Filter by:This study is designed to collect post market data on use of the VEST, particularly on saphenous vein grafts to the right territory of the heart.
In spite improvements in methods of myocardial protection, peri-operative myocardial damage is still the commonest cause of early morbidity and mortality after technically successful CABG Surgery. What is the optimum method of myocardial protection is still debatable. The investigators conducted this study to see effects of multiport antegrade cold blood cardioplegia on myocardial protection, along with continuous controlled warm blood perfusion through veins graft during proximal ends anastomosis in conventional CABG surgery in patients having multi-vessel disease.
Acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery is a major complication after cardiac surgery and has been reported to be associated with adverse outcome. There have been many studies reporting risk factor of acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery, but the influence of perioperative variables related to anesthesia and perioperative medication has not been evaluated fully. The investigators attempt to evaluate the influence of perioperative clinical variables including preoperative medication, preoperative albumin level, uric acid concentration, anesthesia technique, use of hydroxyethyl starch, blood glucose level, intraoperative medication, perioperative cardiac function (systolic and diastolic function) and hemodynamic variables during surgery on the incidence of acute kidney injury after coronary artery bypass graft.
Following myocardial infarct, cellular therapy is a potential approach to repopulate the injured myocardium, to treat heart failure and restore cardiac function. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, feasibility and efficacy of intramyocardial delivery of selected autologous CD133+ bone marrow stem cells at the time of coronary artery bypass grafting in patients with chronic ischemic cardiomyopathy.
Evaluate less employed markers of tissue hypoperfusion as venoarterial carbon dioxide partial pressure difference (ΔPCO2) and estimated respiratory quotient (eRQ) combined to other classically studied markers as predictive factors of complicated clinical course after cardiac surgery in patients with left ventricular dysfunction.
Experimental data have demonstrated favourable effects of statins on endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) mobilization from the bone marrow, and cardiac homing. The purpose of the present prospective randomized controlled trial is to determine the effects of aggressive atorvastatin treatment (40 mg daily 2-weeks prior to surgery) on the number of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) after cardiopulmonary bypass by comparing with placebo.
Pre- and postoperative cardiopulmonary rehabilitation reduces complications after coronary artery bypass surgery. This study was conducted as a randomized trial to verify this hypothesis in our institution. ICSC
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of nesiritide compared to placebo when given with standard of care therapies, on kidney function, heart function and the need of other treatments in heart failure patients undergoing heart bypass graft surgery that requires the use of a cardiopulmonary bypass machine (CPB pump or heart-lung machine).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a pre-discharge videotape introducing the concept and benefit of a Cardiac Rehabiliation & Secondary Prevention (CRSP) program will increase intent to participate in a CRSP program in post myocardial infarction, unstable angina, coronary artery bypass surgery, or coronary angioplasty patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a less restrictive strategy of red blood cell transfusion in elderly patients following coronary bypass surgery results in enhanced postoperative recovery as determined by quality of life assessment, exercise tolerance and clinical outcomes. Two postoperative transfusion strategies: 1. Liberal - transfused when Hgb is <100g/L 2. Restrictive - transfused when Hgb is <70g/L
