Del Nido cardioplegia (DC) offers prolonged single-dose myocardial protection in pediatric cardiac surgery. We set out to evaluate the efficacy of DC in adult patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). From January 2012 to October 2017, 851 consecutive isolated CABG surgeries were performed by 2 study surgeons at our cente...

Objective: To determine the impact of an exercise-based prehabilitation (EBPrehab) program on pre- and postoperative exercise capacity, functional capacity (FC) and quality of life (QoL) in patients awaiting elective coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Design: A two-group randomized controlled trail. Setting: Ambulatory prehabilitation. Su...

Introduction Marked isolated elevation of cardiac biomarkers (CK-MB, cardiac troponin I, heart-type fatty acid binding protein, hFABP) within 48 hours after coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG), even in the absence of electrocardiographic/angiographic evidence of myocardial infarction (MI), indicates prognostically significant cardiac procedural m...

Introduction Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery constitute a large population of patients with anatomically similar incisions created under similar circumstances. Aim Our study aimed at analysing and comparing rates of surgical site infections (SSIs) at the sternotomy sites based on the material used for skin closure of the st...

OBJECTIVES No studies have been specifically conducted on asthma patients undergoing cardiac surgery for assessing mortality and morbidity. Distinct effects of cardiac surgery lead to negative effects on respiratory functions, putting patients with existing lung diseases under an increased risk. We aimed to investigate whether asthma patients are u...

We compared the long-term outcomes of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) disease in a real-world population. CABG is the standard of care for ULMCA disease. Contemporary randomized trials have reported conflicting results with the two revascularizatio...

Absztrakt: A tünetes koszorúér-betegség kezelésében ma is kiemelkedő szerepet játszanak a revascularisatiós műtétek (coronary artery bypass grafting – CABG). Az első beavatkozások elvégzése óta eltelt több mint ötven év alatt számos klinikai megfigyelés igazolja, hogy a koszorúér-áthidalásra az arteria mammaria interna (IMA) használható a legkedvez...

Background Management of elderly patients with Non-ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) continues to be a source of controversy due to underrepresentation in large-scale clinical trials and the increased risk of adverse outcomes after both invasive (Percutaneous coronary intervention and Coronary artery bypass grafting) and non-invasive ther...

Minimally invasive extracorporeal circulation circuits provide several advantages compared to conventional extracorporeal circulation circuits. We compared the results of a minimally invasive extracorporeal circulation system with those of conventional extracorporeal circulation system, in patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass graftin...
