Cardiac Surgical Procedures Following Myocardial Infarction
Cardiology Clinics, 1995Advances 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, 1998Severe 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%.

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.

[Thoracoscopic cardiac surgical procedures: a report of 674 cases].
Zhonghua wai ke za zhi [Chinese journal of surgery], 2007To evaluate the efficacy and safety of thoracoscopic cardiac surgical procedures under extracorporeal circulation.From May 2000 to May 2006, 674 patients received thoracoscopic cardiac surgery under extracorporeal circulation. These procedures included atrial septal defect occlusion for 238 patients, ventricular septal defect occlusion for 380 patients

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 ...

Mediastinitis After More Than 10,000 Cardiac Surgical Procedures
The 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Rationale and Surgical Techniques for Emerging Procedures in Cardiac Surgery
Seminars in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 1999New techniques continue to emerge in cardiac surgery. This article reviews the history, rationale, techniques, and controversies regarding a variety of novel ap proaches to minimally invasive chest surgery. The suc cess of video-assisted thoracoscopy heralded the mod ern era of these techniques and also serves to illustrate its limitations.

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2004
Previous studies defining perioperative risk factors for allogeneic transfusion requirements in cardiac surgery were limited to highly selected cardiac surgery populations or were associated with high transfusion rates. The purpose of this study was to determine perioperative risk factors and create a formula to predict transfusion requirements for ...
