Significance of Positive Mediastinal Cultures in Pediatric Cardiovascular Surgical Procedure Patients Undergoing Delayed Sternal Closure

open access: closedThe Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2014
Many pediatric cardiac surgery centers obtain mediastinal cultures at the time of delayed sternal closure (DSC). There are no recommendations regarding how to treat patients with positive cultures. We explored the clinical significance of positive mediastinal cultures with regard to surgical site infections (SSI).A retrospective study was performed on ...

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

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 ...
