Pre-operative breathing training helps decrease risk of complications following bypass surgery
Patients at high-risk of developing pulmonary complications such as pneumonia following coronary artery bypass graft surgery can reduce their risk through breathing exercises and respiratory muscle training before the operation. view more (2006-10-18)
Still puzzling: Best care for the frail and elderly with coronary artery disease
A new study from Duke University Medical Center finds that patients treated solely with medications after suffering from chest pain, heart attack or coronary artery disease are more likely to die during the first year following their initial hospitalization. view more (2008-07-21)
Xenon Shows Promise in Protecting The Brain During Bypass Surgery
In studies using rats, researchers from Duke University Medical Center (USA) and Imperial College London, have found evidence that the chemically inert gas xenon can protect the brain from the neurological damage often associated with the use of the heart-lung machine during coronary artery bypass surgery. The researchers say that xenon appears to... view more... (2003-02-26)
Study examines impact of optional regulations on heart attack treatment
People who have heart attacks are about 15 percent less likely to be treated with bypass surgery or angioplasty within the first few days of the incident in states with certificate of need (CON) regulatory programs. view more (2006-05-10)

The relative urgency of coronary artery bypass grafting is still under debate, and in this issue of CMAJ, Légaré and colleagues evaluated safety among patients with stenosis of the left main coronary artery. view more (2005-08-16)
Bayer launches Phase III clinical study of Trasylol in elective spinal fusion surgery
Bayer Pharmaceuticals Corporation (NYSE: BAY) today announced the initiation of a Phase III clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Trasylol® (aprotinin injection) in reducing blood loss and the need for transfusion in adult patients undergoing elective spinal fusion surgery. view more (2005-12-09)
2 nondrug treatments appear to reduce depression after heart surgery
Two non-pharmacological interventions-cognitive behavior therapy and supportive stress management-appear more effective than usual care for treating depression after coronary artery bypass surgery. view more (2009-04-07)
Study questions risks of anti-bleeding drug during heart surgery
Contrary to recent studies, proper use of a drug called aprotinin to reduce bleeding during heart surgery does not increase the risk of heart attack or stroke, according to a study in the June issue of The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery. view more (2007-05-30)
Blood pressure drop during bypass surgery associated with increased risk of cognitive decline
Patients whose mean arterial blood pressure drops during bypass surgery may be at risk for early difficulties in thinking, learning and memory. view more (2007-06-12)
Robotic Surgery Lowers Risk of a Rare but Serious Complication of Gastric Bypass
The use of a robot to assist with the most commonly performed weight-loss surgery appears to significantly lower a patient's risk of developing a rare but serious complication, according to a study published in the most recent edition of the Journal of Robotic Surgery. view more (2008-09-25)
Inflammatory system genes linked to cognitive decline after heart surgery
Variants of two genes involved in the inflammatory system appear to protect patients from suffering a decline in mental function following heart surgery. view more (2007-05-02)
Weight loss before bariatric surgery linked to shorter hospital stay, faster weight loss
High-risk morbidly obese patients who lose 5 to 10 percent of their excess body weight before undergoing gastric bypass surgery appear to have shorter hospital stays and more rapid postoperative weight loss, according to a report in the October issue of Archives of Surgery, a theme issue on bariatric surgery. view more (2007-10-16)
Researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to study airway bypass treatment for emphysema
Researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center announced today the start of the EASE (Exhale Airway Stents for Emphysema) Trial, an international, multi-center clinical trial to explore an investigational treatment that may offer a new, minimally-invasive option for those suffering with advanced widespread emphysema. view more (2007-06-07)
Jefferson scientists find that drug-eluting stents are disappointing in bypass grafts — sometimes
While drug-eluting stents are effective in keeping open bypassed heart veins that aren't too diffuse (filled with cholesterol plaque), a new study by cardiologists at Jefferson Medical College shows that they fare less well in keeping open bypassed veins with longer blockages. view more (2007-03-27)
Weight loss after gastric bypass surgery may protect against infection and cancer
Another health benefit of bariatric weight-loss surgery may be a heightened immune defense against cancer and infections, a new study suggests. The results will be presented at The Endocrine Society's 90th Annual Meeting in San Francisco. view more (2008-06-18)
