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 ...

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.

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 ...

Impact of staff turnover during cardiac surgical procedures

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2021
The impact of staff turnover during cardiac procedures is unknown. Accurate inventory of sharps (needles/blades) requires attention by surgical teams, and sharp count errors result in delays, can lead to retained foreign objects, and may signify communication breakdown.

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 ...

Cardiac Surgical Procedures Following Myocardial Infarction

Cardiology Clinics, 1995
Advances in myocardial preservation have made possible operative intervention early post-myocardial infarction or in the face of an evolving myocardial infarction. Results are dictated by preoperative factors primarily related to the ravages of low flow state. Resuscitation of the myocardium is possible under the vast majority of circumstances.

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%.
