December 19, 2024
This meta-analysis evaluates the clinical outcomes of totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass (TECAB) in patients with symptomatic coronary artery disease. A comprehensive search of PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane was conducted, analyzing data from 18 eligible studies published up to December 2022, involving 2,774 patients.
December 19, 2024
Surgeons at the West Virginia University Heart and Vascular Institute performed the world’s first combined robotic aortic valve replacement (AVR) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) through a single small incision. The groundbreaking procedure, led by Dr.

This study utilized data from 1,266,545 consecutive isolated coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) operations (2008-2016) in The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Surgery Database to develop risk assessment tools to predict the likelihood of perioperative transfusions and the expected volume of blood products required.
November 14, 2024
This is a single-center, retrospective case-cohort analysis that assessed the impact of rigid-plate fixation and an enhanced recovery protocol on postoperative outcomes following median sternotomy. The analysis included 608 patients, with a mean age of 66 years, of whom 59 percent underwent isolated coronary artery bypass grafting.
November 14, 2024
This single-center study investigated the long-term outcomes of patients aged 60 years old or less with low complexity coronary anatomy with equivalent indication for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) versus percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
November 7, 2024
This article examines the critical role of proximal anastomosis in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), highlighting its impact on the risk of perioperative stroke. Key points include the importance of thorough preoperative assessments, particularly using CT scans to evaluate ascending aorta calcification, a known risk factor for stroke.
October 17, 2024
This study investigated the impact of complete revascularization (CR) versus incomplete revascularization (IR) on long-term survival in patients who underwent multivessel coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with either multiple arterial grafts (MAG) or a single artery with saphenous vein grafts (SAG).
October 17, 2024
This study examined whether potassium supplementation at a lower threshold (below 3.6 mEq/L) is as effective as the standard practice (below 4.5 mEq/L) in preventing atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
October 10, 2024
Myocardial infarction due to coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are the primary treatment modalities of choice for patients with CAD.
