Research Publications
Our primary focus at The Baird Institute is to encourage and fund research to improve the surgical outcomes and quality of life for patients facing heart or lung surgery. The funds we raise go directly to research that improves the surgical procedures associated with heart and lung surgery. Improvements can include less intrusive procedures as well as techniques that improve survival rates.
Below you will find a list of publications that our surgeons and research fellows have been involved in writing.

Use of multi-velocity encoding 4D flow MRI to improve quantification of flow patterns in the aorta
Callaghan FM, Kozor R, Sherrah AG, Vallely M, Celermajer D, Figtree GA, Grieve SM J Magn Reson Imaging 2015 Jun; PMID: 26130421 Abstract PURPOSE: To show that the use of a multi-velocity encoding (VENC) 4D-flow approach offers significant improvements in the characterization of complex flow in the aorta. Four-dimensional flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (4D-flow)…

Pig model gets to the dogma
Bannon PG, Qasabian R, Byrom MJ J. Thorac. Cardiovasc. Surg. 2015 May; PMID: 26119514 Abstract
Comparison of the Safety and Efficacy of On-Pump (ONCAB) versus Off-Pump (OPCAB) Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery in the Elderly: A Review of the ANZSCTS database
Dhurandhar V, Saxena A, Parikh R, Vallely MP, Wilson MK, Butcher JK, Black DA, Tran L, Reid CM, Bannon PG Heart Lung Circ 2015 May; PMID: 26067551 Abstract BACKGROUND: The elderly population (age >70 years) incurs greater mortality and morbidity following CABG. OPCAB may mitigate these otucomes. A retrospective analysis of the results of OPCAB…
