Abstract Perioperative low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) remains a significant complication in adult cardiac surgery, contributing to substantial morbidity, prolonged intensive care, and increased mortality. Its incidence is expected to..
Read MoreAbstract Low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) is defined by an insufficient cardiac output to meet metabolic demands, leading to tissue hypoperfusion and potential organ dysfunction. Although it affects up to 42%..
Read MoreAbstract Background Open cardiac surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) triggers a systemic inflammatory response that significantly affects clinical outcomes. However, the dynamics and specific roles of cytokine release after CPB..
Read MoreAbstract Perioperative low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) remains a significant complication in adult cardiac surgery, contributing to substantial morbidity, prolonged intensive care, and increased mortality. Its incidence is expected to..
Read MoreAbstract Background Pericardiectomy is the curative treatment for constrictive pericarditis, yet postoperative low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) may occur. The application of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in post-pericardiectomy refractory..
Read MoreAbstract Background Report the incidence and results of peri-operative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) of patients undergoing mitral valve surgery (MVS) through right mini-thoracotomy (RT) and..
Read MoreAbstract Background To provide multivariable prognostic models for severe complications prediction after heart valve surgery, including low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS), acute kidney injury requiring hemodialysis (AKI-rH) and multiple organ..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives: Cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass frequently provokes a systemic inflammatory response syndrome. This can lead to the development of low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS). Both of these can..
Read MoreAbstract Low cardiac output syndrome and the systemic inflammatory response are consequences of the cardiac surgical perioperative course. The mechanisms responsible are multifactorial, but recent studies have shown that nitric..
Read MoreAbstract Importance Low cardiac output syndrome after cardiac surgery is associated with high morbidity and mortality in patients with impaired left ventricular function. Objective To assess the ability of preoperative..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose Cardiopulmonary bypass induces an ischaemia–reperfusion injury and systemic inflammatory response, which contributes to low cardiac output syndrome following cardiac surgery. Exogenous nitric oxide during cardiopulmonary bypass has shown..
