Utility of Cardiovascular CT in Ischemic Heart Disease
The aim of this study is to review the role of cardiac computed tomography angiography in various clinical settings, including primary prevention, acute chest pain, stable coronary syndrome, and the planning of PCI and CABG procedures. ABSTRACT Cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has acquired a pivotal role in modern cardiology.

Failed coronary artery bypass anastomosis detected by intraoperative coronary flow measurement [PDF]
Objectives: To assess intraoperative flow of arterial and venous coronary grafts after myocardial revascularization which may allow early detection of low flow situations, especially during minimally invasive coronary bypass surgery (MIDCAB), and lead to

Surgical outcome after isolated on-pump and off-pump anterior descending coronary revascularisation. [PDF]
PRINCIPLES: Anterior descending coronary revascularisation can be performed with or without cardiopulmonary bypass. We compared surgical outcomes and postoperative results of two groups of patients operated on for isolated anterior descending coronary ...

The Use of Normothermic Machine Perfusion for Staged Combined Heart–Liver Transplant
Introduction: For patients with cardiac cirrhosis, combined heart–liver transplant (CHLT) has been increasingly performed with improving outcomes. The standard heart‐then‐liver approach may increase ischemic times and postreperfusion syndrome (PRS) risk. Achieving adequate hemodynamic stability may also pose a challenge.

Is There a Need for Preoperative Imaging of the Internal Mammary Recipient Site for Autologous Breast Reconstruction? [PDF]
Preoperative imaging of recipient-site vasculatur in autologous breast reconstruction may potentiate improved outcomes through the identification of individual variations in vascular architecture.

Improved endothelial function after a modified harvesting technique of the internal thoracic artery [PDF]
Objective: One of the most important factors in bypass surgery is the preservation of endothelial function in the arterial graft. It was of interest, therefore, whether a slightly modified preparation procedure during surgery could contribute to improved

Cirugía coronaria. Evolución en la última década. Indicaciones y resultados actuales [PDF]
Coronary artery bypass surgery is endorsed by the excellent, well-documented, long-term results that follow complete revascularization and the use of 1 or 2 mammary artery grafts.

An Approach to Argumentation Schemes that Appeal to Expert Opinion [PDF]
Argumentation is a form of reasoning that deeply resembles the human mechanism for commonsense reasoning. An argumentation scheme is a representational tool for modeling common patterns of reasoning; in particular, it displays the form of an argument by ...
