The authors present a case of post-myocardial infarction ventricular pseudoaneurysm repair with mitral valve replacement and coronary revascularization performed through a minimally invasive left anterior minithoracotomy via the fourth intercostal space. Patient Information This case...
This international consensus document from the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), American College of Cardiology (ACC), American Heart Association (AHA), and World Heart Federation (WHF) updates myocardial infarction (MI) classification...
The authors present a case of post-myocardial infarction ventricular pseudoaneurysm repair with mitral valve replacement and coronary revascularization performed through a minimally invasive left anterior minithoracotomy via the fourth intercostal...
This single-center retrospective study evaluated whether stenosis in the intervening left anterior descending artery (iLAD), between the internal thoracic artery (ITA) anastomosis and diagonal bifurcation, affects ITA-LAD graft events after...
Across 252,408 angiograms performed by 40 interventional cardiologists in British Columbia (2010–2024), the proportion of patients referred for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) varied 13-fold (2.03 percent–26.4 percent) and was...
In this article, the authors report the 10-year final results of the NOBLE trial comparing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with newer generation drug–eluting stents vs coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)...
This article is part of CTSNet’s Guest Editor Series, Coronary Arterial Anomalies—Pediatric and Adult Congenital. CTSNet Senior Editor Dr. Sameh Said invited both pediatric and adult cardiac surgeons from around...
Surgeons at the West Virginia University Heart and Vascular Institute performed the world’s first combined robotic aortic valve replacement (AVR) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) through a single small...
Myocardial infarction due to coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are the primary treatment modalities...
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...
Many studies demonstrate the superiority of the bilateral internal thoracic artery (BITA) versus single internal thoracic artery (SITA) grafting technique when it comes to early and late survival and decreased...
At the 2023 International Coronary Congress, four surgeons presented their biggest mistakes in CABG surgery and how they went about fixing them. They emphasized the importance of surgeons sharing their...
In this case, a four-month-old infant presented with cardiogenic shock. He had previously undergone repair of coarctation of the aorta through left thoracotomy at one month old. An aortogram revealed...
