Complication of cardiac surgery
Forensic Science, 1975With the increasing use of surgical procedures in cases of heart disease it was decided to review the more common complications of cardiac surgery including pre-operative investigations, based on 17 years experience of autopsies on fatal cases. The problems associated with valve replacement and coronary artery bypass grafting are dealt with in ...

The subject of cardiac reoperation in general has been infrequently discussed in the medical literature and has not yet appeared in the nursing literature. Yet reoperation presents a real challenge, accentuating some problems that are also associated with primary cases and posing some considerations that are unique to the reoperative situation.

The beginning of cardiac surgery
British Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2007This year marks the 110th anniversary of the first successful operation on the heart. Over the centuries, from the time of Galen, wounds of the heart were considered fatal. With the advent of anaesthesia and of antiseptic surgery, the latter part of the 19th century saw an explosion in the surgery of the abdominal cavity, of the chest, skull and the ...

Anesthesiology Clinics of North America, 2003
The increased operative mortality and morbidity of women compared with men undergoing CABG surgery results from multiple differences in presentation, preoperative risk profile, and surgical factors. Investigators have found consistently that women present with a different preoperative risk profile than do men.

Clinical Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2009
The need for cardiac surgery during pregnancy is rare. Only 1% to 4% of pregnancies are complicated by maternal cardiac disease and most of these can be managed with medical therapy and lifestyle changes. On occasion, whether owing to natural progression of the underlying cardiac disease or precipitated by the cardiovascular changes of pregnancy ...

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1993
Cardiac arrhythmia surgery has changed dramatically in the past several years, as indicated by the articles published during the past year dealing with the surgical treatment of supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias. With the increasing use of radiofrequnecy ablation for the treatment of arrhythmias, the Maze procedure for the cure of atrial ...

Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy, 2006
Aprotinin is a naturally occurring serine protease inhibitor that is being used with increasing frequency in cardiac surgery and beyond to reduce blood loss and the need for perioperative blood transfusion. Through inhibition of serine proteases such as plasmin, aprotinin significantly reduces fibrinolysis, thereby aiding hemostasis during surgical ...

Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2000
Myxomas, particularly left-atrial myxomas, are the most common primary tumors of the heart that cardiac surgeons will be called upon to remove. Although some tumors are discovered incidentally during echocardiographic examination, many produce symptoms caused by the release of inflammatory cytokines, obstruction to intracardiac blood flow, and/or ...

The Evolution of Cardiac Surgery
Archives of Surgery, 1993The Evolution of Cardiac Surgery is the magnum opus of a man who has lived through and participated in the entire period of the so-called modern era of heart surgery. This is and will long remain the reference source for those entering the field of cardiac surgery or reviewing any part thereof. It is also of interest to historians.
