Objectives: Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (MICS CABG) allows visualization and revascularization of all myocardial territories through a small anterolateral thoracotomy, with or without cardiopulmonary bypass. It is increasing in popularity as a safe and effective alternative to sternotomy CABG. In this study, we examined the correlates and long-term outcomes of repeat revascularization (RR) in patients who undergo MICS CABG.

Purpose: Recovery following cardiac surgery via sternotomy involves weaning from invasive mechanical ventilation, maintaining hemodynamic stability, and preventing complications. In the early postoperative period, a key priority is adequate pain control to allow patients to actively participate in exercise. The purpose of this study was to (i) describe analgesic prescribing and administration practices following cardiac surgery via sternotomy and (ii) explore patients' pain experience and how this impacted participation in early postoperative care.

Sanguineous CPB prime, composed of allogenic blood products, is one potentially important stimulus. This study aims to identify specific inflammatory mediators active in sanguineous CPB prime and their impact on the inflammatory response at CPB initiation.
