Objectives Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common complication after off‐pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) and contributes to increased morbidity and prolonged hospital stays. Both myocardial ischemia and systemic inflammation play a critical role in its pathogenesis, which is closely related to the intensity of coronary ...

The effect of milrinone on the intraoperative hemodynamics during off-pump coronary bypass surgery in patients with an elevated echocardiographic index of the ventricular filling pressure [PDF]
BackgroundHemodynamic derangement during off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (OPCAB) is mainly attributed to impaired filling and diastolic dysfunction. An elevated ratio of the mitral velocity to the early-diastolic velocity of the mitral annulus (E/

Predictive Factors of Free Flap Volume Evolution in Head and Neck Reconstruction
Abstract Objective The aim of our study was to determine the factors influencing the evolution of the total volume and bone volume of free flaps commonly used in head and neck surgery, with a 30‐month prospective study, to establish volume change predictions and thus propose a degree of overcorrection to be expected before reconstruction.

Design of a Corrugated Vascular Graft with Enhanced Compliance and Kink Resistance
The development of a small‐diameter vascular graft for coronary artery bypass grafting necessitates a balance of key biomechanical properties to prevent failure. Adding a corrugated geometry to our electrospun polyurethane multilayer graft herein achieves superior compliance and kink resistance while maintaining sufficient suture retention and burst ...

Total Arterial Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: A 10-Year Experience
Background: Arterial grafts had better mid-term and long-term patency than saphenous vein grafts in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). We summarized our experience with total arterial off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) and assessed the

Coronary artery revascularization with microaxial flow pump support in patients with severely reduced left ventricular ejection fraction is an emerging technique in cardiac surgery. In this manuscript, we present early results, highlight the advantages, and discuss the key limitations of this approach.

Prevalence and Causes of Mediastinal Reexploration for Excessive Bleeding after Cardiac Surgery Procedures [PDF]
Introduction: Postoperative bleeding in cardiac surgery is not an uncommon complication and can be evaluated with surgical and nonsurgical causes. Although any type of coagulopathy should be treated before, during, and after the surgical procedure ...

The Impact of Hydrostatic Pressure on Fractional Flow Reserve in Saphenous Vein Grafts
ABSTRACT Background The relationship between height differences related to graft anatomy and physiological pressure indices in coronary bypass grafts has not been studied. We sought to study the impact of hydrostatic pressure on fractional flow reserve (FFR) in saphenous vein grafts (SVGs).
