The Twenty-Fifth Annual Controversies, Problems & Techniques Symposium is designed to help the practicing surgeon in evaluating standards of care and new techniques/interventions in gastrointestinal surgery. It is dedicated to identifying the relative strengths and weaknesses, advantages and drawbacks, of each approach. Medical Literature Highlights Abstract/News from Medical Journals Heeding the Sign of Increased CK-MB Level After Bypass Surgery Background: Although it has been suggested that elevation of CK-MB after percutaneous coronary intervention is associated with adverse clinical outcomes, limited data are available in the setting of coronary bypass grafting. The aim of the present study was to determine the incidence, predictors, and prognostic significance of CK-MB elevation following multivessel coronary bypass grafting (CABG). continue More T-Cell Flow Cytometry Crossmatch Strongly Linked to Allograft Rejection Combined Surgical Technique Shows Promise for Coexisting Carotid/Coronary Artery Disease Risk for Hypertension Postoperatively Increased With Eversion Endarterectomy	The Controversies, Problems and Techniques in Surgery Web Site is supported in part by a generous grant from Covidien.
