No Association Between Donor Age and Recipient Outcomes: Transfusion of Plasma in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery
Associations between age of blood product donors and corresponding outcomes in recipients have not been studied in humans. Therefore, our primary objective was to examine this relationship between donor age and recipient outcomes among patients that received plasma during and after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery.
Incidence of Hemolysis in Patients with Cardiogenic Shock Treated with Impella Percutaneous Left Ventricular Assist Device
Impella assist devices have been increasingly used in cardiogenic shock (CS).
Incidence of Hemolysis in Patients with Cardiogenic Shock Treated with Impella Percutaneous Left Ventricular Assist Device
Impella assist devices have been increasingly used in cardiogenic shock (CS).
Cardioplegic or Fibrillatory Arrest for Correction of Partial and Intermediate Atrioventricular Septal Defects?
Certain congenital cardiac surgeries can be performed in ventricular fibrillation (Vfib) as an alternative to cardioplegic arrest.
Short-term outcomes in adult cardiac surgery in the use of del Nido cardioplegia solution
Del Nido cardioplegia in adult cardiac surgery has not been studied although it has been in common use as a “single” dose cardioplegia in pediatric heart surgery.
Incidence of Hemolysis in Patients with Cardiogenic Shock Treated with Impella Percutaneous Left Ventricular Assist Device
Impella assist devices have been increasingly used in cardiogenic shock (CS).
Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in pediatric ovarian tumors: a novel treatment approach
Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) have been used in adults with ovarian carcinoma proving overall survival benefit in randomized trials, but measured in months.
Acute Kidney Injury in Cardiorenal Syndrome Type 1 Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
We evaluated the epidemiology and outcome of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with cardiorenal syndrome type 1 (CRS-1) and its subgroups: acute heart failure (AHF), acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and after cardiac surgery (CS).
The SYNTAX Score is Correlated with Long-Term Outcomes of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting for Complex Coronary Artery Lesions
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between the SYNTAX score and long-term major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) including all-cause death, stroke, myocardial infarction (MI) and repeat revascularization after CABG.
Preoperative Low Serum Bicarbonate Levels Predict Acute Kidney Injury After Cardiac Surgery
Acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery is a common and serious complication. Although lower than normal serum bicarbonate levels are known to be associated with consecutive renal function deterioration in patients with chronic kidney injury, it is not well-known whether preoperative low serum bicarbonate levels are associated with the development of AKI in patients who undergo cardiac surgery.
Prognostic Implications of Acute Renal Failure after Surgery for Type A Acute Aortic Dissection
"Type A" acute aortic dissection (AAAD) is the most challenging among the emergency operations in cardiac surgery. The aim of this study was the evaluation of the role of acute renal failure (ARF) in postoperative survival of patients operated for AAAD.
Protection of Remote Ischemic Preconditioning Against Acute Kidney Injury: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is a promising approach to preventing acute kidney injury (AKI), but its efficacy is controversial.
