Surgical therapy for complex coronary artery disease

Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery
Andrew W ElbardissiS F Aranki

Abstract

Recent advances in medical therapy, percutaneous myocardial revascularization, and coronary artery bypass grafting have allowed patients to live longer without eliminating the underlying pathology of coronary artery disease. In this review the authors discuss surgical options, perioperative assessment, procedural details, and outcomes after repeated coronary artery bypass surgery and coronary endarterectomy, in patients with severe coronary artery disease that is not suited for further percutaneous coronary intervention. Furthermore, the authors also discuss the role of transmyocardial revascularization and protein/gene therapy in those extreme situations where complex coronary artery disease is no longer amenable to traditional surgical intervention.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.

Atherosclerosis Disease Progression

Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque on artery walls, causing stenosis which can eventually lead to clinically apparent cardiovascular disease. Find the latest research on atherosclerosis disease progression here.
