The systemic inflammatory response after coronary artery bypass grafting using
cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) contributes substantially to postoperative organ dysfunction …

The success of coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) depends mainly on the patency
of the graft vessels. Aortocoronary vein graft disease is comprised of three distinct but …

Objective: Clopidogrel decreases recurrent ischemic events and improves intracoronary
stent patency. There are scarce data on the effect of short-term and long-term clopidogrel on …

OBJECTIVE: The activation of the coagulation and fibrinolytic systems and platelet function
in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery on-pump or off-pump techniques was …

Abstract Objective:'Off-pump'coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) is an alternative to
conventional coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) …

Objective The impact of systemic inflammation on clinical outcomes after CABG surgery is
still controversial. In this study, we evaluated the impact of the markers of inflammation …

OBJECTIVE: Preoperative use of clopidogrel increases the risk of bleeding, but its
postoperative use has not been studied. We studied early postoperative clopidogrel use in …

CORONARY REVASCULARIZATION plays an impor-tant role in the management of patients
with ischemic heart disease. Its principle builds on restoring antegrade flow, thereby …

OBJECTIVES: Changes in hemostasis after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting are still
being discussed. There is a lack of information about platelet activity and aspirin efficacy …

BACKGROUND: Hemostatic drugs are widely thought to be unnecessary and potentially
detrimental in off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery (OPCABG), despite well …
