Cardiothoracic Surgery and Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Clinical research activity is centered on patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting for stable coronary artery disease and chronic coronary syndrome, with attention to postoperative graft patency and graft failure.
- Post-CABG care
- Arterial and venous graft outcomes
- Revascularization in chronic coronary syndrome
The research setting reflects a focused interest in surgical cardiovascular care for patients requiring multiple grafts.
Antiplatelet Therapy in Ischemic Heart Disease
Funded trials examine antiplatelet treatment strategies after bypass surgery, including the use of aspirin and prasugrel in relation to prevention of graft occlusion.
- Aspirin-based regimens
- P2Y12 inhibition
- Secondary prevention after revascularization
The therapeutic emphasis lies in optimizing platelet inhibition for patients with established coronary disease following surgical revascularization.
Postoperative Vascular Protection
Research interest extends to early postoperative protection of bypass grafts, with a focus on reducing thrombotic complications during the period immediately after surgery.
- Early graft protection
- Thrombotic event prevention
- Long-term graft durability
This area connects perioperative cardiovascular management with preservation of surgical revascularization results.
