Comparison of in-hospital outcomes after coronary artery bypass graft surgery in elders and younger patients: a multicenter retrospective study

open access: yesJournal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2023
Objectives We aimed to identify in-hospital outcomes in young (≤ 65 years) and old (> 65 years) patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) by analyzing the effect of age on adverse events after on-pump or off-pump CABG.

Heart Rate Variability after Off-Pump versus On-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery

open access: yesCardiology Research and Practice, 2009
Background. It is known that after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) heart rate variability (HRV) becomes significantly decreased with a gradual recovery in a few months after surgery.

Surgical revascularization on the beating heart in patients with low ejection fraction [PDF]

open access: yesSrpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2011
Introduction. The subset of patients most likely to benefit from off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) remains a controversial issue, but the technique has been proposed to decrease postoperative mortality and morbidity.

Aprotinin may increase mortality in low and intermediate risk but not in high risk cardiac surgical patients compared to tranexamic acid and ε-aminocaproic acid - a meta-analysis of randomised and observational trials of over 30.000 patients [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background: To compare the effect of aprotinin with the effect of lysine analogues (tranexamic acid and ε-aminocaproic acid) on early mortality in three subgroups of patients: low, intermediate and high risk of cardiac surgery.

Preoperative neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and outcome from coronary artery bypass grafting [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Background: An elevated preoperative white blood cell count has been associated with a worse outcome after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Leukocyte subtypes, and particularly the neutrophil-lymphocyte (N/L) ratio, may however, convey superior ...

Mid-term outcomes of off-pump versus on-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery; statistical challenges in comparison

open access: yesBMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2021
Background Despite several studies comparing off- and on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), the effectiveness and outcomes of off-pump CABG still remain uncertain.

Raman Microscopy at the Organic–Inorganic Interfaces in Human Calcified Aortic Valves Shows the Co‐Existence of Whitlockite Crystals and Carbonated Hydroxyapatite‐Mineralized Collagen Fibrils

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study advances our understanding of aortic valve stenosis by capturing spatially resolved chemical and structural changes at the nanoscale. The findings highlight the potential of combined Raman and electron microscopy for understanding calcification mechanisms across diverse tissue types.
