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.

Outcomes of Simultaneous Liver Transplantation and Elective Cardiac Surgical Procedures

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2011
Many 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-Type and B-Type Natriuretic Peptides in Cardiac Surgical Procedures

Anesthesia & Analgesia, 2004
This study was performed to determine the secretion pattern and prognostic value of A-type (ANP) and B-type (BNP) natriuretic peptide in patients undergoing cardiac surgical procedures. We measured ANP and BNP in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with (n = 28) or without (n = 32) ventricular dysfunction and in patients ...

The risk of infective endocarditis after cardiac surgical and interventional procedures

European Heart Journal, 1995
The 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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Cardiac Reintervention After Pediatric Cardiac Surgical Procedures

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery
Children 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)
