Jun 12th, 2021 - To compare coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for revascularizing coronary arteries in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). CKD is described as a continuous...

Jun 10th, 2021 - The prognostic value of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) in complex coronary artery disease has not been fully established. We aimed to determine the association between hsCRP and long-term outcomes in elderly patients with 3-vessel dis...

Jun 8th, 2021 - To assess the efficacy of preoperative bilateral paravertebral block (PVB) with general anesthesia (GA) in contributing to early extubation and decreasing opioid consumption in cardiac surgery. A propensity score-matched retrospective study. A sin...

Jun 8th, 2021 - Variability in transfusion outcomes and excessive postoperative bleeding represents a significant problem in cardiac surgery. The effort to reduce bleeding complications and transfusion outcomes is desirable. Our study investigated the feasibility...

Jun 8th, 2021 - Multiple studies have shown a decrease in the inflammatory response with minimized bypass circuits leading to less complications and mortality rate. On the other hand, some other studies showed that there is no difference in post-operative outcome...

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...

Jun 12th, 2021 - To compare coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for revascularizing coronary arteries in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). CKD is described as a continuous...

Jun 2nd, 2021 - A study using data from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) shows no significant difference between coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) vs percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and subsequent memory decline over 5 years among older patient...

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 ...
