Insights

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a common procedure, but rarely performed in patients over 90. This report details the successful management of a 105-year-old patient undergoing CABG.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Geriatric Cardiology

Background:

  • Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a standard surgical intervention for coronary artery disease.
  • Cardiac surgery is increasingly performed in elderly populations, including octogenarians.

Observation:

  • Literature reports of CABG in patients aged over 90 years are scarce.
  • A 105-year-old patient presented for coronary artery bypass grafting.

Findings:

  • The management strategy for a 105-year-old patient undergoing CABG was successfully implemented.
  • This case represents one of the oldest patients reported to have undergone successful CABG.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of surgical feasibility and management in extremely elderly patients requiring CABG.
  • Highlights the potential for advanced cardiac surgical interventions in nonagenarians and centenarians.

Cardiomyopathy VII: Pre and Post Operative Nursing Management

Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction who remain symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy may undergo a septal myectomy (Morrow procedure). This procedure involves excising a portion of the hypertrophied septum below the aortic valve using a heart-lung machine to improve blood flow through the LVOT. Effective preoperative and postoperative nursing management ensures successful patient outcomes, minimizes complications, and...

Interprofessional care for coronary artery disease includes pharmacological therapy and revascularization procedures.Pharmacological therapy for Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) aims to manage symptoms, prevent complications, and improve patient outcomes through various classes of medications:Antiplatelet Agents:Aspirin and Clopidogrel: These medications inhibit platelet aggregation, preventing blood clots, which is crucial for avoiding heart attacks and strokes. Doctors often prescribe these...
