Preoperative Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio and Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio for prediction of major complications following Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.

Introduction: The Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and Platelet to Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR) have recently been reported as potentially useful indicators of inflammation. In this study, the authors investigated their predictive role for postoperative complications of Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG).

Method: This study was conducted on the medical records of patients who had undergone isolated CABG in 2019-2020 in Isfahan, Iran.

Effects of single antegrade hot shot in comparison with no hot shot administration during coronary artery bypass grafting.

Background: Superior results will be achieved from cardiac surgery by minimizing the effect of ischemia/reperfusion injury during cross-clamping of the aorta. Different cardioplegia solutions have been introduced, but the optimum one is still ambiguous. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of single antegrade hot shot terminal warm blood cardioplegia (TWBC) on patients who had undergone coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
