Background and objectives: Different scores to predict acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery have been developed recently. The purpose of this study was validate externally two clinical at Cleveland Toronto. Design, setting, participants, & measurements: A retrospective analysis conducted a prospectively maintained database all surgeries performed during 5-yr period (2002 2006) University Hospital in Madrid, Spain. Acute defined as the need for renal replacement therapy. For evaluation...
We assessed the prognostic utility of risk scores in surgery for infective endocarditis (IE) to evaluate their reliability mortality prediction. An observational retrospective study was developed include all patients who underwent active IE from 2002 2016. Classical and endocarditis-specific were calculated. A total 180 included study. The 30-day rate 26.82% [95% confidence interval (CI) 20.26–33.20%]. confirmed have a suboptimal ability. Therefore, 4 IE-specific Discrimination evaluated...
Infection of a median sternotomy wound is rare though potentially fatal complication. Despite early diagnosis and proper treatment, prognosis poor because the chance mediastinal spread infection physical state these patients. Muscle repair superior to more conservative surgical options such as sternal resuturing with irrigation. During last 10 years, complications-including infections dehiscences-have been encountered in 172/4725 wounds after cardiac surgery procedures (4%). Thirty-four...
Alveolar proteinosis is a rare pulmonary disease, characterised by the accumulation of proteinaceous material in alveoli, which severely reduces gas exchange and causes progressive disability patient, usually moderate, but sometimes completely disabling. Whole-lung lavage (WLL) preferred technique for treatment this it performed introducing into lungs draining fluid (saline), removes phospholipidic present offering patient marked improvement short period time. Sometimes whole-lung not well...
The optimal surgical procedure for treatment of fibromembranous subaortic stenosis has been a subject debate. We report our experience with patients treated membranous using membrane resection alone and plus aggressive septal myectomy.Patients followed in the pediatric cardiology clinic university hospital, who had undergone surgery between 2002 2013 were reviewed. Recurrence membrane, residual left ventricular outflow gradient, aortic valve function analyzed.Forty-six underwent membrane. Of...

Las infecciones nosocomiales constituyen el efecto adverso sobre la seguridad del paciente más frecuente a nivel mundial. De todas las nosocomiales, infección de herida quirúrgica (IHQ) es habitual en países vías desarrollo, y segunda frecuencia los desarrollados. En noviembre 2016, Organización Mundial Salud (OMS) publicó un documento con una serie recomendaciones, basadas evidencia, para prevención IHQ: «Global guidelines for the prevention of surgical site infection». forma paralela,...
Patients with tetralogy of Fallot are now surviving to adulthood timely surgical intervention.

Sir, We present the case of an 8-year-old child in Ethiopia with a large coronary artery fistula connecting left anterior descending to right ventricle, who was treated by combined surgical and percutaneous approach. First described 1865,[1] fistulae connect vessel chamber heart, pulmonary artery, or sinus. Coronary are relatively rare, representing 0.2–0.4% all congenital heart defects[2] can be asymptomatic close spontaneously, they manifest as myocardial ischemia, arrhythmia, failure. In...
