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...
