Coronary Artery Bypass Graft
This week on The Beat, CTSNet Editor-in-Chief Joel Dunning spoke with Dr. Aamir Amin, a cardiothoracic surgery resident at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, UK, about humanoid robots and artificial intelligence (AI) in surgery. Dr....
This retrospective Medicare analysis assessed whether multiarterial grafting (MAG) improves survival after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) compared with single arterial grafting (SAG), accounting for unmeasured confounding using surgeon MAG...

This ex vivo study examined human internal thoracic artery (ITA) rings from 94 coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients to assess whether perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT), preserved in pedicled but...
In this article, the authors performed a meta-analysis of 13 studies comprising 9,899 coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients, comparing free right internal mammary artery (RIMA) (n = 3,095) vs...
In this pre-specified analysis of the EXCEL trial, 1,882 patients with left main disease underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (n=952) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) (n=930). At five years,...
This study evaluated patients with previous coronary artery bypass grafting and found that 27.2 percent had fractured sternal wires, with significant risk factors including higher body mass index, male sex,...
This article examines the feasibility and technique of lung resection after prior coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), focusing on resections ipsilateral to an internal thoracic artery graft. Among 5,821 pulmonary...
In this randomized trial of 300 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery, endoscopic radial artery harvest was compared with open harvest. At three months, mean Hand Function Questionnaire scores were...
This first-in-human case report describes ventriculo-coronary transcatheter outward navigation and reentry (VECTOR), a novel percutaneous aorto-coronary bypass technique to prevent coronary obstruction during transcatheter aortic valve replacement. A 67-year-old man...
In this article, the authors evaluated whether an artificial intelligence (AI) electrocardiogram (ECG)-derived age can improve risk stratification in patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Using preoperative ECGs...
This 10-year, single-center, propensity-matched study compared the outcomes of resident-led operations with those of consultant-led operations at a high-volume UK center. This study investigated index adult cardiac surgical procedures as...
