We first identified all patients in the STS Adult Cardiac Surgery Database (STS ACSD) who underwent AVR + CABG procedures during two periods: July 1, 2009, through June 30, 2012 (3 years) and July 1, 2007, through June 30, 2012 (5 years). All operations were subsequently included excep...
During off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery, the heart is still beating while the graft attachments are made to bypass a blockage.While performing on-pump CABG surgery, the heart is stopped and aheart-lung machinetakes over the work for the heart and lungs.This method has been an e...
ObjectiveTo analyze the relationship between corrected Tp-e interval(Tp-ec), Tp-e/QT ratio and the degree of vein bridge vessel stenosis after coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG) in patients with left main coronary artery stenosis, and its predictive value for malignant electrophysiological events...
Methods A retrospective study of 744 patients without prior history of AF who underwent CABG (n = 513), OPCAB (n = 207), and/or AVR (n = 156) at...doi:10.1111/aas.12782Helgadottir, S.Sigurdsson, M. I.Palsson, R.Helgason, D....
commonly used devices in aortic valve replacement (AVR) [1]. Both mechanical valves and bioprostheses have their inherent advantages and disadvantages [2] and the choice between these devices for an individual patient remains difficult. The choice may be further complicated by the ...
Aortic valve replacement at the time of coronary bypass surgery is also associated with a significantly lower need for reoperation for AVR. Avoiding a second surgery has advantages in terms of morbidity and mortality, and may have overall cost advantages as well. The difficulty in accurately ...
