Patients with obstructive left main coronary artery disease are usually treated coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG). Randomized trials have suggested that drug-eluting stents may be an acceptable alternative to CABG in selected patients disease.
Long-term outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with contemporary drug-eluting stents, as compared coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG), in patients left main artery disease are not clearly established.
Multiple arterial grafts may result in longer survival than single after coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. We evaluated the use of bilateral internal-thoracic-artery for CABG.
Postoperative atrial arrhythmias are common and associated with considerable morbidity. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy safety of vernakalant for conversion fibrillation (AF) or flutter (AFL) after cardiac surgery.This a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial AF AFL coronary artery bypass graft, valvular surgery, both. Patients were randomly assigned 2:1 receive 10-minute infusion 3 mg/kg placebo. If present 15-minute observation period, then second...
Postoperative atrial fibrillation (pAF) after coronary artery bypass grafting is a common complication. Whether pAF associated with an increased risk of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) remains uncertain. We investigated the association between and long-term CVA by performing post hoc analysis 10-year outcomes ART (Arterial Revascularization Trial).For present analysis, among patients enrolled in (n=3102), we excluded those who did not undergo surgery (n=25), had history (n=45), or no...
<h3>Importance</h3> Recent evidence has suggested that skeletonization of the internal thoracic artery (ITA) is associated with worse clinical outcomes in patients undergoing coronary bypass surgery (CABG). <h3>Objective</h3> To compare long-term skeletonized and pedicled ITA for CABG. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> The Arterial Revascularization Trial (ART) was a 2-group, multicenter trial comparing use bilateral vs single CABG at 10 years. Patients ART were stratified by harvesting...
Aortic valve replacement (AVR) is the established treatment for severe aortic stenosis. In response to long-term results of homografts, stentless porcine valves were introduced as an alternative low-resistance valve. We conducted a randomized trial comparing with stented in adults stenosis.The primary outcome was change left ventricular mass index (LVMI) measured by transthoracic echocardiography and, subset, cardiovascular MR. Measurements taken before and at 6 12 months. Patients...
The Surgical Treatment for Ischemic Heart Failure (STICH) trial demonstrated no overall benefit when surgical ventricular reconstruction (SVR) was added to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy. present analysis determine whether, based on baseline left (LV) function parameters, any subgroups could be identified that benefited from SVR. Among the 1000 enrolled, Core Lab measures of LV adequate quality were obtained 710 using echocardiography, 352...
Objective: Troponin T is a unique marker which might be particularly useful in assessing myocardial cell damage patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The aim of the study was comparison between intra-operative release troponin (TnT) during three different protection strategies. Methods: Thirty-eight PTS revascularization were randomised into 3 groups whom procedure performed with intermittent cross-clamp (Group I; n=13), beating-heart on pump without aortic II; n=12), use extracorporeal...
Background . Previous reports provided inconsistent data on the occurrence of postoperative delirium and emphasized its considerable impact outcome. This study sought to evaluate incidence predictors delirium, together with relation cerebral ischemia in a large cohort cardiac surgery patients tertiary high-volume center.

Health-related quality of life (QoL) is an acknowledged index treatment effectiveness. There are several methods its evaluation which predisposed to different risk bias.To investigate the agreement between objective and subjective tools QoL assessment in patients who underwent endoscopic atraumatic coronary artery bypass (EACAB) grafting.This prospective observational study covered 705 consecutive EACAB April 1998 December 2010. Quality was assessed a follow-up 2132 ±1313 days among 482...
The very long-term mortality of off-pump and on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) versus percutaneous intervention (PCI) in a randomized complex disease population is unknown. This study aims to investigate the impact CABG PCI on 10-year all-cause mortality.The SYNTAX trial 1800 patients with three-vessel and/or left main or assessed their survival at 10 years. In this sub-study, hazard over years was compared according technique revascularization: (n = 725), 128) 903).There...
