Atrial fibrillation occurring early after cardiovascular surgery: impact of the surgical procedure

open access: closedSurgery Today, 2012
Postoperative atrial fibrillation/flutter (AF) is still the most common complication after cardiovascular surgery, and it is important to determine the risk factors in order to establish effective management for recent postoperative AF. This study investigated the clinical predictors of postoperative AF using a prospectively collected database.A total ...

Metabolic surgery ameliorates cardiovascular risk in obese diabetic patients: Influence of different surgical procedures

open access: closedSurgery for Obesity and Related Diseases, 2018
In recent years, bariatric surgery was found to have therapeutic potential for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in severely obese patients (body mass index [BMI] ≥35 kg/m2) and to reduce cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and mortality. However, the benefit of CVD risk reduction after metabolic surgery in nonseverely obese T2D patients (BMI

Perioperative stroke-related mortality after non-cardiovascular, non-neurological procedures: A retrospective risk factor evaluation of common surgical comorbidities

open access: closedJournal of Perioperative Practice, 2020
Background Perioperative stroke-related mortality in the non-cardiovascular, non-neurological surgery population is an uncommon, yet devastating outcome. A combination of emboli and hypoperfusion may cause large vessel occlusions leading to perioperative strokes and mortality.

Predictive value of Candida colonization index in 131 patients undergoing two different cardiovascular surgical procedures.

open access: closedThe Journal of cardiovascular surgery, 2001
Nosocomial candidemia is an important infection because of its increasing incidence and its high fatality rate. Candidiasis involves multiple risk factors. In this work, we study the degree of Candida colonization in cardiovascular surgical patients by taking into account the number of sites colonized and the density of growth.Eleven (11) selected ...
