Aortic Assessment for Cardiac Surgical Procedures

Seminars in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2006
Aortic atheromatous disease is associated with stroke in both the ambulatory and perioperative setting. In addition to atheromatous deposits, a reduction in the compliance of the aorta takes place as elastin fibers are replaced by collagen fibers. Both of these distinct processes, termed atherosclerosis, can easily be measured using transesophageal ...

Combined cardiac surgical procedures in octogenarians: operative outcome

Clinical Research in Cardiology, 2008
The number of patients with an indication for cardiac surgery in their ninth decade of life is increasing. This study analyses the single-center results with combined and redo cardiac surgical procedures in octogenarians retrospectively.Three groups were evaluated: (I) Two hundred and thirty six patients with combined cardiac surgical procedures, mean ...

Mediastinitis After More Than 10,000 Cardiac Surgical Procedures

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2006
Poststernotomy mediastinitis as a complication is rare but disastrous. We assessed incidence, predisposing factors for, and outcome from, mediastinitis after cardiac surgery.We studied 10,713 consecutive patients who underwent open-heart surgery from 1990 to 1999 in a tertiary care university hospital using data prospectively recorded in the hospital ...

Ethical considerations during a pioneering surgical procedure: porcine cardiac xenotransplantation

British Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2022
Preclinical advances in life-sustaining porcine cardiac xenotransplantation from donor pigs to baboons have paved the way for the performance of porcine cardiac xenotransplantation in a human. This procedure was performed with emergency use authorisation granted by the United States Food and Drug Administration under the umbrella of investigational new

Surgical Procedures for Patients Receiving Mechanical Cardiac Support

The American Surgeon™, 2011
Mechanical 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.

Combined carotid and cardiac procedures: improved results and surgical approach

Cardiovascular Surgery, 1998
Severe cerebrovascular complications following cardiac surgical procedures remain a major concern, particularly in patients with significant carotid atherosclerotic involvement (14% of perioperative stroke). Operative mortality for carotid operations in patients with documented Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) may be as high as 20%.

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.

Complications of Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgical Procedures

Seminars in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 1999
All 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 ...

Cardiac Surgical Procedures in Patients with Cirrhosis

2017
Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with higher mortality and morbidity in patients with cirrhosis. Child–Pugh (CP) classification and model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score help stratify risk in patients who need cardiac surgery.

Concomitant vs staged orthotopic liver transplant after cardiac surgical procedures

Transplantation Reviews, 2019
In patients who require orthotopic liver transplant (OLT), cardiac surgery may be needed to optimize preoperative cardiac status for OLT. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate patient characteristics and outcomes of those undergoing staged versus concomitant cardiac procedures with OLT.An electronic search was performed to identify all case
