  2. 1. Endothelial function and dysfunction in coronary artery bypass grafting

    Author : Ulf Lockowandt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : CABG; Endothelin; Endothelin-blockers; endothelium; lactate; off-pump CABG; prostacyclin; radial artery; unstable angina pectoris;

    Abstract : The integrity of the endothelium is of importance for short- and long-term results following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). In this thesis different factors of the endothelial role in the regulation of vascular tone in relation to various current aspects of CABG have been investigated. READ MORE

  4. 2. Coronary artery bypass surgery without extracorporeal circulation

    Author : Jenny Vedin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Cardiopulmonary bypass; off pump; hemodynamics; myocardial damage; inflammation; hemostasis; cognitive function;

    Abstract : Introduction: Coronary artery bypass surgery with extracorporeal circulation is associated with a systemic inflammatory response syndrome that contributes to morbidity and mortality. Aortic cross clamping and cardioplegic arrest induces an ischemic insult to the heart and is a risk factor for neurological injury. READ MORE

  5. 3. Atherosclerosis of the ascending aorta as a risk factor for stroke after cardiac surgery : a study based on epiaortic ultrasound

    Author : Per Bergman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Cardiac surgery; atherosclerosis; ascending aorta; stroke; epiaortic ultrasound; intra-aortic filter.;

    Abstract : Postoperative stroke is a dreaded problem in cardiac surgery and atherosclerosis of the ascending aorta (AAA) is an important risk factor. The risk from calcified AAA, the extent and the topography of the disease in the development of stroke was evaluated. READ MORE

  6. 4. Atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery : an analysis of risk factors, mechanisms, and survival effects

    Author : Giovanni Mariscalco; Bengt Åberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; atrial fibrillation; adult; cardiac surgery; coronary artery bypass grafting; valvular surgery; cardiopulmonary bypass; mortalilty; histology; catecholamines; embolism; Surgery; Kirurgi;

    Abstract : Background: Despite the recent improvements in surgical techniques and postoperative patient care, atrial fibrillation (AF) remains the most frequent complication after cardiac surgery. Although postoperative AF is often regarded as a benign clinical condition, this arrhythmia has significant adverse effects on patient recovery and postoperative survival. READ MORE

  7. 5. Fibrinogen and Bleeding in Cardiac Surgery: Clinical Studies in Coronary Artery Bypass Patients

    Author : Martin Karlsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Cardiac surgery; Hemostasis; Cardiopulmonary bypass; Fibrinogen; Bleeding;

    Abstract : Fibrinogen and Bleeding in Cardiac Surgery: Clinical Studies in Coronary Artery Bypass Patients Background: Cardiac surgery is accompanied by inflammatory activation and bleeding complications. Fibrinogen is a key factor in the coagulation cascade and can be used to treat ongoing bleeding, but is not well studied as prophylactic treatment to prevent bleeding in patients with normal plasma fibrinogen levels or as a predictive tool to identify patients with increased bleeding risk.
