CABG / Cardiac Surgery
Across
- 2. bypass Surgical procedure that reroutes blood around coronary obstruction
- 4. valve Artificial valve requiring ongoing anticoagulation
- 8. Surgical connection between vessels or structures
- 9. Resistance the ventricle must overcome to eject blood
- 11. thoracic artery Arterial vessel commonly used as a CABG graft
- 12. Amount of ventricular filling before contraction
- 14. Method used to intentionally stop cardiac activity during surgery
- 15. valve Tissue-based prosthetic heart valve
- 16. Cardiac surgery performed using cardiopulmonary bypass
- 17. Dilution of blood that occurs during cardiopulmonary bypass
Down
- 1. vein Common vessel used as a CABG graft
- 2. output Amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute
- 3. Surgery that creates a new route around blocked coronary arteries
- 5. Administration of heparin to prevent clotting during cardiopulmonary bypass
- 6. volume Amount of blood ejected by a ventricle with each heartbeat
- 7. Strength of cardiac muscle contraction
- 10. bypass Machine that temporarily circulates and oxygenates blood during cardiac surgery
- 13. Cooling used during cardiac surgery to decrease metabolic demand
