SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN DEATH RATE AFTER BYPASS SURGERY FOR PEOPLE WITH ANAEMIA (p 1749)
Anaemic patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery could have up to a five-fold increased risk of death in the days after surgery compared with patients who have normal haemoglobin concentrations, suggest authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. People with anaemia (individuals with a haemoglobin concentration of... view more... (2002-05-15)
New research suggests heart bypass surgery increases risk of Alzheimer's disease
Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) researchers have discovered that patients who have either coronary artery bypass graft surgery or coronary angioplasty are at an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. view more (2005-08-26)
TREATING DEPRESSION IMPORTANT FOR REDUCING DEATH AFTER BYPASS SURGERY (p 604)
Issue 23 August 2003 Embargoed 0001 h (London time) 22 August 2003. Authors of a US study in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how a substantial proportion of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery are clinically depressed-and that treating depression after surgery could substantially reduce the risk of death among these... view more...

Poverty increases risk of complications and death after bypass surgery
Poverty increases the risk of complications and death after heart bypass surgery, finds research in Heart. The researchers base their findings on over 3500 patients in need of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) at one hospital unit between 1996 and 2000. Almost half of the unit's referrals (40%) are drawn from a wide area across south west... view more... (2003-08-14)
Risk of death increases with combined heart and stroke prevention surgery
Patients who undergo combined heart bypass surgery and carotid endarterectomy, the most commonly used stroke prevention surgery, significantly increase their chances of death or stroke. view more (2007-01-16)
Controversial "beating heart" method proves better than standard procedure
Patients needing second-time or "re-do" heart surgery have a new safer alternative. New findings show that an "off-pump" surgical procedure is performed safely and has improved outcomes for patients than traditional methods. view more (2004-09-26)
NEW DEVICE COULD REVOLUTIONISE CORONARY-ARTERY BYPASS SURGERY
A new surgical device that has been used by a Swiss medical team could greatly reduce the time and skill required for coronary-artery bypass surgery, conclude authors of a fast-track research letter available from THE LANCET's website today (Monday 19 March 2001). Friedrich Eckstein, Thierry Carrel, and colleagues from University Hospital, Bern,... view more... (2001-03-16)
Jefferson scientists find that plavix appears to be safe during and after heart bypass
Heart surgeons don't have to choose between taking a coronary-bypass patient off the popular anti-clotting drug clopidogrel (Plavix) after off-pump heart bypass surgery or having the patient bleed excessively in the days following surgery, according to a new study by researchers at Jefferson Medical College. view more (2007-03-28)
Beating Heart Bypass Surgery Reduces Postoperative Complications...
Results of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery done on the beating heart reduces the risk of short-term complications compared with conventional bypass surgery. CABG surgery on the beating heart (off-pump surgery) is increasingly being used when restoring coronary artery blood flow as... view more... (2002-04-04)
Gastric bypass reduces mortality risk in severely obese patients
Severely obese patients who undergo gastric bypass surgery significantly reduce their risk of death from coronary heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. view more (2007-08-23)
MAJOR TRIAL TO COMPARE OUTCOMES OF TREATMENTS FOR LEG BLOOD VESSEL BLOCKAGES
Mr Andrew Bradbury, Senior Lecturer and Consultant Vascular Surgeon at the Royal Infirmary, explains: "Lower limb ischaemia due to narrowing of the arteries is a common condition, and untreated, frequently leads to amputation and/or death. Approximately 5,000 patients in Scotland are affected with severe limb ischaemia each year.... view more... (1999-06-21)
Bypass not to blame for heart patients' mental decline
Heart patients often experience lasting problems with memory, language, and other cognitive skills after bypass surgery. However, these problems aren't caused by the surgery itself or the pump used to replace heart function during surgery, a new study by Johns Hopkins researchers suggests. view more (2008-05-20)
Obesity linked to hormone imbalance that impacts sexual quality of life
Hormonal changes and diminished sexual quality of life among obese men are related to the degree of obesity, and both are improved after gastric bypass surgery according to a new study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM). view more (2009-03-03)
New data examine stents and bypass surgery in patients with 3VD and LMD
Newly reported data presented at the 20th annual Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) scientific symposium, sponsored by the Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF) from the SYNTAX clinical trial (SYNergy Between PCI With TAXUS and Cardiac Surgery) reveal similar safety and efficacy outcomes when the use of a drug-eluting stent is... view more...

Stent Or Bypass Surgery For Coronary Artery Disease?
An international study in this week`s issue of THE LANCET highlights how patients given bypass surgery for blocked or narrowed coronary arteries are less likely to require further intervention than patients given stent-assisted balloon angioplasty. The study also reported an apparent survival benefit for patients given bypass surgery over those... view more... (2002-09-25)
Risk and outcome similar for bypass surgery, drug-eluting stents
Drug-eluting stent therapy and bypass surgery for coronary artery disease have about the same risk for a major cardiac event within 30 days after the procedures, researchers reported at the American Heart Association's 8th Annual Conference on Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology. view more (2007-04-20)
Treatment of severe coronary artery disease with drug-eluting stents a viable alternative to CABG
Severe stenosis (blockage) to the left main coronary artery-a condition commonly called a "widow-maker"- can result in sudden death. view more (2006-02-28)
Some obese patients more likely to return to work following gastric bypass surgery
Obese Medicaid patients who undergo Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery may be more likely to return to work than obese Medicaid patients who do not undergo the surgery, according to a report in the October issue of Archives of Surgery, a theme issue on bariatric surgery. view more (2007-10-16)
Robotic gastric bypass surgery shows promise
A system that allows surgeons to perform laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery from a remote console, controlling up to three robotic arms and a binocular camera, was successfully tested in 10 patients. view more (2005-08-16)
Surgeons perform first robot-assisted procedures in weight loss, colon and gastric fields
UT Southwestern Medical Center surgeons are the first in North Texas to perform robotically assisted laparoscopic gastric-bypass and colon-resections surgeries. view more (2006-11-29)
