Journal ArticleDOI
Optimism and rehospitalization after coronary artery bypass graft surgery
Michael F. Scheier,Karen A. Matthews,Jane F. Owens,Richard Schulz,Michael W. Bridges,George J. Magovern,Charles S. Carver +6 more
TL;DR: Optimism predicts a lower rate of rehospitalization after coronary artery bypass graft surgery and fostering positive expectations may promote better recovery, as well as independent of traditional sociodemographic and medical control variables.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microemboli during coronary artery bypass grafting. Genesis and effect on outcome.
Richard E. Clark,Jon Brillman,Donalee A. Davis,Mark R. Lovell,Trevor R. P. Price,George J. Magovern +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used transcranial Doppler ultrasonography to detect and quantify the number of microemboli in the right middle cerebral artery of patients undergoing elective first coronary bypass operations (n = 117) and second coronary bypass operation ( n = 10).
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) on glycemic control and left ventricular function in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.
George Sokos,Hakki Bolukoglu,Judy German,Teresa Hentosz,George J. Magovern,Thomas D. Maher,D.A. Dean,Stephen H. Bailey,Gary Marrone,Daniel H. Benckart,Dariush Elahi,Richard P. Shannon,Richard P. Shannon +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined whether perioperative treatment with GLP-1 would affect glycemic control and improve hemodynamic recovery after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
Journal ArticleDOI
A model for predicting transfusion after coronary artery bypass grafting
James A. Magovern,Tamara Sakert,Daniel H. Benckart,John A. Burkholder,George A. Liebler,George J. Magovern +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that readily available patient variables can predict patients at risk for transfusion and routine use of aprotinin and other adjustments of cardiopulmonary bypass should be considered to reduce transfusion in high-risk patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent experience with major sternal wound complications.
Todd L. Demmy,Sang B. Park,George A. Liebler,John A. Burkholder,Thomas D. Maher,Daniel H. Benckart,George J. Magovern +6 more
TL;DR: Although several risk factors may have been interrelated, male sex and the presence of pulmonary disease were statistically independent predictors of sternal wound infection.
