Assessment of cardiac risk in noncardiac surgery [PDF]
AbstractSurgical techniques have been refined so that complications directly resulting from surgical procedures are relatively small. However, with the high prevalence of coronary artery disease in the United States, many surgical patients have concomitant coronary artery disease.

Exploratory Laparotomy After Routine Cardiac Surgery: Results From 17,000 Patients
Exploratory laparotomy is rare after open‐heart surgery, and it was performed for gastrointestinal complications that occurred in the context of other severe postoperative complications. Several factors were associated with the need for exlap, including increasing age, pre‐existing renal and vascular disease, and pre‐ and post‐operative shock. ABSTRACT

Preoperative Screening at the Outpatient Clinic: Predicting cardiac risk in noncardiac surgery [PDF]
The first chapter of this thesis analyzes perioperative cardiovascular mortality in noncardiac surgery at the Erasmus Medical Center, Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The performance of Lee et al’s index in predicting perioperative cardiovascular mortality is

Prognostic capabilities of coronary computed tomographic angiography before non-cardiac surgery: Prospective cohort study [PDF]
Objectives To determine if coronary computed tomographic angiography enhances prediction of perioperative risk in patients before non-cardiac surgery and to assess the preoperative coronary anatomy in patients who experience a myocardial infarction after

Abstract Myocardial work and oxygen consumption (MVO2) are tightly coupled. The patient's physiological state, presence of disease, heart rate, and microvascular control of oxygen delivery all combine to maintain this relationship. The myocardial efficiency (MyoEff) of the heart is determined by the ratio of stroke‐work (SW) divided by MVO2, whereas ...

This study compared factors associated with postoperative delirium (POD) among the oldest–old surgical patients (aged ≥ 75 years) in a national US cohort (ACS‐NSQIP) and a single‐center Taiwanese cohort (TMUH). Among clinically evaluated patients, POD was associated with higher ASA physical status, abnormal serum albumin levels, and abnormal white ...

Statin intensity and postoperative mortality following open repair of intact abdominal aortic aneurysm. [PDF]
BackgroundThere is a lack of evidence for the association between intensive statin therapy and outcomes following vascular surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between perioperative statin intensity and in-hospital mortality ...

ABSTRACT Hemodynamic evaluation using four‐dimensional flow magnetic resonance imaging or computational fluid dynamics can identify a high‐risk phenotype in Kommerell's diverticulum, which is characterized by intradiverticular vortex formation, low wall shear stress, and elevated oscillatory shear index (OSI).
