Filter by:Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a condition known to be associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) and its role as promoter of atherosclerosis is well stablished. The revascularization surgery is commonly indicated to patients with multivessel coronary disease and kidney injury is a prevalent complication in post operation. This work aims to evaluate the impact of a strategy to control Diabetes Mellitus using inhibitors of sodium-glucose cotransporters (ISGLT2) in diabetics patients with assigned myocardial revascularization with cardiopulmonary bypass
The use of fractional flow reserve (FFR) to guide coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is controversial and not ubiquitously adopted across the units. There is no definitive evidence that the use of FFR improves early clinical outcomes after CABG, with the exception of a simplification of the procedure. FFR use may help in defining the indication to the use arterial grafts, but there is no evidence that preoperative FFR lead to any benefits in terms of patency when venous grafts are used. On these grounds a large multicentric all-comers observational study is planned. The aim is to achieve a real-life picture of the FFR practice in CABG across several European and non-European units. This study will inform on the effective use rate of FFR in the CABG practice and its clinical effectiveness when compared to standard angiography-based CABG.
This is a multi-center, open label, single group, observational study designed to evaluate the effects of a Cardioplexol™ preparation and administration training program proposed to cardiac surgeons and cardiotechnicians inexperienced in the use of Cardioplexol™. The training program aims at increasing the efficacy of Cardioplexol administration while reducing the risk of false manipulations. During the training possible risks and consequences of incorrect applications as well as the measures to take in case of administration error, are discussed. The training program includes one standardized theoretical part and one practical part consisting of a direct intra-operative coaching of surgeons practicing their first 2 operations. The effect of the training will then be assessed by evaluating each trained surgeon's 4 next consecutive patients operated with Cardioplexol and without the coach.
Objective of the study is to clarify humanin-like peptide concentration in myocard tissue and in blood and to study if its concentration level is related to early complication occurrence and frequency after cardiac operation. Hypothesis of the study is that previously described elements are related to each other.
Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is strongly recommended for patients with coronary heart disease. However, patient enrollment and completion of cardiac rehabilitation is low. This study will examine if a mobile phone intervention that uses a text messaging program can successfully promote participation in cardiac rehabilitation.
Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) is a surgical procedure known to be associated with cognitive impairment. Mechanisms of cognitive impairment are complex but may include insufficient oxygenation and inflammation due to exposure to the bypass circuit. Currently there are no approved therapeutics for the prevention or treatment of cognitive impairment in these patients. A small peptide, Angiotensin-(1-7) [Ang-(1-7)], is known to decrease inflammation in the brain in animal models. Early studies in humans have shown it to be safe. This peptide is naturally produced by the body and has anti-inflammatory and vasodilatory effects. Investigators believe that Ang-(1-7) may be able to help lower the risk of cognitive dysfunction in patients undergoing CABG. The goal of this project is to explore effects of the experimental peptide Angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang-(1-7) in patients undergoing an elective CABG surgery to determine its safety and efficacy to prevent cognitive dysfunction in patients undergoing CABG.
The objective of this study is to investigate the value of employing the aortic no-touch off-pump coronary artery bypass technique and the practice of carbon dioxide surgical field flooding for the prevention of type 1 and 2 neurological injuries following surgical coronary revascularization.
The aim of GLUTAMICS II is to evaluate whether intravenous glutamate infusion surgery reduces the risk of postoperative heart failure as measured by plasma NT-proBNP in patients undergoing moderate to high-risk coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Patients accepted for coronary artery bypass surgery of at least two vessel disease or left main stenosis with or without concomitant procedure and considered to be at moderate to high surgical risk preoperatively with regard to postoperative heart failure will be studied. The primary endpoint is postoperative increase of NT-proBNP from the day before surgery to the third postoperative day.
This is a single-center, open-label, randomized controlled trial. Patients with stable angina pectoris without use of dual antiplatelet therapy or anticoagulation therapy scheduled for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) at Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden will be eligible. This study investigates in patients having undergone CABG whether increasing the dose or the frequency of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) treatment improves the efficacy of ASA regarding platelet inhibition compared to the standard dosing for cardiovascular prevention (75 mg once daily) in the first three months after surgery. Patients will be randomly assigned to postoperative ASA dose 75mg once daily, 75mg twice daily or 160 mg once daily. The study dose ASA will be started at hospital discharge and continued of three months. Blood samples for serum thromboxane B2 (TxB2) and other analyses will be taken before surgery, before discharge, and after one and three months. All available data will be collected prospectively. Informed consent will be obtained from patients meeting the inclusion criteria before the initiation of any study-specific procedures.
In this study, up to 20 healthy individuals, 20 endo-ACAB patients, and 20 CABG patients undergo a maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test after hospital discharge (for patients only). Exercise tolerance is compared between groups.
