Surgical Procedures for Patients Receiving Mechanical Cardiac Support
The American Surgeon™, 2011Mechanical cardiac support devices are used for patients with cardiopulmonary failure. We reviewed our institutional experience with noncardiac surgical procedures (NCPs) in patients supported by ventricular assist devices (VADs, n = 198) or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO, n = 165) between July 1998 and June 2010.

Outcomes of Simultaneous Liver Transplantation and Elective Cardiac Surgical Procedures
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2011Many centers are reticent to list patients for liver transplantation until coexistent cardiac disease is surgically corrected. Previous studies have documented considerable morbidity and mortality in liver failure patients undergoing cardiac operations. This study examined whether elective cardiac operations at the time of hepatic transplantation would

A Comparison of Two Skin Preps Used in Cardiac Surgical Procedures
AORN Journal, 1995ABSTRACTPostoperative surgical site infections contribute significantly to increased patient morbidity and mortality rates and unnecessary hospital costs. Effective and efficient preoperative patient skin preparation is an important perioperative nursing intervention that decreases the number of wound contaminants and reduces the risks for ...

Cardiac Risk in Noncardiac Surgical Procedures-Reply
Archives of Internal Medicine, 1987—Hochman and Lumb have raised an important point concerning the stability of likelihood ratios across various surgical procedures. Likelihood ratios, like the related properties of sensitivity and specificity, are usually assumed to be stable across populations with different pretest probabilities.

The risk of infective endocarditis after cardiac surgical and interventional procedures
European Heart Journal, 1995The risk of infective endocarditis after cardiac surgery relates mainly to the risk of infective endocarditis on prosthetic valves. The frequency of prosthetic infective endocarditis varies according to the criteria used in the literature, ranging from 0.4 to 1.3% for early infective endocarditis, with an annual linear risk of late infective ...

Complications of Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgical Procedures
Seminars in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 1999All surgical and anesthetic procedures convey some degree of risk. New procedures in cardiac surgery are being developed for which patterns of complications are just beginning to emerge. The experience with minimally invasive direct coronary bypass, transmyocar dial laser revascularization, and Port-Access cardiac surgery is reviewed with emphasis on ...

Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Cardiac Reintervention After Pediatric Cardiac Surgical Procedures
The Annals of Thoracic SurgeryChildren undergoing cardiac surgical procedures may require postoperative surgical or catheter-based reintervention before discharge. We examined racial/ethnic variations in reintervention and associated in-hospital death.Children undergoing cardiac surgical procedures from 2004 to 2015 were identified in the Pediatric Health Information Systems (PHIS)
