Computer Modelling Informed Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Coronary artery bypass grafting operations have been performed as a treatment for this disease for over 60 years. There has been recent interest in the exclusive use of arterial grafts as conduits for this operation, …

Epidural analgesia for coronary artery bypass graft surgery
… failure, through either; * reduction of native coronary artery and/or graft (conduit) spasm, or * reduction of postoperative hypercoagulability.

Outcomes of "off-pump" coronary artery bypass grafting in a developing country : advantages over coronary artery bypass grafting on cardiopulmonary bypass
Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) was developed to avoid the deleterious effects of CPB. Current literature reveals some peri-operative advantages of OPCAB, with few studies detailing these in Africa. We review our institutional experience with both approaches in higher risk patients …

Functional Capacity Outcomes following Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
The objective of this study was to determine if this is possible to predict 3 mo post-CABG treadmill VO2pk outcomes from a combination of pre-surgical physical fitness and health and clinical status variables. To determine the VO2pk, subjects performed a maximal treadmill test using a ramp protocol …

Nurses' perceptions of patients' needs post coronary artery bypass grafting
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a stressful and emotional event for the patient, who faces his/her own mortality and possibly the need for an altered lifestyle. Identifying the needs of patients following an acute cardiac event is an essential step in the development of nursing …

Nurse-patient perception of stressors associated with coronary artery bypass surgery
Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery endure many stressors postoperatively. The purpose of this research study was to approximately replicate Puetz's study (1990) regarding the incongruencies of patient and nurse perceptions of stresser associated with coronary artery bypass surgery. …

Application of remote ischaemic preconditioning to human coronary artery bypass surgery
… adult patients undergoing on-pump multi-vessel coronary artery surgery. Patients, investigators, anaesthetists, surgeons and critical care teams were all blind to group allocation. Subjects were randomized(1:1) to RIPC(or placebo) stimuli (3x upper limb (or dummy arm) 5 minute cycles of 200mmHg …

Nurse and patient perception of stressors associated with coronary artery bypass surgery
… perception of stressors associated with coronary artery bypass surgery. The population of the study consisted of two groups: (1) patients recovering from coronary artery bypass surgery, and (2) registered nurses providing the care for the coronary artery bypass patient. The instrument …

Cardiopulmonary Predicators of Dysfunctional Ventilator Weaning Response after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft
<p>Although the majority of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery patients are extubated within 6 to 8 hours following surgery, 20% to 40% of patients remain intubated 12 hours after surgery due to dysfunctional ventilator weaning response (DVWR). DVWR associated with increased morbidity and …

The short-term effects of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery on cognitive performance
… cognitive impairment is a common complication of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. This study evaluated the short-term effects of CABG surgery on cognitive performance one to two days prior to surgery (baseline) and one-month post-surgery (follow up). 40 CABG surgical patients and 40 …

Quality of Life Three Months After Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: Effects of Presurgical Physical Fitness
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a procedure used to help improve and save the lives of thousands of coronary artery diseased patients every year. Measuring health-related quality of life (HRQL) significantly contributes to understanding patient perceptions of outcomes attributable to this …

A comparison of cardiac rehabilitation, social support, and stress management training in coronary artery bypass graft patients
… treatment strategies in the rehabilitation of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients. Fifteen CABG patients were randomly assigned to one of three training groups: an outpatient cardiac rehabilitation exercise group (which met three times per week for three months); a second group which …

The Relationship between Coping, Anxiety, and Quality of Life for Taiwanese Post-Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery Patients
Coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG) is a stressful event and requires coping strategies to achieve adaptation. In Taiwan, despite the fact that the incidence of CABG is increasing in both men and women, research on post-CABG adaptation is very limited and no research focuses on outcomes …

The effect of preoperative intensive care orientation on postoperative anxiety levels in spouses of coronary artery bypass clients
… program on the anxiety levels in spouses of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients. Therefore, this study tested if primary prevention reduces stress as proposed by Neuman by using a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design. A convenience sample of 50 spouses of CABG patients were met …

Polo-Like Kinase 1 and Smooth Muscle Cells in Coronary Artery Bypass Conduits and Coronary Arteries Following Angioplasty
Objective — An internal mammary artery (IMA) graft is immune to intimal hyperplasia (IH) whereas a saphenous vein (SV) graft is prone to undergo restenosis due to neointima formation. However, the underlying mechanism in vein-graft that makes it prone to stenosis and closure is unknown. In this …
