Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (OPCAB)

Coronary artery bypass surgery is traditionally performed with cardiopulmonary bypass. The heart-lung machine allows the heart to be stopped, so that the surgeon can operate on a surface which is blood-free and still. The heart-lung machine maintains life despite the lack of a heartbeat, removing carbon dioxide from the blood and replacing it with oxygen before…

Collagen Dressings

Collagen dressings are dressings that are derived from animal sources, such as bovine, equine, or porcine sources. The collagen helps to promote the growth of new collagen at the wound site, prompting a speedier recovery period. These provide a natural scaffolding for new tissue growth. They can be used on a wide array of wound types to assist with healing.

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)

Coronary artery bypass surgery is a treatment for patients with coronary artery disease. It restores normal blood flow to the heart by creating a bypass around the blocked arteries. The bypass is done using a healthy blood vessel, or graft, that creates a new pathway for carrying blood to the heart.

Coronary Angioplasty

Coronary angioplasty is used to open clogged heart arteries. Angioplasty uses a tiny balloon catheter that is inserted in a blocked blood vessel to help widen it and improve blood flow to the heart. Angioplasty can improve symptoms of blocked arteries, such as chest pain and shortness of breath.
