management of carotico-cavernous

Neurocognitive dysfunction after coronary artery bypass surgery: a systematic review.

Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2000
OBJECTIVE Substantial, albeit scattered, evidence suggests that coronary artery bypass grafting may impair cognitive function. As methods and definitions differ greatly across studies, the reported incidence of cognitive decline after coronary bypass ...

Right atrial remodelling and prognosis in patients with severe atrial functional tricuspid regurgitation

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Atrial functional tricuspid regurgitation (AFTR) is increasingly recognized as a distinct cause of tricuspid regurgitation, yet data on outcomes and their determinants are limited. This study examines the prognostic role of right atrial (RA) remodelling in patients with severe AFTR.

Near-fatal kinking of mammary graft due to emphysematous lung disease

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2018
Left internal mammary artery grafting is commonly used in elective coronary artery bypass graft surgery. We report a near-fatal case with graft kinking upon sternal closure due to distended, emphysematous lungs impinging on the mammary graft.
