Cardiac Myosin-Binding Protein C for Diagnosis of Myocardial Infarction in Patients With Prior Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.

BACKGROUND Diagnosing myocardial infarction in patients with prior coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains challenging, primarily because of lower diagnostic accuracy of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn). cMyC (cardiac myosin-binding protein C), because of its faster release kinetics and greater abundan...

Improving image quality by reducing breathing artifacts in CT of patients early after coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether a misalignment correction algorithm reduces artifacts from breathing in patients undergoing computed tomography angiography (CTA) early after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. In this retrospective study, consecutive patients undergoing CTA early after CABG s...

Impella 5.0/5.5-Assisted Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery in Patients with Severely Impaired Left Ventricular Function: A Single-Center Descriptive Feasibility and Safety Study

Impella 5.0/5.5-assisted OPCAB appears feasible in selected patients, with a complication profile that warrants further evaluation given the low number of patients enrolled; prospective controlled evaluation is required.
