Randomized prospective study comparing conventional subcuticular skin closure with Dermabond skin glue after saphenous vein harvesting.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Dermabond (Ethicon UK, Edinburgh, United Kingdom) is a topical skin adhesive used for surgical wound closure, with purported advantages over conventional sutures on cosmetic outcomes, cost benefits, and operative times. This study ... Read more...

Efficacy of aggressive lipid controlling therapy for preventing saphenous vein graft disease.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: We assessed the efficacy of aggressive lipid controlling therapy (ALCT), which maintains low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) below to 80 mg/dL and LDL/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio less than 1.5 for ... Read more...
