Journal ArticleDOI
Prophylactic Oral Amiodarone for the Prevention of Arrhythmias that Begin Early After Revascularization, Valve Replacement, or Repair: PAPABEAR: a randomized controlled trial.
L. Brent Mitchell,Derek V. Exner,D. George Wyse,Carol J. Connolly,Gregory D. Prystai,Alexander J. Bayes,William T. Kidd,Teresa M. Kieser,John J. Burgess,Andre Ferland,Charles MacAdams,Andrew Maitland +11 more
TL;DR: Oral amiodarone prophylaxis of atrial tachyarrhythmias after cardiac surgery is effective and may be safe overall and in important patient subgroups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coronary artery bypass grafting: Part 1--the evolution over the first 50 years.
TL;DR: This review provides a historical recapitulation of experimental surgery, the evolution of the surgical techniques and the utilization of CABG, and data on contemporary clinical outcomes are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transit-time flow predicts outcomes in coronary artery bypass graft patients: a series of 1000 consecutive arterial grafts
TL;DR: A high PI predicts technically inadequate arterial grafts during surgery--even if all other intra-operative assessments indicate good grafts; it also predicts outcomes, particularly mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduction in defibrillator shocks with an implantable device combining antitachycardia pacing and shock therapy.
James W. Leitch,Anne M. Gillis,D. George Wyse,Raymond Yee,George Klein,Gerard M. Guiraudon,Robert S. Sheldon,Henry J. Duff,Teresa M. Kieser,L. Brent Mitchell +9 more
TL;DR: To determine if a device that provides both antitachycardia pacing and shock therapy can safely reduce the frequency of shocks after implantation, 46 consecutive patients undergoing initial implantation of a defibrillator were studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coronary artery bypass grafting: Part 2—optimizing outcomes and future prospects
Stuart J. Head,Jochen Börgermann,Ruben L.J. Osnabrugge,Teresa M. Kieser,Volkmar Falk,David P. Taggart,John D. Puskas,Jan Gummert,Arie Pieter Kappetein +8 more
TL;DR: This review provides an overview on how new techniques and widespread consideration of evolving strategies have the potential to optimize outcomes after CABG and summarizes the areas that need more rigorous clinical (randomized) evaluation.
