Coronary Artery Bypass Graft
This single-center retrospective study examined 418 intent-to-treat hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) patients undergoing robotic beating-heart totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass (TECAB) from 2013 to 2025, comparing those who completed planned percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with...
Anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery from the opposite sinus is uncommon, and an interarterial course of an anomalous right coronary artery (RCA) carries a recognized risk of ischemia...
This week on The Beat, CTSNet Editor-in-Chief Joel Dunning spoke with Taj Mohammed Fiyaz Chowdhry, a consultant thoracic surgeon at Burjeel Specialty Hospital, Sharjah, UAE, about uniportal robotics in the...
This single-center retrospective study examined 418 intent-to-treat hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) patients undergoing robotic beating-heart totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass (TECAB) from 2013 to 2025, comparing those who completed planned...
The patient was a 67-year-old man who was referred for surgical revascularization of coronary artery disease. Three months earlier, he had undergone emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to the right...
In this article, the authors describe the excimer laser assisted non-occlusive anastomosis (ELANA) anastomotic system for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), a distal anastomotic connector that enables the construction of...
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...
