Impact of Graft Velocity on Saphenous Vein Graft Atherosclerosis after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
CONCLUSION: Lower graft velocity and higher graft/native ratio in diameter were associated with the graft atherosclerosis. The N-SVG group had increased graft velocity, which may contribute to prevent the graft atherosclerosis.(Trial registration: UMIN Clinical Trial Registry no. UMIN000050482.

A Predictive Nomogram for Intensive Care-Acquired Weakness after Cardiopulmonary Bypass
CONCLUSION: A high BMI, poor NYHA class, preoperative high serum lactate, low serum albumin, long surgical duration, aortic clamping, and high acute physiological and chronic health evaluation II score are risk factors for ICUAW after CPB. This robust and easy-to-use nomogram was developed for clinical decision-making.PMID:37460303 | DOI:10.5761/atcs.oa.23-00029 (Source: Annals of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery)

Characteristics and In-Hospital Outcomes of Patients Who Underwent Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting during Hospitalization for ST-Segment Elevation or Non-ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
CONCLUSION: AMI patients undergoing CABG were more likely to have high-risk characteristics than those who did not undergo CABG. However, after adjusting for baseline differences, CABG was associated with lower in-hospital mortality in both the STEMI and NSTEMI groups.PMID:37423750 | DOI:10.5761/atcs.oa.23-00016 (Source: Annals of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery)

Endoscopic Pedicle Saphenous Vein Graft Harvesting
Ann Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2023 Jul 7. doi: 10.5761/atcs.nm.23-00054. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe excellent long-term patency of no-touch (NT) saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) makes the grafts very attractive for coronary artery bypass grafting; however, NT-SVG harvesting has a greater incidence of wound complications than conventional methods. Since 2009, we have performed endoscopic vein harvesting (EVH) in our department with very few major wound complications. Because NT-SVG harvesting is expected to provide long-term patency, if performed with EVH, the incidence of wound complications will be reduced. Thus, we bega...
