Carotid shunt provides cerebral protection during emergency coronary artery bypass grafting in a patient with bilateral high grade carotid stenosis: a case report [PDF]
Background Management of patients with co-existent coronary and carotid disease is a controversial and challenging issue. The risk for stroke after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with hemodynamically significant carotid stenosis is up

Off-pump versus on-pump CABG: a comparison.
The off-pump technique reduces the complications of coronary artery bypass grafting performed with extracorporeal circulatory assistance. This hypothesis was tested by analyzing the results of 53 patients operated with and 48 without cardiopulmonary bypass by a single surgeon (ARR) from February 2001 to September 2001.The angiograms of all the patients

Modified Sleep Apnea Severity Index and Cardiovascular Risk in CPAP‐Intolerant OSA Patients
The modified sleep apnea severity index (mSASI) combines patient anatomy, weight, sleep study metrics, and symptoms into a composite OSA index ranging from 1 (least severe) to 3 (most severe). Our study found that mSASI correlated better with baseline cardiovascular risk measured by the 5‐year Framingham Risk Score compared to the AHI.

Exploratory Laparotomy After Routine Cardiac Surgery: Results From 17,000 Patients
Exploratory laparotomy is rare after open‐heart surgery, and it was performed for gastrointestinal complications that occurred in the context of other severe postoperative complications. Several factors were associated with the need for exlap, including increasing age, pre‐existing renal and vascular disease, and pre‐ and post‐operative shock. ABSTRACT

Comparison of the Plasma Metabolome Profiles Between the Internal Thoracic Artery and Ascending Aorta in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery Using Gas Chromatography Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry. [PDF]
BackgroundThe left internal thoracic artery (LITA) has been used as the first conduit of choice in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) because of excellent long-term patency and outcomes.

Renoprotection by remote ischemic conditioning during elective coronary revascularization: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) has been recognized an emerging non-invasive approach for preventing acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing either elective coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery or percutaneous coronary ...

Summary Introduction Pre‐operative anaemia is an established risk factor for mortality after cardiac surgery. The extent to which this risk is mediated by complications related to red blood cell transfusion remains uncertain, particularly across different age groups.
