Surgical ablation during coronary artery bypass grafting by linked to improved survival in patients

Medical Xpress - Cardiology

A new study published in The Annals of Thoracic Surgery,, finds that Medicare patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who undergo surgical ablation during isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) live longer than those who do not, offering compelling support for clinical guidelines that recommend this procedure but are too often not followed (..)

A rare case of coronary artery bypass grafting in pediatric cardiac surgery: emphasizing the importance of internal thoracic artery usage

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is an exceedingly rare procedure in pediatric cardiac surgery, primarily due to the low incidence of coronary artery disease in this population. However, when indicated,

Deep learning-based prediction model of acute kidney injury following coronary artery bypass grafting in coronary heart disease patients: a multicenter clinical study from China

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

IntroductionOff-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) is an alternative to traditional coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), which avoids cardiopulmonary bypass.

Comparing 3-month and 1-year patency rates of no-touch great saphenous vein and pedicled left internal mammary artery in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting: a prospective non-inferiority study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

ObjectiveIn this study, we compared the 3- and 12-month patency rates of great saphenous vein (GSV) grafts harvested using the no-touch technique and pedicled left internal mammary artery (LIMA) in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG).

The impact of clopidogrel combined with aspirin or aspirin alone on prognosis and adverse events in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting in the first month after surgery

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundCoronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was a critical intervention for patients with obstructive coronary artery disease, yet managing thrombotic complications post-surgery remains challenging.

The correlation between severe asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis and severe multi-organ dysfunction after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundThe current research aimed to demonstrate the independent association between preoperative severe asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis (ACAS) and severe multi-organ dysfunction after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB), which may further indicate the relationship between severe ACAS and adverse 30-day postoperative outcomes of (..)
