On-pump versus off-pump coronary-artery bypass surgery.

3 Nov 2009 BACKGROUND: Coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) has traditionally been performed with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (on-pump CABG). CABG without cardiopulmonary bypass (off-pump CABG) might reduce the number of complications related to the ... Read more...

A three-group model to predict mortality in emergent coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Emergent coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) for acute myocardial infarction is associated with an increased operative risk. For estimation of mortality risk, the European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) ... Read more...

Predicted risk of mortality models: surgeons need to understand limitations of the University HealthSystem Consortium models.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: The University HealthSystem Consortium (UHC) mortality risk adjustment models are increasingly being used as benchmarks for quality assessment. But these administrative database models may include postoperative complications in their ... Read more...
