Cardiac surgery in the octogenarian

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1986
Seventy-six consecutive patients, aged 80 to 89 (mean 82), underwent cardiac operations with cardiopulmonary bypass. Hypothermia (22 degrees C) and hyperkalemic cardioplegia were used in each. There were 35 men and 41 women. Thirteen patients (17%) were in New York Heart Association Functional Class III and 62 patients (81%) were in Class IV ...

Cardiac Organoid Model Inspired Micro‐Robot Smart Patch to Treat Myocardial Infarction

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The heart organoid model exhibits the acidic microenvironment characteristic of myocardial infarction, which emerges as a pivotal force propelling the movement of micro‐robots. These micro‐robots, administered through microneedles, can penetrate deep into the tissue, effectively delivering therapeutic payloads to facilitate heart repair.

Antifibrinolytics in cardiac surgery

Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia, 2013
Cardiac surgery exerts a significant strain on the blood bank services and is a model example in which a multi-modal blood-conservation strategy is recommended. Significant bleeding during cardiac surgery, enough to cause re-exploration and/or blood transfusion, increases morbidity and mortality.
