Abstract Objective: To assess the potential benefits of minimally invasive aortic valve replacement (MIAVR) compared with conventional AVR (CAVR) by examining short-term outcomes.  Methods: A systematic search identified randomized trials comparing MIAVR..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with coagulopathic bleeding. Impaired thrombin generation may be an important cause of coagulopathic bleeding but is poorly measured by existing..

Abstract Background and objectives AKI is a common complication after pediatric cardiac surgery and has been associated with higher morbidity and mortality. We aimed to compare the efficacy of available pharmacologic..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Open heart surgery during pregnancy is relatively rare at home and abroad, and there is a higher risk and probability of maternal and infant death. How to carry..

Abstract Purpose The mainstay of therapy for coagulation factor deficiency in cardiac surgical patients is frozen plasma (FP); however, prothrombin complex concentrates (PCCs) may offer logistical and safety advantages. As..

Abstract Purpose Albumin solution is a colloid used for resuscitation in cardiac surgical patients, but it is unclear if it offers advantages over crystalloids. We examined current clinical practice across..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Algorithms for treatment of diffuse bleeding in cardiac surgery are based on intervention thresholds of coagulation tests, such as rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) or conventional laboratory tests. The relationship between..

Abstract Objectives: A new congenital heart surgery database (CKCV) with real-time online reporting function was recently developed in Turkey. All standard international parameters were used, but Aristotle Comprehensive Complexity score..

Abstract Introduction: Stroke is a complication that causes considerable morbidity and mortality during the heart surgery postoperative period (incidence: 1.3 to 5%; mortality: 13 to 41%). Models for assessing the..

  Study Questions: What are the differences in outcomes between a strategy of staged repair (SR) (initial palliation [IP] and subsequent complete repair [CR]) as compared with primary repair (PR)..

Abstract Treating cardiac injuries following blunt trauma to the chest requires thorough examination, accurate diagnosis, and therapeutic plan. We present two cases; pulmonary vein rupture and left atrial appendage laceration,..

Abstract Iron deficiency anaemia is strongly associated with poor outcomes after cardiac surgery. However, pre‐operative non‐anaemic iron deficiency (a probable anaemia precursor) has not been comprehensively examined in patients undergoing..

Abstract Background. An urgent UK investigation was launched to assess risk of invasive Mycobacterium chimaera infection in cardiothoracic surgery and a possible association with cardiopulmonary bypass heater-cooler units following alerts in Switzerland..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background We aimed to evaluate the results of the combined use of rapid-deployment valves, percutaneous cardioplegia delivery and left heart venting during minimally invasive aortic valve replacement surgery. Methods..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background We aimed to assess the incidence and perioperative risk factors for hyperbilirubinemia after cardiac surgery, and determine its influence on early operative outcome. Methods This prospective observational study..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives:  The armamentarium of cardiac surgery continues to expand, and the cardiac intensivist must be familiar with a broad spectrum of procedures and their specific management concerns. In the..

Abstract Essentials Strategies to improve platelet function may reduce excessive bleeding during cardiac surgery. Patients were randomized to standard care or standard care + noradrenaline infusion. Low‐dose noradrenaline improved intraoperative..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Complications and critical events during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are very challenging, difficult to manage, and in some instances have the potential to lead to fatal outcomes. Massive cerebral air..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background: Early fluid expansion could prevent postoperative organ hypoperfusion. However, excessive fluid resuscitation adversely influences multiple organ systems. This retrospective, observational study aimed to investigate the relationship between early..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Although bloodless cardiac surgery has been successfully performed for many years, studies with controls permitting transfusion are few and their results inconclusive. This study compares the outcome of..
