Jan 14th, 2021 - Controversy still exists as to whether surgical treatment has any impact on the long-term survival of esophageal cancer (EC) patients with coronary artery disease treated with curative esophagectomy combined with off-pump coronary artery bypass gr...

Jan 14th, 2021 - Among patients receiving surgical bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement (bAVR), there is an elevated risk of thromboembolic events postoperatively. However, the risks and benefits of varying anticoagulation strategies remain controversial. The ai...

Jan 14th, 2021 - Background In chronic coronary syndromes, myocardial ischemia is associated with a greater risk of death and nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI). We sought to compare the effect of initial revascularization with percutaneous coronary intervention ...

Jan 13th, 2021 - Post-infarction left ventricular remodeling is associated with increased mortality in patients with ischemic heart disease. Surgical ventricular reconstruction (SVR) in addition to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been proposed to reduce...

Jan 13th, 2021 - This study sought to compare clinical outcomes between three categories of patients: non-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), diagnosed COPD and undiagnosed COPD in coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. A single-centred retrospective s...

Aug 31st, 2017 - Exercise stress testing is a validated diagnostic test for coronary artery disease in symptomatic patients, and is used in the evaluation of patients with known cardiac disease. Testing of asymptomatic patients is generally not indicated. It may b...

Dec 18th, 2015 - Internal thoracic arteries (ITAs) should be used to bypass the left anterior descending (LAD) artery when bypass of the LAD is indicated (class of recommendation [COR] I, level of evidence [LOE] B). As an adjunct to left internal thoracic artery (...

Aug 27th, 2013 - The initial 2010 Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) Guidelines for the Use of Antiplatelet Therapy in the Outpatient Setting were published in May 2011. As part of a planned re-evaluation within 2 years, we conducted an extensive literature sea...

Jul 30th, 2013 - Numerous definitions have been proposed for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI) after coronary revascularization. The universal definition for MI designates post procedural biomarker thresholds for defining percutaneous coronary interventi...

Mar 20th, 2012 - Refractory angina (RFA) is a debilitating disease characterized by cardiac pain resistant to conventional treatments for coronary artery disease including nitrates, calcium-channel and β-adrenoceptor blockade, vasculoprotective agents, percutaneou...

Jan 14th, 2021 - Controversy still exists as to whether surgical treatment has any impact on the long-term survival of esophageal cancer (EC) patients with coronary artery disease treated with curative esophagectomy combined with off-pump coronary artery bypass gr...

Jan 13th, 2021 - Intraoperative injection of calcium chloride into the four major atrial ganglionated plexi (GPs) reduced the incidence of early postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery...

Dec 22nd, 2020 - A new study shows sex differences in mortality rates among patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The researchers found that 7 years after a CABG procedure mortality was lower in men, but not in women, who had undergone multip...

Aug 18th, 2020 - The beneficial effect on all-cause mortality of coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG) observed at 4 and 5 years in women with complex coronary disease seen in the SYNTAX trial is gone at 10 years. If anything, the results suggest a mortal...

Jul 28th, 2020 - After months of denying the data exist, investigators of the controversial EXCEL trial published an analysis of the universal definition of myocardial infarction that they failed to include in previous journal publications from the study. The new ...
