 | | CABG may also be indicated in other specific circumstances, or when an individual patient is experiencing severe angina pectoris that cannot be controlled with medicines alone. | | | All of these techniques are commonly referred to as "minimally invasive heart surgery." In all cases the hope is that patients will have less pain and a faster recovery and return to work. | | | After successful CABG, a patient's anginal chest pain should resolve, although they will likely experience some incisional chest discomfort. |

| | PTCA vs. CABG -- CTSNet FAQs |
| | Therefore, for patients with an overriding goal to avoid CABG, the choice of PTCA will be 70% effective in achieving the goal with one or more PTCAs but without an additional penalty of greater risk of myocardial infarction. | | | Both interventional therapies were effective in improving quality of life. | | | Both therapies were quite effective in relieving angina and decreasing ischemia on treadmill testing. |

| | CABG |
| | The number of CABG surgeries in the US (400-500,000 annually) is not as great as the number of ischemic strokes (500-700,000), but we would wager that it may well exceed the number of stroke patients who arrive at the ER within the six hour window that has been postulated for so many stroke drug candidates. | | | If CABG surgery becomes more firmly established as a causal factor in cognitive impairment, it would mean that this highly useful technique is frequently iatrogenic, contributing to lasting cognitive impairment in approximately 200,000 patients each year. | | | But CABG surgery presents the pathophysiology of stroke in mini-form, and with the opportunity to circumvent the most vexing of these hurdles. |

| | Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery - CABG and MIDCAB. |
| | The conventional CABG surgery is done by opening the patient's chest with an incision over the sternum (breast bone) and dividing it to expose the heart. | | | Today CABG surgery is one of the most common surgical procedures. | | | Since it involves a smaller chest incision than conventional CABG and excludes the use the heart-lung machine, this technique results in fewer complications, less pain after surgery, and more rapid recovery. |

| | ICU-USA - Tour - CABG |
| | CABG is the transplanting of blood vessels from one part of the body, such as the legs or inside the chest, to the heart. | | | However, the incision sites in the chest and limb(s) may be sore for some time following this operation. | | | If the condition cannot be remedied with medications, surgery called a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is often necessary. |

| | Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery |
| | In New Jersey, a total of 16,548 people underwent isolated CABG surgery (CABG surgery with no other major heart surgery during the same admission) in 1996-1997; these people, the hospitals in which they underwent surgery, and the surgeons who performed the surgery are the subject of this report. | | | This is indicative of an improvement in CABG surgery outcomes in New Jersey, and 1997 is the earliest time at which an improvement related to the collection and dissemination of these data could have occurred. | | | Provider (hospital and surgeon) performance for CABG surgery is assessed by looking at patient outcomes and how they compare with outcomes throughout the state. |

| | FOCUS: CORONARY REVASCULARIZATION |
| | CABG without cardiopulmonary bypass attracted the attention of cardiac surgeons in 1995, and has now become widely applied.Currently, we have a variety of surgical techniques and interventional coronary revascularization. | | | Seventy-eight and 12% of patients were randomized to drug therapy guided by angina; drug therapy guided by angina and ambulatory ECG; and revascularization by CABG or PTCA as deemed most appropriate by the physicians. | | | As the trials antedated widespread use of ITA in CABG and as medical therapy substantially improved since these trials were conducted, relevance of the trials of current practice is questioned. |

| | DukeMedNews Hospital CABG Volume May Not Be Best Quality Indicator |
| | CHICAGO - For coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), hospital procedural volume is only modestly associated with outcomes and therefore may not be an adequate quality indicator, according to a study in the Jan. 14, 2004, issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). | | | Eric D. Peterson, M.D., of the Duke Clinical Research Institute, Durham, N.C., and colleagues examined the association between hospital CABG procedural volume and outcome using clinical data available from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) National Cardiac Database. | | | Instead it seems more reasonable to support the continued growth of national clinical databases, which are capable not only of tracking risk-adjusted surgical care patterns and outcomes, but also of improving them," the authors conclude. |

| | Medtronic - What is Beating Heart CABG Surgery? |
| | Recent advances in surgical technique and equipment allow the surgeon to perform CABG surgery while the heart continues to beat, thus the name "Beating Heart CABG." In the great majority of cases, this technique avoids placing the patient on a cardiopulmonary bypass system used in conventional CABG procedures. | | | The surgeon must use a "stabilization" system to steady the portion of the heart where the suturing takes place. | | | Recent clinical studies suggest that there may be benefits to beating heart surgery, such as: |

| | CABG is a major operation, requiring opening of the chest. | | | For patients who have already had a PTCA and are asymptomatic--experiencing no ischemia, angina, or other symptom--they should take no special action but continue their regular care. | | | BARI's results indicate that CABG should be the preferred treatment for patients with diabetes on drug or insulin therapy who have multivessel coronary artery disease and need a first coronary revascularization. |
