Coronary Artery Bypass Graft
This week on The Beat, CTSNet Editor-in-Chief Joel Dunning spoke with Dr. Ahmed Ghazy, Head of Minimally Invasive Surgery at Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz, Germany, about robotic cardiac surgery adoption and training. Dr. Ghazy...
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 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...

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...
This propensity score-matched cohort study compared long-term outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) vs coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in 2,033 matched pairs of women with chronic severe coronary artery...
The PROCTOR trial randomized 220 post-coronary artery bypass grafting patients with saphenous vein graft (SVG) failure to native vessel percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (n=108) or SVG PCI (n=112). At one-year,...
This meta-analysis of eight randomized clinical trials (RCT) compared no-touch (NT) vs conventional (CON) saphenous vein (SV) harvesting in coronary bypass surgery. At a 3.7-year follow-up, NT-SV harvesting showed significantly...
This international EACTS-endorsed survey assessed current practices and sought consensus on defining periprocedural myocardial infarction (PMI) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Among 175 respondents from 29 countries, 46.4 percent...
In this article, the authors analyzed 6,693 redo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) operations performed between 1980 and 2020 at the Cleveland Clinic to determine whether multiarterial grafting (MAG) provides...
An analysis of 10 trials involving more than 10,000 patients with non-acute heart disease compared outcomes for three treatment strategies: optimal medical therapy (OMT), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with OMT,...
The authors conducted a randomized study involving 40 patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) to compare techniques for preparing internal thoracic arteries. They found that skeletonized grafts showed...
In this article, the author reflects on 60 years of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), outlining its origins, the role of early surgical-cardiology collaboration, and its place alongside advances in...
