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.

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

IPTW-adjusted Kaplan–Meier estimates by study group were calculated for all-cause mortality, stroke, the risk of repeat revascularization and myocardial infarction up to a maximum follow-up of 10 years. In the FS group, the freedom from stroke at 1, 5, and 10 years was 97.0%, 93.0%, and 93.0%, respectively. units ± 1.83

Association Between Cardiovascular Event Type and Smoking Cessation Rates Among Outpatients With Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease: Insights From the NCDR PINNACLE Registry

Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality & Outcomes

Self-reported smoking status was assessed at each consecutive visit and used to determine smoking cessation after each interim ASCVD event (myocardial infarction, percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass graft, stroke/transient ischemic attack, peripheral artery disease).

In-hospital outcomes predictors and trends of redo sternotomy aortic root replacements: insights from a UK registry analysis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Hospital mortality was 17% ( n  = 192), postoperative stroke or TIA occurred in 5.2% ( n  = 58), and postoperative dialysis was required in 11% ( n  = 109) of patients. 4.65, P  < 0.001), recent myocardial infarction (OR: 6.42, CI: 2.24–18.41, 4.65, P  < 0.001), recent myocardial infarction (OR: 6.42, CI: 2.24–18.41,

Risk of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease After Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Hospitalization among Primary and Secondary Prevention Older Adults

Journal of the American Heart Association

The primary outcome was risk of an ASCVD hospitalization composite outcome (myocardial infarction, coronary artery bypass graft, percutaneous coronary intervention, stroke, transient ischemic accident) after COPD hospitalization relative to before COPD hospitalization.
