Synthesis of POSS-Functionalized Polyisobutylene via Direct Initiation.

Macromolecular rapid communications

Hayat SoytaÅŸ S, Lim GT, Puskas JE.
PMID: 21638503
Macromol Rapid Commun. 2009 Dec 16;30(24):2112-5. doi: 10.1002/marc.200900493. Epub 2009 Nov 03.

POSS-functionalized polyisobutylenes (PIBs) were synthesized by carbocationic polymerization using an epoxy-POSS/TiCl(4) initiating system in hexane/methyl chloride (60:40 v/v) solvent mixture at -80 °C. (1) H NMR spectroscopy verified the incorporation of one epoxy-POSS per polymer chain. Light scattering and...

Propensity-score analysis of early outcomes after bilateral versus single internal thoracic artery grafting.

Innovations (Philadelphia, Pa.)

Pusca SV, Kilgo PD, Vega JD, Cooper WA, Vassiliades TA, Chen EP, Lattouf OM, Guyton RA, Puskas JD.
PMID: 22436718
Innovations (Phila). 2008 Jan;3(1):19-24. doi: 10.1097/IMI.0b013e31817067fb.

OBJECTIVE: : The use of bilateral internal thoracic arteries (BITAs) during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) improves long-term and event-free survival compared with single internal thoracic artery (SITA) grafting. It is controversial whether BITA grafting alters in-hospital adverse events...

Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting is Associated With Reduced Operative Mortality and In-Hospital Adverse Events in Patients With Left Main Coronary Artery Disease.

Innovations (Philadelphia, Pa.)

Sarin EL, Puskas JD, Kilgo PD, Thourani VH, Guyton RA, Lattouf OM.
PMID: 22436988
Innovations (Phila). 2009 Mar;4(2):80-5. doi: 10.1097/IMI.0b013e3181a20da6.

OBJECTIVE: : Left main coronary artery disease (LMD) is a known risk factor for perioperative complications. This study compares off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) versus on-pump coronary artery bypass (ONCAB) grafting, CABG, with respect to in-hospital death, stroke, myocardial...

Intraoperative epiaortic ultrasound scanning guides operative strategies and identifies patients at high risk during coronary artery bypass grafting.

Innovations (Philadelphia, Pa.)

Lyons JM, Thourani VH, Puskas JD, Kilgo PD, Baio KT, Guyton RA, Lattouf OM.
PMID: 22436990
Innovations (Phila). 2009 Mar;4(2):99-105. doi: 10.1097/IMI.0b013e3181a3476f.

OBJECTIVE: : Epiaortic ultrasound (EU) reliably reveals ascending aortic atherosclerosis (AAA), allowing strategies to minimize the risk of embolization or plaque disruption during coronary artery bypass grafting. Our objective was to delineate if EU-guided intervention improved outcomes.METHODS: : Patients...
