This is a review of the first 10 coronary artery bypass surgeries performed by the local team. The mean age was 62 years old [45 - 74]. The patients were predominantly male, with a M/F ratio of 4:1. Cardiovascular ris...
Essential thrombocytosis (ET) is a rare myeloproliferative disorder, which is a major risk factor for thrombosis and bleeding, which complicates cardiovascular surgery. ET is a risk factor for coronary artery disease ...
Importance of?thrombendarterectomy (TEA) had declined with the advent of bypass techniques and availability of prosthetic grafts, in patients with Peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD). Recently, there had been...
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of additional coronary revascularization on the early results in patients submitted to valve surgery. Patients and Methods: A retrospective review of the ca...
Anomalous origin of coronary arteries may be encountered coincidentally in the presence of unrelated pathology or when these are affected directly. This may directly be responsible for affecting the procedure or outco...
Background: Obesity has a great impact on overall mortality and morbidity in cardiac surgery. The magnitude of obesity is defined by means of body mass index (BMI). At this study we aim to correlate between grade of B...
Background: The aim of this study was to quantify the effect of obesity on early results after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods: A retrospective cohort study of patients underwent isolated CABG from Jan...
Trimetazidine is a drug that has been used to reduce the damage of reperfusion injury, which is a mechanism of oxidative aggression that occurs in coronary syndromes, angioplasty procedures, as well as in cardiovascul...
Background: Anomalies of the coronary arteries are uncommon, usually discovered incidentally during diagnostic cardiac catheterization or cardiac computed tomography (CCT). Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is one of the ...
Coronary artery anomalies combined with bicuspid aortic valve are rare but cause perioperative complications if not detected on time. Because anomalous coronary arteries vary with respect to the ostium’s origin and t...
