Background: Post-Operative Atrial Fibrillation (POAF) is the most common dysrhythmia following open-heart surgery. The mechanisms and risk factors for its development are multi-factorial including mechanical effects from the surgery itself, biochemical alterations, influences from medications, and patient comorbidities among others. In an attempt to better understand and manage the problem, a retrospective review of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) who ... Read more

Background: Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) is the most common adult cardiac surgical procedure worldwide. The techniques used to accomplish CABG range from the traditional use of Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB) with Aortic Cross-Clamping (AXC)-TRAD-CAB-to beating heart techniques without CPB (OP-CAB) or with CPB-assistance (PAD-CAB). This study aimed to examine the outcomes of the PAD-CAB procedure in a subset of ... Read more

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) is inevitably associated with some level of activation of the coagulation and inflammation systems. The purpose of this research was to access the Circulating Microvesicles (cMVs) possible association with inflammatory response, coagulopathy in patients with on- and off- pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery (CABG). Firstly, microvesicles obtained from the patients’ plasma before (A0/... Read more
