The Short Term Effects of Cardiopulmonary Bypass on Neurologic Function in Children and Young Adults
There are no marked adverse neurologic effects of CPB in school-age children and young adults undergoing non-complex open-heart surgery.
Does Clopidogrel Increase Blood Loss Following Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
Clopidogrel within 4 days of coronary bypass surgery is associated with increased blood losses and reoperation for bleeding and, according to multivariable models, is an independent risk factor for increased transfusion requirements and prolonged ICU and hospital length of stay.
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation is Superior to Right Ventricular Assist Device for Acute Right Ventricular Failure After Heart Transplantation
In view of these results, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation seems to be the better option as mechanical circulatory support for right ventricular failure in heart transplantation.
Aortic Atheroma Burden and Cognitive Dysfunction After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
Although the etiology of NCD is likely multifactorial, our results suggest that aortic atherosclerosis may not be the primary factor in the pathogenesis of post-CABG cognitive changes.
Descending Thoracic Aortic Rupture: Role of Endovascular Stent-Grafting
The early results of endovascular stent-grafting for the treatment of high-risk patients with descending thoracic aortic rupture are promising.
Descending Thoracic Aortic Rupture: Role of Endovascular Stent-Grafting
The early results of endovascular stent-grafting for the treatment of high-risk patients with descending thoracic aortic rupture are promising.
The Impact of Aortic Manipulation on Neurologic Outcomes After Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: A Risk-Adjusted Study
Aortic manipulation during CABG is a contributing mechanism for postoperative stroke. The incidence of postoperative stroke increases with increased levels of aortic manipulation.
Does Clopidogrel Increase Blood Loss Following Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
Clopidogrel within 4 days of coronary bypass surgery is associated with increased blood losses and reoperation for bleeding and, according to multivariable models, is an independent risk factor for increased transfusion requirements and prolonged ICU and hospital length of stay.

EuroSCORE Predicts Intensive Care Unit Stay and Costs of Open Heart Surgery
In this single-institution study, the additive EuroSCORE algorithm could be used to predict ICU cost and also an ICU stay of more than 2 days after open heart surgery.
Total Arterial Off-Pump Coronary Surgery: Time to Change Our Habits?
Total arterial OPCAB has a safe outcome in terms of mortality and neurologic events and has a low linearized rate of cardiac-related events at follow-up, even for patients with a moderate- to high-risk profile.
Improving Outcomes in Coronary Surgery: The Impact of Echo-Directed Aortic Cannulation and Perioperative Hemodynamic Management in 500 Patients
A standardized approach to CABG using echocardiographic guided aortic cannulation and perioperative hemodynamic management reduces perioperative stroke and death associated with on-pump coronary surgery.
