Chylothorax following median sternotomy [PDF]

Clinical Cardiology, 1996
AbstractReports of chylothorax (CT) following median sternotomy are rare, amounting so far to 16 cases in the English literature, of which 6 were cases of postcoronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). This report deals with an additional case of a 70‐year‐old woman who developed left pleural chylous effusion following CABG.

Hemocompatibility and Long‐Term Outcomes in HeartWare Versus HeartMate II Versus HeartMate 3: Multicenter Real‐World Cohort

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Multicenter real‐world cohort (n = 327) comparing LVADs: HeartMate 3 (HM3), HeartMate II (HMII), and HeartWare (HVAD). HM3 showed superior long‐term survival versus legacy devices, driven by fewer hemocompatibility‐related adverse events, especially pump thrombosis and ischemic stroke, while major bleeding was similar across devices.

Bioengineering Approaches and Novel Biomaterials to Enhance Sternal Wound Healing after Cardiac Surgery: A Crosstalk between Innovation and Surgical Practice

Journal of Functional Biomaterials
Median sternotomy and steel wires for sternal closure are the standard approach for cardiac surgery. An incomplete repair associated with chest wall motion, especially in the presence of predisposing factors, can lead to life-threatening deep sternal ...

Bridging aortic valve surgery to 21st century. what can a surgeon do [PDF]

, 2019
Aortic valve stenosis is the most clinically relevant valvular heart disease in the elderlies. Surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) represented, for decades, the standard of care for the treatment of severe aortic stenosis.

Comparative Analysis of Pressure Drop (Δp): Hemodynamic Performance of Three Commercial Oxygenators During Cardiopulmonary Bypass

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
In this prospective study, a total of 60 patients were divided into three groups of 20 to compare the pressure drop (Δp) across three different oxygenators during cardiopulmonary bypass. The aim of this comparison was to enable evidence‐based optimization of the heart‐lung machine setup in order to minimize potential influencing factors and thereby ...

Ministernotomy in myocardial revascularization preserves postoperative pulmonary function [PDF]

, 2010
BACKGROUND: In coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, the need to perform a midsternotomy has been considered a factor for the decrease in postoperative pulmonary function.

Pharmacological inhibition of hydroxysteroid 11‐beta dehydrogenase type 1 (11‐βHSD1) after myocardial infarction preserves cardiac function in a translational mini‐pig model

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Plasma glucocorticoids increase acutely after MI, thereafter tissue levels are amplified selectively within cells expressing 11‐ßhydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11‐ßHSD1) that regenerates active glucocorticoids from circulating metabolites.

‘You can't have an ego in this game’: A simulation primed qualitative inquiry of team reflection in paediatrics

Medical Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Acute care paediatric teams face ambiguous, dynamic patient care situations that demand adaptability to avoid patient harm. Team huddles and adaptation processes have shown promise in mitigating risk and reducing harm. One team process that may occur in huddles is team reflection (TR), defined as a team's capacity to consciously ...
