From MIDCAB to OPCAB: a Race Back to the Future

Abstract:
A trend towards less invasive operations has affected the surgical specialties for the past 10 years. Cardiac surgery had been the slowest subspeciaIty to move in this direction, but in 1995 enthusiasm for "minimally invasive" cardiac operations began to grow. Since the initial report by Acuff published in 1996, minimally invasive coronary bypass surgery has developed and undergone a tremendous evolution resulting in the now mature minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) operation, as well as the still evolving off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) procedure. The success of MIDCAB has led surgeons to look at past procedures to help develop future multivessel coronary operations.

Crossing Over
The homologous pairs of sister chromosomes—one from the maternal and one from the paternal genome—then begin to align alongside each other lengthwise, matching corresponding DNA positions in a process called synapsis.

Midrange
Simply put, the midrange is half of the data set’s range. Similar to the mean, the midrange is sensitive to the extreme values and hence the prospective outliers. However, unlike the mean, the midrange is not sensitive to all the values of the data set that lie in the middle. Thus, it is prone to outliers and...
