Fast Fourier transform analysis of intraoperative transit-time flow measurement during coronary artery bypass grafting

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery

As the current guidelines on myocardial revascularization recommend, transit-time flow measurement (TTFM) is increasingly used for intraoperative graft flow analysis during coronary artery bypass grafting (CAB.

Analysis of cardiac arrest after coronary artery bypass grafting

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery

Cardiac arrest after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a serious complication with low survival rate. The prognosis of patients with cardiac arrest in the general ward is worse than that in the intensi.

Association between white blood cell count and coronary artery bypass graft failure: an individual patient data analysis of clinical trials

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery

Baseline systemic inflammation is associated with worse long-term outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting [CABG], but the mechanisms of this association are unclear. This study aims to explore the assoc.

Fractional flow reserve and instantaneous wave-free ratio in coronary artery bypass grafting: a meta-analysis and practice review

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Both indexes have been extensively validated in clinical trials in guiding revascularisation in patients with stable ischaemic heart disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with improved clinical outcomes. However, the role of these tools in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is less clear.

Preoperative D-dimer level predicts adverse events after coronary endarterectomy combined with coronary artery bypass grafting: a retrospective cohort study

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery

Little is known about the role of D-dimer (DD) on the prognosis of patients undergoing coronary endarterectomy (CE) combined with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
