Advances in perioperative management for thoracic surgery have accelerated the postoperative recovery of patients by decreasing pain and incidence complications. We aimed to study whether it's safe remove chest drains on table selected cases.
Background: Chest drain management is a variable aspect of postoperative care in thoracic surgery, with different opinion for air and volume output. We aim to study if acceptable safety was maintained using leak criteria alone. Methods: A 9-year retrospective analysis protocolised chest digital cut off less than 20 mL/min more 6 h removal patients undergoing general surgery. excluded not required nor removed during admission or underwent reduction pneumonectomy. Withdrawal were suspected...
Objectives: Tricuspid annuloplasty is the optimal surgical repair technique for tricuspid regurgitation which improves mortality and morbidity. Ring annuloplasties techniques of choice. Here, we evaluate efficacy durability a new method interrupted pledgeted suture annuloplasty. Methods: Between 2011 2018, 39 eligible patients underwent valve using this novel technique. Indication was grade at moderate or greater, an annular diameter >40 mm. Patients were assessed both preoperatively...
Background Porcine aortic roots (PAR) have been reported in the literature with acceptable short- and long-term outcomes for treatment of root aneurysms. However, their efficacy type A dissection (TAAD) is yet to be defined. Methods Using data from a locally collated registry, we compared patients undergoing replacement TAAD using either two surgical options: (a) PAR or (b) composite valve grafts (CVG). retrospective analysis was conducted all procedures period 2005 2018. Results total 252...
