Ninety-seven cases of experiences with the left thoracotomy approach for off-pump conventional revascularization: a retrospective cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: Left thoracotomy for conventional revascularization is a safe procedure for appropriately selected patients, with few early complications and good early and mid-term results. More cases are ongoing and long-term results are in observation.PMID:36389332 | PMC:PMC9641355 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-22-1162

Association of early elevated cardiac troponin I concentration and longitudinal change after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting and adverse events: a prospective cohort study.
Conclusions: Longitudinal change in cTnI levels within 24 hours and early cTnI concentrations, even less than 1 hour after CABG, are associated with adverse events. These data will be useful in identifying patients at an increased risk of complications. PMID: 33282356 [PubMed]

Early surgical myocardial revascularization in non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome.
Conclusions: Early revascularized patients showed a higher level of illness. However, results of early CABG were comparable to those following delayed revascularization. Moreover, EuroSCORE II was determined as independent risk factors for mortality. PMID: 31903232 [PubMed]

Triglyceride glucose index for predicting cardiovascular outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease.
Conclusions: The present study, firstly, showed that TyG index was positively associated with future CVEs, suggesting that TyG may be a useful marker for predicting clinical outcomes in patients with CAD. PMID: 30622785 [PubMed]

Current outcomes of off-pump versus on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting: evidence from randomized controlled trials.
Authors: Fudulu D, Benedetto U, Pecchinenda GG, Chivasso P, Bruno VD, Rapetto F, Bryan A, Angelini GD Abstract Coronary artery bypass grafting remains the standard treatment for patients with extensive coronary artery disease. Coronary surgery without use of cardiopulmonary bypass avoids the deleterious systemic inflammatory effects of the extracorporeal circuit. However there is an ongoing debate surrounding the clinical outcomes after on-pump versus off-pump coronary artery bypass (ONCAB versus OPCAB) surgery. The current review is based on evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and meta-analyses of ra...
