2. 11. No touch vein harvesting technique for coronary artery by-pass surgery : impact on patency rate, development of atheroscleosis, left ventricular function and clinical outcome during 16 years follow-up

   Author : Benny Johansson; Eva Swahn; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; atherosclerosis; coronary artery disease; coronary artery bypass grafting; vein grafts; no touch vein harvesting technique; intravascular ultrasound; echocardiography; clinical outcome; revascularization; outcome analysis; angina pectoris; myocardial infarction; mortality; randomized trial; Surgery; Kirurgi;

   Abstract : This thesis was based on a prospective randomized trial which was started in 1993 to compare the no touch (NT) with the conventional (C) technique of saphenous vein harvesting for CABG.In paper I, was demonstrated superior patency for the NT grafts at short-term (1.5 years; 95,6% vs 89%; p < 0,05) and long-term follow-up (8.

4. 12. Transesophageal Echocardiography in Patients Undergoing Elective Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

   Author : Ingrid Palmgren; Russell Anderson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Anaesthesiology and intensive care; transesophageal echocardiography; low-dose dobutamine; viability; coronary artery bypass; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; Anaesthetics and intensive care; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; anestesiologi; Anaesthesiology;

   Abstract : Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has become a useful tool in monitoring the heart in patients during open-heart surgery. This study was undertaken to evaluate whether it is feasible to use TEE to assess left ventricular myocardial viability in anesthetized patients scheduled for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

5. 13. Perioperative Myocardial Damage and Morbidity after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

   Author : Johnny Steuer; Elisabeth Ståhle; Bertil Lindahl; Gunnar Engström; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; coronary surgery; creatine kinase; magnetic resonance imaging; morbidity; mortality; perioperative myocardial infarction; troponin; women; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi;

   Abstract : The aims of this project were to investigate the impact of perioperative myocardial damage on morbidity and mortality after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), to determine whether biochemical marker levels after CABG correlate to perioperative myocardial infarct size, and to assess the long-term morbidity after CABG, in particular to determine whether women do worse.The studies were conducted in patients who had undergone isolated, primary CABG.

6. 14. Effects of Deep Breathing Exercises after Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

   Author : Elisabeth Westerdahl; Arne Tenling; Göran Hedenstierna; Birgitta Lindmark; Anders Larsson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physical therapy; atelectasis; breathing exercises; coronary artery bypass; computed tomography; physiotherapy; postoperative care; postoperative complications; respiratory function tests; thoracic surgery; Sjukgymnastik; Physiotherapy; Sjukgymnastik fysioterapi;

   Abstract : Deep breathing exercises are widely used in the postoperative care to prevent or reduce pulmonary complications, but no scientific evidence for the efficacy has been found after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. The aim of the thesis was to describe postoperative pulmonary function and to evaluate the efficacy of deep breathing exercises performed with or without a blow bottle device for positive expiratory pressure (PEP) 10 cmH2O or an inspiratory resistance-positive expiratory pressure (IR-PEP) mask with an inspiratory pressure of -5 cmH2O and an expiratory pressure of +10 to +15 cmH2O.

7. 15. Manifestations and Survival in Coronary Heart Disease

   Author : Kerstin Dudas; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : coronary heart disease; acute coronary syndrome; coronary-bypass grafting; mortality; case fatality; survival; manifestation; predictors; risk factors; trends; cholesterol;

   Abstract : Aim: To investigate how risk factors predict manifestations in coronary heart disease (CHD), and trends in short-term and long-term survival including trends in out-of-hospital mortality. Populations and methods: In the first study 7388 men aged 47 to 55 and free of previous acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or stroke were investigated during 28 years’ follow-up. READ MORE
