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 randomized clinical trial investigating the relationship between aprotinin and hypercoagulability in off-pump coronary surgery.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) surgery is associated with a hypercoagulable state in which the platelet thrombin receptor, protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR-1), helps propagate a thrombin burst within saphenous vein grafts. ... Read more...

Drug-eluting versus bare-metal stents for treating saphenous vein grafts.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Current data show conflicting results regarding safety and efficacy of drug-eluting stents (DES) versus bare-metal stents (BMS) for treating saphenous vein grafts (SVG). Our objective was to compare DES with BMS for SVG intervention. ... Read more...
