  2. Coronary artery bypass surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_artery_bypass_surgery

    CABG is also performed when a patient is to undergo another cardiac surgical procedure, most commonly for valve disease, and angiography reveals a significant lesion of the coronary arteries. [9] CABG can also address dissection of coronary arteries, where a rupture of the coronary layers creates a pseudo- lumen (cavity) and diminishes blood ...

  3. Postperfusion syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postperfusion_syndrome

    Postperfusion syndrome, also known as "pumphead", is a constellation of neurocognitive impairments attributed to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) during cardiac surgery. Symptoms of postperfusion syndrome are subtle and include defects associated with attention, concentration, short-term memory, fine motor function, and speed of mental and motor ...

  4. Cardiopulmonary bypass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiopulmonary_bypass

    Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) or heart-lung machine, also called the pump or CPB pump, is a machine that temporarily takes over the function of the heart and lungs during open-heart surgery by maintaining the circulation of blood and oxygen throughout the body. [1] As such it is an extracorporeal device. CPB is operated by a perfusionist. The ...

  5. Minimally invasive cardiac surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimally_invasive_cardiac...

    Hybrid coronary revascularization is a common procedure that takes advantage of coronary stenting in combination with CABG. Hybrid coronary bypass is a relatively new procedure and alternative to traditional bypass surgery that is defined by the performance of coronary bypass surgery and coronary stenting of different areas of a patient's heart.

  6. Cardiothoracic surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiothoracic_surgery

    [23] [24] A major concern with cardiac surgery is the incidence of neurological damage. Stroke occurs in 5% of all people undergoing cardiac surgery, and is higher in patients at risk for stroke. [25] A more subtle constellation of neurocognitive deficits attributed to cardiopulmonary bypass is known as postperfusion syndrome, sometimes called ...

  7. Cardiac surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_surgery

    Cardiac surgery, or cardiovascular surgery, is a surgery on the heart or great vessels performed by cardiac surgeons.It is often used to treat complications of ischemic heart disease (for example, with coronary artery bypass grafting); to correct congenital heart disease; or to treat valvular heart disease from various causes, including endocarditis, rheumatic heart disease, [1] and ...

  8. Coronary ischemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_ischemia

    Medications such as nitrates and beta-blockers may be useful for reducing the symptoms of coronary ischemia. [6] In refractory cases, invasive procedures such as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) may be performed to relieve coronary ischemia. [14]

  9. Cardiothoracic anesthesiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiothoracic_anesthesiology

    Fellows are trained to provide perioperative anesthetic management for patients with severe cardiopulmonary pathology. Some of the cardiac surgeries they train for include the following: coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) both on cardiopulmonary bypass as well as on a beating heart, heart valve surgery, aortic reconstruction requiring deep hypothermic arrest, mechanical ventricular assist ...
