Off-pump surgery for the poor ventricle? [PDF]
Severely decreased ejection-fraction is an established risk-factor for worse outcome after cardiac surgery. We compare outcomes of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) and on-pump CABG (ONCABG) in patients with severely compromised EF.

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

Summary Introduction Uncertainty remains regarding whether the time of day that cardiac surgery is performed affects postoperative outcomes or if the observed variation can be explained by patient or surgical factors. Methods A secondary analysis of prospectively collected data was conducted to examine the association between time of cardiac surgery ...

Postoperative Sleep Interventions and Cardiac Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
ABSTRACT Introduction Sleep disturbance is a common issue affecting nearly 78% of cardiothoracic postoperative patients. There are no systematic reviews of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluate the impact of sleep interventions within this population.

Hemodynamics optimization during off-pump coronary artery bypass: the ‘no compression' technique [PDF]
Objective: Heart manipulation during OPCAB may cause hemodynamical instability in particular for access to the posterior and lateral walls. The ‘no compression' technique involves enucleation of the heart without any compression on the cavities, and ...

Abstract Purpose Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a frequent long‐term complication of diabetes. While hemodynamic changes are known risk factors for DR, the effect of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) on the development of DR is poorly investigated.
