Case Report: Staged surgical management in ESRD: off-pump CABG followed by renal transplantation to enhance graft survival

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

For patients who are candidates for renal transplantation (RT), major surgeries such as coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are associated with cardiac complications as well as higher rates of post-operative complications, including the need for large amounts of blood transfusion, worsening kidney function, infection, and graft rejection.

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

Prediction of postoperative stroke in patients experienced coronary artery bypass grafting surgery: a machine learning approach

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

According to the analysis of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, AUC, DCA and sensitivity, all seven machine learning models perform well and random forest (RF) machine model was found to perform best (AUC-ROC=0.9008, Accuracy: 0.9008, Precision: 0.6905; Recall: 0.7532, F1: 0.7205).

ECG in LMCA Stenosis

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Clinical evaluation and X-Ray chest showed features of pulmonary edema. Angiography done after initial stabilization showed severe stenosis of distal left main coronary artery. In addition, there were multiple lesions in all three vessels, making a standard indication for an urgent coronary artery bypass grafting.
