Comparison of multiple arterial grafts vs. single arterial graft in coronary artery bypass surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Observational studies and randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have yielded conflicting results regarding the outcomes of multiple arterial grafts (MAG) vs. single arterial grafts (SAG) in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. The follow-up period ranged from 6 months to 12.6

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.

The association of perioperative serum uric acid variation with in-hospital adverse outcomes in coronary artery bypass grafting patients

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundPrevious studies proposed the predictive value of baseline serum uric acid (SUA) in the prognosis of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients. The basic characteristics and incidence of adverse outcomes were compared between the groups in the overall population and the subgroups.

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Versus Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Patients With Left Main Disease With or Without Diabetes: Findings From a Pooled Analysis of 4 Randomized Clinical Trials

Circulation

BACKGROUND:Diabetes may be associated with differential outcomes in patients undergoing left main coronary revascularization with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Circulation, Ahead of Print. PintHR=0.87) diabetes.

Impact of Diabetes on Outcomes in Left Main Coronary Revascularization: PCI vs. CABG

Cardiology Update

Left main coronary artery disease (CAD) and diabetes pose significant challenges in cardiovascular care, often leading to adverse outcomes. However, the comparative long-term efficacy of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with these conditions remains unclear.

Propensity score-based comparison of high-risk coronary artery bypass grafting vs. left ventricular assist device implantation in patients with coronary artery disease and advanced heart failure

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

In this setting, implantation of a durable left ventricular assist device (LVAD) might be an alternative.MethodsWe retrospectively compared the outcomes of adult patients with CAD and a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 25% who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) vs. LVAD implantation.

Early and late outcomes after minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass vs. full sternotomy off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was used to adjust for selection bias and to estimate treatment effects on short- and long-term outcomes. Long-term outcomes did not differ significantly between study groups. Results MIDCAB patients had less rethoracotomies ( n  = 13/3.6% units ± 1.83 h vs. 12.1 ± 26.4 h, units ± 1.83
