Sex Differences in the Utilization and Outcomes of Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement for Severe Aortic Stenosis

Studies assessing the differential impact of sex on outcomes of aortic valve replacement (AVR) yielded conflicting results. We sought to investigate sex-related differences in AVR utilization, patient risk profile, and in-hospital outcomes using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample.

Transcatheter or Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients with Advanced Kidney Disease: A Propensity Score-Matched Analysis

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is an alternative for surgically inoperable patients with severe aortic stenosis. Advanced kidney disease may significantly affect outcomes in patients treated with TAVR and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR).

Association Between Platelet Count and Postoperative Blood Loss in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery With Cardiopulmonary Bypass and Fresh Frozen Plasma Administration Guided by Thromboelastometry

Coagulopathy after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is caused by multiple factors, including reduced coagulation factors and a low platelet count.

Thromboelastography for Predicting Bleeding in Patients with Aortic Stenosis Treated with TAVI

Bleeding complications are frequent and independently impact mortality after TAVI. Thromboelastography (TEG) measures viscoelastic properties of clot formation and is currently best known for perioperative management to reduce blood transfusion in cardiac surgery.

Risk Factors of On-Pump Conversion during Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft

Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) procedures can avoid the complications of an on-pump bypass. However, some cases unexpectedly require conversion to cardiopulmonary bypass during OPCABG.

Point-of-Care Washing of Allogeneic Red Blood Cells for the Prevention of Transfusion-Related Respiratory Complications (WAR-PRC): A Protocol for a Multicenter Randomised Clinical Trial in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery

Point-of-care (POC) washing of allogeneic RBCs may remove biological response modifiers (BRMs), thereby mitigating their impact on post-transfusion respiratory complications.

Use of a Flowable Haemostat Versus an Oxidised Regenerated Cellulose Agent in Primary Elective Cardiac Surgery: Economic Impact from a UK Healthcare Perspective

We investigated the economic impact of the use of a flowable haemostatic agent (Floseal) compared with non-flowable oxidised regenerated cellulose (ORC) agent in primary elective cardiac surgeryfrom the perspective of the UK National Health Service (NHS).

Del Nido Cardioplegia: A One Stop Shot for Adult Cardiac Surgery

Although it was initially developed for congenital heart surgery, del Nido cardioplegia (DN) has recently gained widespread attention in adult cardiac surgery.

Single Dose Del Nido Cardioplegia in Minimally Invasive Aortic Valve Surgery

Del Nido cardioplegia (DC) offers prolonged cardiac protection with single dose administration and has been shown to be safe in adult CABG surgery. We set out to evaluate the efficacy of cardiac protection and clinical outcomes of del Nido cardioplegiaversus standard blood cardioplegia (BC) in minimally invasive aortic valve surgery.
