Although the long-term survival advantage of multiple arterial grafting (MAG) vs standard use left internal thoracic artery (LITA) supplemented by saphenous vein grafts (LITA+SVG) has been demonstrated in several observational studies, to our knowledge its safety and other clinical benefits a large, population-based cohort are unknown.To compare outcomes MAG LITA+SVG among overall selected subgroups patients.In this study, we included 20 076 adult patients with triple-vessel or left-main...
To explore the computed tomography (CT) imaging characteristics and BPF algorithm fine lung CT image efficiency for diagnosis of pelvic fracture patients assist clinicians to carry out disease care treatment, images based on optimized back-projection filtering (BPF) were utilized diagnose postoperative reduction fractures penetrating infection caused by long-term bed rest. A total 100 with selected all them underwent surgery rolled into conventional group (conventional group) (BPF group)....
Background: Differences in the management of coronary artery disease have previously been found to be partly attributable non-clinical factors, but there few studies examining this issue Canada. Variation revascularization rates across regions province British Columbia (BC) has observed not studied. The BC Cardiac Registry allows a unique opportunity explore factors that contribute variation and associated clinical outcomes. Methods: All residents aged 20 years older who received diagnostic...
BackgroundHistorically, quality-of-care monitoring was performed separately for transcatheter and surgical aortic valve replacement (TAVR, SAVR). Using consensus indicators, we provide a global report on the quality of care treatment stenosis across highest-volume treatments: transfemoral (TF) TAVR, isolated SAVR, SAVR combined with coronary artery bypass graft.MethodsRetrospective observational cohort study consecutive patients in regional system care. Primary endpoint 30-day 1-year...
Background: The value of routine aminoterminal pro type B natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) measurements in outpatient clinics remains unknown. Objectives: We sought to determine the accuracy with which heart failure (HF) specialists can predict NT-proBNP levels HF outpatients based on clinical assessment. Methods: prospectively studied 160 consecutive patients followed an multidisciplinary clinic. During a regular office visit, were asked estimate patient’s current level upon their assessment...
Objective(s): Studies suggest that early revascularization following an AMI is equally important in both genders. We examined coronary (PCI or CABG) rates men and women AMI. Methods: studied a cohort of 7 728 patients >20 years with admission between January 1, 1999, September 30, 2002 who underwent catheterization within 90 days their index Demographic, clinical, procedural data were obtained from the British Columbia (BC) Cardiac Registry, prospective registry all cardiac procedures...
