Outcomes and risk factors associated with in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting with low ejection fraction

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Compared to the survival group, those in the mortality group exhibited significantly higher rates of exploratory thoracotomy, intra-aortic balloon pump usage, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation application, gastrointestinal bleeding incidents, and acute renal failure occurrences.

Case Report: Leaflet thrombosis after transcatheter valve-in-valve aortic valve replacement in prosthetic valve endocarditis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

A 70-year-old female patient with a history of bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement and coronary artery bypass graft presented with bioprosthetic valve failure secondary to prosthetic valve endocarditis. This resulted in early death due to myocardial infarction and acute heart failure.

Endothelial MICU1 protects against vascular inflammation and atherosclerosis by inhibiting mitochondrial calcium uptake

Journal of Clinical Investigation - Cardiology

Of clinical relevance, we observed decreased MICU1 expression in the endothelial layer covering human atherosclerotic plaques and in human aortic endothelial cells exposed to serum from patients with coronary artery diseases (CAD).

Predictors of atrial fibrillation post coronary artery bypass graft surgery: new scoring system

Open Heart

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) following coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) is common and results in significant increases in hospital stay and financial encumbrance. Objective Determine and use the predictors of postoperative AF (POAF) following CABG to develop a new predictive screening tool. ±33.9

Delayed management of acute type A aortic dissection with concomitant coronary artery bypass graft

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery

Pre-operative coronary angiography and concomitant, planned coronary artery bypass are infrequently performed with type A aortic dissection repair. We present a case in which pre-operative coronary computed to.

Impact of prior coronary artery bypass grafting and coronary lesion complexity on outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis

Coronary Artery Disease Journal

Objective To investigate the impact of prior coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and coronary lesion complexity on transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) outcomes for aortic stenosis. The median CABG SYNTAX score was 16 (interquartile range: 9.0–23),

Beating-Heart Coronary Artery Bypass grafting (BH-CABG) in patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD): comparison of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) predicted risk with actual outcomes

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery

End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is an independent risk factor in outcomes for traditional coronary artery bypass grafting (TRAD-CAB) utilizing aortic cross-clamping and cardioplegic arrest. In order to determin.
