An investigation of the effectiveness of oral cyclosporine on perioperative myocardial injury (PMI) in patients who undergo the surgical procedure of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG): A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.

Background: Routine clinical strategies for the prevention of myocardial infarction (MI) during the surgical procedure of CABG include cross-clamp fibrillation and cardioplegia have failed to decrease the risk of perioperative myocardial injury (PMI). Cyclosporine-A (CsA) might be able to prevent mitochondrial dysfunction and PMI.

Methods: In the present clinical trial, patients were divided into two groups (Case receive 2.

This case strengthens the evidence that Candida species other than Candida albicans can be involved in the pathogenesis of disseminated candidiasis in heroin addicts.
