Redo Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in the era of Advanced PCI.

Objective: To review the evidence behind the role and relevance of redo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in the current practice of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods: A comprehensive electronic literature search was performed to identify articles that discuss the practice of PCI and redo CABG in patients that require coronary revascularization. All relevant studies are summarized in narrative manner to reflect current indications and preference.

Skeletonized or Pedicled Harvesting of Left Internal Mammary Artery: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

We sought to compare clinical outcomes in skeletonized versus pedicled left internal mammary artery (LIMA) grafts in elective coronary artery bypass grafting through a systematic review and meta-analysis. A comprehensive electronic literature search of PubMed, Ovid, Embase, and Scopus was conducted from inception to January 2020. Only short-term (30 days) studies which compared both techniques have been included in our analysis.

Coronary artery bypass grafting: Factors affecting outcomes.

Introduction: Coronary artery bypass grafting forms the bulk of a cardiac surgeon's workload. An extensive amount of research has been undertaken to improve the outcomes of this procedure. This literature review aimed to summarize key areas that influence coronary artery bypass grafting in modern day practice.

Left Atrial or Transeptal Approach for Mitral Valve Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

To compare outcomes of mitral valve surgery through conventional left atriotomy and transeptal approach (TS). Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines were followed. Primary outcomes were operative mortality and permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation; secondary outcomes were new onset of atrial fibrillation (AF), stroke and operative times.
