Jun 4th, 2020 - Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is associated with poor outcomes following cardiac surgery. Guidelines recommend correction of severe TR in patients undergoing left sided valve surgery but not coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). We sought to eval...

Jun 2nd, 2020 - Cardiac rehabilitation is a medically supervised program after coronary events that involves exercise and dietary modification. We evaluated the comparative benefits and harms of cardiac rehabilitation strategies via a network meta-analysis. We fo...

Jun 2nd, 2020 - Preventive intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) for high-risk patients with stable hemodynamics is controversial, and its definition of high-risk is still unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effect of prophylactic IABP on the early outcome of...

Jun 1st, 2020 - This study investigated the efficacy of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in treatment of patients with syphilitic coronary artery ostial lesions (SCAOL).Sixty SCAOL patients were divided into two ...

May 31st, 2020 - Our goal was to analyse a consecutive series of patients with solid organ tumours undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) by defining the risk factors for early and long-term outcomes. Between 2005 and 2016, a consecutive series of 4079 ...

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...

Apr 6th, 2020 - Coronary bypass surgery patients who received a radial artery as their second bypass conduit had significantly better 10-year survival than did patients who received a saphenous vein graft in a combined analysis of more than 1,000 randomized patie...

Feb 18th, 2020 - Over the 13-year period ending in 2016, revascularization procedural volumes have dropped by half, although the percentage of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures done for myocardial infarction (MI) have more than doubled, a new adm...

Jan 1st, 2020 - UPDATED January 8, 2020 // Five-year findings from the NOBLE trial demonstrate that percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is not as effective as coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in reducing the risk of death, myocardial infarction, repeat...

Nov 7th, 2019 - The heated debate over the 5-year results of a trial comparing stents and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery in patients with left main coronary disease deserves mention not only because we want to know the best way to treat patients b...

Sep 29th, 2019 - SAN FRANCISCO — Five-year outcomes from a major randomized trial provide at least a partial answer to whether coronary stenting for left main (LM) disease may be better than coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), or vice versa, for preventing ser...
