Fast Fourier transform analysis of intraoperative transit-time flow measurement during coronary artery bypass grafting

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery

As the current guidelines on myocardial revascularization recommend, transit-time flow measurement (TTFM) is increasingly used for intraoperative graft flow analysis during coronary artery bypass grafting (CAB.

Analysis of cardiac arrest after coronary artery bypass grafting

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery

Cardiac arrest after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a serious complication with low survival rate. The prognosis of patients with cardiac arrest in the general ward is worse than that in the intensi.

Fractional flow reserve and instantaneous wave-free ratio in coronary artery bypass grafting: a meta-analysis and practice review

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Both indexes have been extensively validated in clinical trials in guiding revascularisation in patients with stable ischaemic heart disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with improved clinical outcomes. However, the role of these tools in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is less clear.

Coronary artery bypass grafting in dialysis patients: a propensity score-matched analysis

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery

Patients undergoing dialysis treatment have long been recognized as having an elevated risk of developing coronary artery disease necessitating coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). However, the prognostic i.
