Coronary artery grafting in infants [PDF]

, 2009
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with cardiac vale repair is an uncommon surgery in infants. CABG is technically demanding in infants due to the small size not only of the coronary arteries but also the potential graft arteries.

A comparison of sequential total and activated white cell count in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting, using cardiopulmonary bypass, with and without a white cell filter

, 1999
Introduction Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has been shown to induce a systemic inflammatory response similar to the local reaction seen after tissue damage [1].

Cardiac magnetic resonance findings predict increased resource utilization in elective coronary artery bypass grafting [PDF]

, 2008
Morbidity following CABG (coronary artery bypass grafting) is difficult to predict and leads to increased healthcare costs. We hypothesized that pre-operative CMR (cardiac magnetic resonance) findings would predict resource utilization in elective CABG ...

Efficacy of Cerebral Embolic Protection Device in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is widely used to treat severe aortic stenosis; however, periprocedural stroke remains a significant concern. This systematic review and meta‐analysis evaluate whether the use of cerebral embolic protection devices (CEPDs) during TAVR reduces the risk of stroke and other complications. To conduct a

Levosimendan for patients with severely reduced left ventricular systolic function and/or low cardiac output syndrome undergoing cardiac surgery. a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Previous studies have shown beneficial effects of levosimendan in high-risk patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Two large randomized controlled trials (RCTs), however, showed no advantages of levosimendan.

Aortic Dissection With Pseudoaneurysm Formation Masquerading as Pulmonary Embolism After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a commonly performed procedure for the treatment of severe aortic stenosis. While it is generally considered a low‐risk procedure, one of the rare potentially life‐threatening complications includes aortic dissection.

In‐Hospital Outcomes of Simultaneous and Staged Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement and Endovascular Aneurysm Repair

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Patients with aortic aneurysms are at elevated risk of rupture, dissection and death during and after transcatheter aortic valve repair (TAVR), often requiring consideration for endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) at the time of TAVR. However, data comparing outcomes of simultaneous versus staged TAVR‐EVAR are limited.
