Abstract Background Elevated plasma free hemoglobin is associated with multi-organ injury. In this context, minimally invasive extracorporeal technologies represent a way to reduce this complication following cardiac surgery. Methods We..
Read MoreAbstract Background Cardiovascular outcomes are worse among individuals from areas with limited socioeconomic resources. This study evaluated the relationship between high socioeconomic deprivation and isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Ischemic stroke after coronary artery bypass (CABG) has been often linked to aortic manipulation during surgery. Objectives: The objective of the study was to estimate the rate of postoperative ischemic..
Read MoreAbstract Objective. Recent studies have shown that the red cell distribution width- (RDW-) to-platelet (PLT) count ratio (i.e., RPR) and the mean platelet volume (MPV)/PLT ratio (i.e. MPR) are more..
Read MoreCABG and innominate artery bypass in patient with 3 vessels disease and simultaneous origin of innominate artery stenosis bypassed with ringed goretex. Dr.Sam Zeraatian Nejad Davani, CEO of rockingham medical..
Read MoreAbstract Summary The antiplatelet agent ticagrelor has recently been found to have bactericidal activity, demonstrated in vitro and in an in vivo mouse model, which warrants further clinical investigations. The aim of..

Read MoreAbstract Importance It is uncertain whether coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is associated with cognitive decline in older adults compared with a nonsurgical method of coronary revascularization (percutaneous coronary intervention [PCI])...
Read MoreAbstract Objectives Postoperative delirium is a common neuropsychiatric syndrome after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). We aimed to assess and compare clinical outcomes of CABG patients with delirium with a..
Read MoreAbstract Background and Aim of the Study Many studies support that the no‐touch (NT) procedure can improve the patency rate of vein grafts. However, it is not clear that the..
Read MoreWe are presenting the case of minimally invasive repair of large left ventricle inferior pseudoaneurysm and concomitant CABG procedure. The patient was a 63-year-old man who presented with shortness of..
Read MoreAbstract Background In this study, the effects of pulsatile and non-pulsatile on-pump surgery (CABG) and off-pump CABG techniques on the were investigated. Methods Forty-five patients who planned to elective coronary artery bypass..
Read MoreAbstract Background Zero‐balance ultrafiltration (Z‐BUF) is considered a significant method during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), and has always received support regarding its key role in monitoring electrolyte abnormalities including potassium and..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with hyperlactatemia, which leads to adverse clinical outcomes. No study has examined the effect of different clamping techniques on postoperative hyperlactatemia (PHL). Thus,..
Read MoreCoronary artery bypass grafting could be performed simultaneously with minimally invasive mitral valve repair through the right minithoracotomy. Our experience in minimally invasive cardiac surgery allows us to perform 4..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Inflammation plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of many diseases as well as postoperative acute renal failure (ARF). Preoperative neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) values have a..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES Minimally invasive extracorporeal circuits (MiECCs) aim at the preservation of physiologic reserves, the impact of which is expected to be most evident in patients in whom these are..
Read MoreAbstract Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate whether aortic tension estimated by palpation and cardioplegia infusion line pressure provide results equivalent to those obtained with direct aortic..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives Pulmonary dysfunction is a recognized postoperative complication that may be linked to use of cardiopulmonary bypass. The off-pump technique of coronary artery bypass aims to avoid some of..
Read MoreAbstract Background and Aims: Cardiopulmonary bypass induces a systematic inflammatory response, which is partly understood by investigation of peripheral blood cytokine levels alone; the lungs may interfere with the net..
Read MoreAbstract A best evidence topic was written according to a structured protocol. The question addressed was whether on-pump beating heart coronary artery bypass (BH-ONCAB) surgery has a different outcome profile..
Read MoreAbstract A best evidence topic in cardiac surgery was written according to a structured protocol. The question addressed was whether beating-heart on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (BH-ONCAB) offered superior mortality..
Read MoreAbstract Background Open heart surgeries under cardiopulmonary bypass are associated with excessive perioperative bleeding that often requires reoperation. Antifibrinolytics like epsilon aminocaproic acid and tranexamic acid are widely used to..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction: Propofol has been suggested as a useful adjunct to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) because of its potential protective effect on the heart mediated by a decrease in ischemia-reperfusion injury..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Saline-based and hydroxyethyl starch solutions are associated with increased risk of renal dysfunction. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that balanced solutions and a limited volume..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction: The cardiopulmonary bypass may have multiple systemic effects on the body organs as liver. This prospective study was planned to explore further the incidence and significance of this..
Read MoreAbstract This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of continuing versus stopping aspirin [acetylsalicylic acid (ASA)] preoperatively in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL/Cochrane..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES We tested the possible value of routine aggregometry testing for bleeding prediction following coronary artery bypass grafting in patients who received preoperative double antiplatelet therapy. METHODS In 226..
Read MoreAbstract BACKGROUND: Declining platelet counts may reveal platelet activation and aggregation in a postoperative prothrombotic state. Therefore, we hypothesized that nadir platelet counts after on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)..
Read MoreAbstract Objective To determine the impact of different strategies on the incidence of cerebral embolic events during (CABG). Methods Between 2012 and 2015, 142 patients with low-grade (epiaortic ultrasound grade I/II) undergoing primary..
