Peri-Procedural Management of the Patient on Mechanical Support (EP Video)

This study aimed to perform a risk-adjusted comparison of mortality, rate of stroke and perioperative morbidity of aortic valve replacement (AVR) conducted through either partial mini-sternotomy or conventional sternotomy.

The purpose of the present study was, therefore, to assess the clinical relevance of intra-aortic administration of adenosine following aortic cross-clamping with respect to the exertion of additional protection in routine coronary artery bypass surgery.
