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 ...

Multifactorial Index of Cardiac Risk in Noncardiac Surgical Procedures
New England Journal of Medicine, 1977To determine which preoperative factors might affect the development of cardiac complications after major noncardiac operations, we prospectively studied 1001 patients over 40 years of age. By multivariate discriminant analysis, we identified nine independent significant correlates of life-threatening and fatal cardiac complications: preoperative third

Mediastinitis After More Than 10,000 Cardiac Surgical Procedures
Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2006Poststernotomy 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 ...

Cardiac Surgical Procedures in Patients with Cirrhosis
, 2017Cardiac 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.

Predictors of ARF after cardiac surgical procedures.
American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 2003In a pilot study, a low preoperative serum ferritin level predicted increased risk for acute renal failure (ARF) after cardiopulmonary bypass. It was hypothesized that this may reflect a decreased ability to bind free iron and defend against oxidative stress. However, the pilot study was performed in a small number of patients (n = 30) operated on by a

A Risk-Benefit Assessment of Aprotinin in Cardiac Surgical Procedures
Drug Safety, 1998Aprotinin, a naturally occurring serine protease inhibitor, has found widespread application during cardiac surgical procedures as a consequence of its ability to decrease blood loss and transfusion requirements. While its efficacy in a variety of clinical situations associated with increased risk of blood loss has been well established, at the same ...

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%.
