Coronary Artery Bypass Graft
This interview centers on the artificial intelligence (AI) electrocardiogram (ECG)-derived age model. At the 40th European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS) Annual Meeting, CTSNet Associate Editor—Cardiac Defne Gunes Ergi, a cardiovascular surgeon based at the...
Off-pump totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass (TECAB) requires effective and reliable coronary stabilization. Although the Octopus Nuvo stabilizer has been used for this purpose, its positioning and adjustment may depend...

This video demonstrates the author’s technique for creating a Y-composite bilateral internal thoracic artery (BITA) conduit by performing an end-to-side anastomosis between the left and right internal thoracic arteries. The...
The authors present a case of left atrial tumor excision combined with mitral and tricuspid valve repair and coronary revascularization, performed through a left anterior minithoracotomy in the fourth intercostal...
This week on The Beat, CTSNet Editor-in-Chief Joel Dunning spoke with Jeffrey Velotta, Assistant Clinical Professor of Surgery at the University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine in San...
This single-center, single-arm prospective trial provides the first clinical safety and effectiveness data for the excimer laser-assisted non-occlusive anastomosis (ELANA) system in constructing the left internal thoracic artery (LITA)-to-left anterior...
This prospective cohort study evaluated whether cardiac troponin I measured in pericardial drainage fluid (PCF-cTnI) enhances risk stratification for postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). In...
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...
