Abstract OBJECTIVES Stroke is a serious complication in patients with acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). Previous studies investigating stroke ATAAD have been limited by small cohorts and shown diverging results. We sought to identify risk factors for evaluate the effect of on outcomes surgical patients. METHODS The Nordic Consortium Acute Type Aortic Dissection database included operated at 8 Scandinavian Hospitals between 2005 2014. RESULTS occurred 177 (15.7%) out 1128 Patients...
Our aim was to investigate the outcome of patients with diabetes undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery in a whole population main focus on long-term mortality and complications.This nationwide retrospective analysis all who underwent isolated primary CABG Iceland between 2001 2016. Overall survival together composite end point major adverse cardiac cerebrovascular events compared without during median follow-up 8.5 years. Multivariable regression analyses were used...
In a nationwide cohort, we analyzed long-term outcome following coronary artery bypass grafting, using the combined strategy of left internal mammary to anterior descending and saphenous vein as secondary graft other targets.1,507 consecutive patients that underwent myocardial revascularization during 2001-2012 in Iceland. Mean follow-up was 6.8 years. Major adverse cardiac cerebrovascular events were depicted Kaplan-Meier method. Cox-regression used define risk factors. Relative survival...
Objectives: We studied the incidence and risk factors of reoperation for bleeding following CABG in a nationwide cohort with focus on long-term complications survival. Design: A retrospective study 2060 consecutive, isolated patients operated 2001–2016. Outcome reoperated (n = 130) were compared to non-reoperated ones 1930), including major adverse cardiac cerebrovascular events (MACCE) overall Risk determined using multivariate logistic regression Cox proportional hazards model assess...

Most patients that undergo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are around 70 years of age when operated on. We investigated the outcome CABG in 50 and younger, focusing on early complications, operative mortality long-term survival.A retrospective study 1626 underwent Iceland 2001-2012. One hundred aged or younger were compared to 1526 older patients.The male:female ratio, risk factors extension disease comparable both groups, as was proportion with left main disease.
