Book Description
Beating heart surgery, or off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB), is a less invasive alternative to conventional coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) and aims to avoid the surgical trauma caused by cardiopulmonary bypass. For the purpose of this review OPCAB was defined as off-pump CABG with full merdian sternotomy. Seven randomised controlled trials and twenty-five non-randomised controlled trials comparing OPCAB with CABG were available for review. The methodological inaccuracies and poor evidence quality of many of the studies meant that only very general conclusions could be deawn from the data. Perioperative morbidity and mortality was generally similar or lower during OPCAB, in comparison to CABG. Overall, there was no discernible difference between difference in short-term safety outcomes between OPCAB and CABG, while major complications appeared less likely to occur following OPCAB. However, the lack of long-term follow-up precluded an assessment of the long-term safety of OPCAB. The limited data indicated that perioperative effectiveness outcomes were similar for both OPCAB and CABG. However, the number of grafts performed per patient was significatly lower during OPCAB.

Cardiac Anesthesia: A Problem Based Learning Approach
Author: Mohammed Minhaj
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190884525
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
Cardiac Anesthesia: A Problem-Based Learning Approach provides a comprehensive review of the dynamic and ever-changing field of cardiac anesthesia. Its problem-based format incorporates a pool of multiple-choice questions for self-assessment. Each of its 36 case-based chapters is accompanied by questions and answers, accessible online in a full practice exam. The cases presented are also unique, as each chapter starts with a case description, usually a compilation of several actual cases; it then branches out through case-based questions, to increasingly complex situations. This structure is designed to create an authentic experience that mirrors that of an oral board examination. The discussion sections that follow offer a comprehensive approach to the chapter's subject matter, thus creating a modern, complete, and up-to-date medical review of that topic.

Operative Techniques in Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
Author: Alexander Albert
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030484971
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 245
Book Description
This book provides an invaluable practically applicable and comprehensive manual to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. Critical concepts and techniques are discussed in an easy-to-follow and understand step-by-step guide, featuring a wealth of intraoperative photos and illustrations with concise and instructive descriptions. Topics covered include classical sternotomy, variants of arterial revascularization, off-pump and minimally invasive techniques (MICS-CABG). Operative Techniques in Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery provides invaluable assistance to residents, fellows and trainee surgeons by explaining theoretical and technical aspects of the latest advances in procedural techniques and therapy personalization to optimize CABG surgical outcome. Considering that any heart team depends entirely on the participants’ knowledge and their willingness to cooperate, this work allows cardiologists and the other participants of a heart team to better understand the strengths and limitations of state-of-the-art surgical coronary revascularization. The concepts synthesized within the checklists and decision algorithms provided also enable the reader to develop their knowledge of which technique is the most appropriate for a particular patient.

Technical Aspects of Modern Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
Author: Mario Gaudino
Publisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 0128203498
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 379
Book Description
Coronary surgery encompasses two thirds of all adult cardiac surgery cases. With the endless pursuit of better outcomes, modern coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has become technically more complex in ways that are well beyond the training of the average cardiac surgeon. The old concept of "one-technique-fits-all" has been abandoned in favour of a specialized approach tailored to the individual patient. In fact, in recent years, there is a growing movement towards establishing coronary surgery as a super-specialization of cardiac surgery. Technical Aspects of Modern Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery aims to expand on both the basics and complexities of the technical aspects of coronary surgery. It serves as an up to date resource that illustrates and details the advancement and techniques in this field which may soon become a separate super-specialty. With a particular emphasis on illustrations, the book will be an essential reference book for both established surgeons that have no experience in advanced CABG, and the new generation of CABG surgeons. A complete and concise resource on all aspects of coronary surgery In-depth illustrative review of various coronary techniques Covers both current recommendations and well-established practices in the field
