Coronary Disease - Surgery
In this study, the authors performed a propensity matched analysis of hospital costs for robotic-assisted CABG vs. conventional CABG. 1,173 patients were included in the analysis from 2018 until 2021. Decision regarding intervention modality was...
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 examined the long-term survival of patients undergoing multiarterial grafting (MAG) versus single-arterial grafting (SAG) in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). After analyzing data from more than one million...
The benefits of early extubation in the operating room (OR) following cardiac surgery remain unproven. In this study, the authors evaluated perioperative outcomes after extubation in the OR versus extubation...
In this study, the authors performed a propensity matched analysis of hospital costs for robotic-assisted CABG vs. conventional CABG. 1,173 patients were included in the analysis from 2018 until 2021....
The bilateral internal mammary arteries technique for off-pump coronary artery bypass is a safe technique with long-term patency and low morbidity and mortality. The author usually uses total arterial myocardial...
Holm and colleagues evaluated perioperative bleeding after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients who were taking P2Y12 inhibitors. Patient outcomes from the European Multicenter Registry on Coronary Artery Bypass...
An interesting small British-led randomized controlled trial on modern imaging of coronary atheroma.
...Oliveira and colleagues retrospectively analyzed outcomes for 1,628 patients who underwent on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting at a single center in Brazil over a six-year period. They divided patients into...
Filmed at the 2019 STS Annual Meeting in San Diego, California, Patrick Myers of the Lausanne University Hospital in Switzerland moderates a discussion on the usage of arterial grafts in...
Given that acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery is a risk factor for readmission, Brown and colleagues sought to determine whether urinary biomarkers were better at predicting readmission within...
An intresting pilot that was stopped due to underrecruitment. Commendable mortality in high-risk coronary artery bypass grafting.
...Butt and colleagues examined the incidence and reasons for hospitalizations following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). This study was performed using a Danish nationwide registry including more than 30,000 patients....
