Coronary artery bypass grafting is a highly investigated surgical procedure and yet
continues to attract rigorous research aimed at reducing observed and potential morbidity …

Unlike on-pump CABG, hemodynamic compromise with OPCAB surgery is a concern during
cardiac positioning. Lifting and rotating the heart during OPCAB may alter such …

CORONARY REVASCULARIZATION plays an impor-tant role in the management of patients
with ischemic heart disease. Its principle builds on restoring antegrade flow, thereby …

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has been suggested to be a cause of complex systemic
inflammatory response that significantly contributes to several adverse postoperative …

We previously demonstrated that injection of IL-2-activated natural killer (NK) cells contribute
to vascular remodeling via a4b7 integrin and killer cell lectin-like receptor (KLRG) 1 and …

Background Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) procedures can avoid the
complications of an on-pump bypass. However, some cases unexpectedly require …

Abstract Hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury in myocardial cells occurs frequently during
cardiac surgery and affects the prognosis of patients. The present study aimed to investigate …

RECENTLY, OFF-PUMP CORONARY artery bypass (OPCAB) graft surgery has been
considered as a safe alternative to conventional coronary artery bypass graft surgery with …

Technical advances have made the performance of multivessel off-pump coronary artery
bypass feasible. Snaring and intraluminal shunts are the techniques used for vascular …

PURPOSE: We developed a synchronized, arterial-flow, ensuring system to perform
coronary anastomoses safely without any ischemia-related event. DESCRIPTION: Arterial …
