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

Impact of competitive flow on wall shear stress in coronary surgery: computational fluid dynamics of a LIMA-LAD model [PDF]
, 2010 Competitive flow from native coronary vessels is considered a major factor in the failure of coronary bypass grafts. However, the pathophysiological effects are not fully understood.

Why do patients having coronary artery bypass grafts have different costs or length of stay? : An analysis across ten European countries [PDF]
, 2012 We analyse variations in costs or lengths of stay (LoS) for 66,587 patients from ten European countries receiving a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedure. In five of these countries, variations in cost are analysed using log-linear models. In the

Topical use of antifibrinolytic agents reduces postoperative bleeding: a double-blind, prospective, randomized study [PDF]
, 2007 Objective: Postoperative bleeding is still one of the most common complications of cardiac surgery. Antifibrinolytic agents successfully reduce bleeding, but there are controversies concerning adverse effects after their systemic use.
