A 48-year-old male was consulted to our hospital on the next day when he was developed acute myocardial infarction (AMI). He developed cerebral infarction 26 years ago, and had left hemiparesis. Coronary angiogram revealed left main trunk and 2 vessels disease which was not amenable to catheter intervention, and brain computed tomography (CT) showed a very large infarction in right cerebrum. Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) double bypass grafting was performed. The paralysis did not get worse in the post operative course. He was discharged to his home. If the cerebral infarction is chronic phase with preserved neurological function, OPCAB may be recommended, even if it is large infarction.

Background: Patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) are at high risk for coronary artery disease. We investigate the trends and outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for stable ischemic heart disease (SIHD) in patients with ESKD.
Methods: We utilized the United States Renal Data System [2010-2018] to include adult patients with ESKD on dialysis for at least 3 months who underwent PCI for SIHD.
Unlabelled: The increased rate of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears has led to a greater number of revisions. Revision surgery can be performed in one or two stages. Single-stage revision ACL reconstruction (ssRACLR) may be performed when prior tunnels can be re-used or bypassed whereas a two-stage procedure is indicated when bone grafting of dilated tunnels prior to revision is necessary.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) remains a leading cause of mortality in Indonesia, and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is frequently employed to manage arterial blockages. Despite its efficacy, the recurrence of heart disease post-surgery is a significant concern, highlighting the need for a deeper understanding of its influencing factors. The aim of this study was to examine the factors associated with the incidence of heart disease recurrence after coronary bypass surgery.
