Torsten Doenst,Axel Haverich,Patrick W. Serruys,Robert O. Bonow,Pieter Kappetein,Volkmar Falk,Eric J. Velazquez,Anno Diegeler,Holger H. Sigusch +8 more
TL;DR: CABG may differ from PCI by providing "surgical collateralization," prolonging life by preventing myocardial infarction by providing flow distal to vessel occlusions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Donat R. Spahn,Felix Schoenrath,Gabriela H. Spahn,Burkhardt Seifert,Philipp Stein,Oliver M. Theusinger,Alexander Kaserer,Inga Hegemann,Axel Hofmann,Axel Hofmann,Francesco Maisano,Volkmar Falk +11 more
TL;DR: An ultra-short-term combination treatment with intravenous iron, subcutaneous erythropoietin alpha, vitamin B12, and oral folic acid reduced RBC and total allogeneic blood product transfusions in patients with preoperative anaemia or isolated iron deficiency undergoing elective cardiac surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of stenting with minimally invasive bypass surgery for stenosis of the left anterior descending coronary artery.
Anno Diegeler,Holger Thiele,Volkmar Falk,Rainer Hambrecht,Niki Spyrantis,Peter Sick,Klaus Diederich,Friedrich W. Mohr,Gerhard Schuler +8 more
TL;DR: This Randomized trials comparing stenting with minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass surgery in patients with isolated proximal left anterior descending lesions have shown a significantly higher reintervention rate for stenting and similar results for mortality and reinfarction at short-term follow-up.
Journal ArticleDOI
Humoral immune response during coronary artery bypass grafting: A comparison of limited approach, "off-pump" technique, and conventional cardiopulmonary bypass.
Anno Diegeler,Nicolas Doll,Thomas Rauch,Dorothea Haberer,Thomas Walther,Volkmar Falk,Jan Gummert,Rüdiger Autschbach,Friedrich-Wilhelm Mohr +8 more
TL;DR: There is an inflammatory, as well as an anti-inflammatory, response during CABG that is related to the general surgical trauma and the release of immune mediators is enhanced by the use of CPB during various perioperative and postoperative phases.
