Aortic valve replacement with a conventional stented bioprosthesis versus sutureless bioprosthesis: a study of 763 patients

Abstract Objective: The aim of this retrospective study was to compare early postoperative outcomes after aortic valve replacement (AVR) with sutureless bioprostheses and conventional stented bioprostheses implanted through median sternotomy. Methods: From January 2011 to December 2016, 763 patients un...

On-Pump beating/non-beating cabg in stable angina have similar outcomes

Abstract Objective: On pump beating/non-beating coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG) has been compared in patients with unstable angina and/or severe left ventricular dysfunction. There is scarce evidence regarding the beneficial use of on-pump beating CABG in patients with stable angina and normal left...

Hemolysis and inflammatory response to extracorporeal circulation during on-pump cabg: comparison between roller and centrifugal pump systems

Abstract Objective: To compare the perioperative incidence rates of hemolysis and inflammatory response in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting with the two main types of cardiopulmonary bypass, centrifugal and roller pumps, and establish correlations among hemolytic and inflammatory chan...

Application of a pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamics approach to the free propofol plasma levels during coronary artery bypass grafting surgery with hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass

Clinics; 73 (), 2018
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to apply a pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamics approach to investigate the free propofol plasma levels in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting under hypothermic conditions compared with the off-pump procedure. METHODS: Nineteen patients scheduled ...

Neuroprotective anesthesia regimen and intensive management for pediatric cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass: a review and initial experience

Abstract This article describes our proposal for routine anesthesia, intraoperative medical management, cerebral and physiological monitoring during pediatric cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass that intend to provide appropriate anesthesia (analgesia, hypnosis), neuroprotection, adequate cerebra...

Anterior minithoracotomy: a safe approach for surgical asd closure & asd device retrieval

Abstract Objective: Midline sternotomy is the preferred approach for device migration following transcatheter device closure of ostium secundum atrial septal defect. Results of patients operated for device migration were retrospectively reviewed after transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect. Meth...

Left atrial myxoma following coronary artery bypass grafting with patient coronary arterial grafts: a rarity

Abstract The development of left atrial myxoma after coronary artery bypass graft surgery is a rare entity. A 60-year-old man with previous off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting four years ago with patent coronary grafts was diagnosed with left atrial mass. The patient underwent successful resection o...

Factores de riesgo asociados a insuficiencia renal aguda postoperatoria en pacientes pediátricos intervenidos de cirugía cardiaca que requirieron de circulación extracorpórea

Rev. chil. pediatr; 88 (2), 2017
La insuficiencia renal aguda (IRA) es una complicación asociada a la cirugía cardíaca con circulación extracorpórea (CEC) con impacto en la morbimortalidad. OBJETIVO: Identificar los factores de riesgo asociados a IRA posquirúrgica de acuerdo a la escala pRIFLE (pediatric Risk, Injury, Failure, Los...

Cervical cannulation for surgical repair of congenital cardiac defects in infants and small children

Abstract INTRODUCTION: The biggest challenge faced in minimally invasive pediatric cardiac surgery is cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass. Our technique and experience of cervical cannulation in infants and small children for repair of congenital cardiac defects is reported in this study. METHODS: F...

In-vitro evaluation of two types of neonatal oxygenators in handling gaseous microemboli and maintaining optimal hemodynamic stability during cardiopulmonary bypass

Abstract Objective: Usually only FDA-approved oxygenators are subject of studies by the international scientific community. The objective of this study is to evaluate two types of neonatal membrane oxygenators in terms of transmembrane pressure gradient, hemodynamic energy transmission and gaseous micro...
