2. Coronary artery bypass surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_artery_bypass_surgery

   Coronary artery bypass surgery aims to prevent death from coronary artery disease and improve quality of life by relieving angina, the associated feeling of chest pain. [1] The decision to perform surgery is informed by studies of CABG's efficacy in different patient subgroups, based on the lesions' anatomy or how well the heart is functioning.

4. Off-pump coronary artery bypass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/.../Off-pump_coronary_artery_bypass

   Off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB), or beating-heart surgery, is a form of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery performed without cardiopulmonary bypass (heart-lung machine) as a treatment for coronary heart disease. It was primarily developed in the early 1990s by Dr. Amano Atsushi.

5. Vessel harvesting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vessel_harvesting

   Vessel harvesting is a surgical technique that may be used in conjunction with a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). For patients with coronary artery disease, a vascular bypass may be recommended to reroute blood around blocked arteries to restore and improve blood flow and oxygen to the heart.

6. Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass surgery

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimally_invasive_direct...

   Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) is a surgical treatment for coronary heart disease that is a less invasive method of coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). [1] MIDCAB gains surgical access to the heart with a smaller incision than other types of CABG.

7. Hybrid coronary revascularization - Wikipedia

   In a study designed and published by the Vanderbilt Heart and Vascular Institute, [6] routine intraoperative completion angiography performed in a fully functional hybrid operation room detected important defects in 97 of 796 (12% of the grafts) venous coronary artery bypass grafts in 366 adult patients (14% of the patients) with complex ...

8. Cardiac surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_surgery

   Cardiac surgery, or cardiovascular surgery, is surgery on the heart or great vessels performed by cardiac surgeons.It is often used to treat complications of ischemic heart disease (for example, with coronary artery bypass grafting); to correct congenital heart disease; or to treat valvular heart disease from various causes, including endocarditis, rheumatic heart disease, [1] and ...

9. Vascular bypass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_bypass

   Acute graft occlusion is the occlusion (blockage) of a vascular bypass graft shortly after the bypass is performed. Its causes, which are distinct from those of chronic graft occlusion , include technical failure (e.g. anastomotic stricture, incomplete valve lysis in non-reversed vein) and thrombosis.
