The outcome of reoperative pulmonary endarterectomy surgery [PDF]

open access: yesInteractive CardioVascular and Thoracic Surgery, 2018
OBJECTIVES: Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is the treatment of choice for patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (PH). Despite excellent outcomes following PEA, a small proportion of patients have residual proximal disease or present with recurrent chronic thromboembolic PH and may benefit from further surgery.

Ischaemic Optic Neuropathy After Cardiac Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Incidence and Risk Factors

open access: yesANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Across 11 observational studies comprising 6 471 577 patients, the pooled incidence of ischaemic optic neuropathy after cardiac surgery was approximately 1.5 cases per 10 000 procedures. Coronary artery disease, peripheral vascular disease and anaemia were associated with increased odds of ION, although these findings should be interpreted in the ...
