The aim of this study was to assess the impact frailty on outcome after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and whether it may improve predictive ability European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE II).The Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) assessed preoperatively in patients undergoing isolated CABG from multicentre E-CABG registry, were stratified into 3 classes: scores 1-2, 3-4 5-7.Of 6156 enrolled, 39.2% had CFS 57.6% 3-4, 3.2% 5-7. Logistic regression adjusted multiple...
Patients with prosthetic heart valves have a higher risk of developing valve thrombosis and arterial thromboembolism. Antithrombotic therapy in the early postoperative period after biological aortic replacement (BAVR) is controversial. The American College Cardiology/American Heart Association European Society Cardiology guidelines recommend use warfarin for first 3 months BAVR, although Chest Physician suggest that recommendations are very weak risk/benefit unclear. This prospective study...
The optimal timing of discontinuation ticagrelor before cardiac surgery is controversial.To evaluate the safety preoperative use with or without aspirin in patients acute coronary syndromes (ACS) undergoing isolated artery bypass grafting (CABG) compared alone.This prospective, multicenter clinical trial was performed at 15 European centers surgery. Participants were ACS CABG from Multicenter Study on Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (E-CABG) registry between January and September 2015.Before...
The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact gender on outcomes after isolated coronary artery bypass grafting, in terms 5-year rates overall death, cardiac-related myocardial infarction, re-hospitalization, repeat percutaneous or surgical revascularization, stroke, new pacemaker implantation, postoperative renal failure, heart failure and need for long-term care.Two propensity-score matched cohorts, each 1331 patients, undergoing revascularization at regional public private...
Few data exist on contemporary outcomes after conventional aortic valve replacement (AVR) in the elderly. Accordingly, we evaluated and identified predictors of reduced survival a large series octogenarians undergoing AVR. The Regione Emilia Romagna Cardiac Surgery registry (RERIC) database (n = 2 6938) was queried for clinical features, hospital mid-term AVR between 2003 2009. Predictors mortality were identified. study population consisted 638 patients. NYHA class III–IV, congestive heart...
To determine whether the Trifecta bioprosthetic aortic valve produces postoperative haemodynamic results comparable with or better than those of Magna Ease bioprosthesis. We retrospectively reviewed medical records patients who had undergone replacement prostheses at eight European institutions between January 2011 and May 2013, analysed early performance by means echocardiography. A total 791 underwent (469 Ease, 322 Trifecta). Haemodynamic variables were evaluated on discharge during...
Background:Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a suspected risk factor for sternal wound infection (SWI) after CABG.
Most studies comparing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and percutaneous interventions (PCI) showed that fewer patients who had undergone CABG required repeat revascularizations , but no difference in survival, with the exception of some subgroups patients. However, long-term real-world evidence on whom both procedures are technically feasible is yet not available. The aim this study was to compare 5-year rates death, myocardial infarction (MI), target vessel revascularization (TVR)...
Despite substantial progress in surgical techniques and perioperative management, the treatment long-term follow-up of type A acute aortic dissection (AAD) still remain a major challenge. The objective this retrospective, multicentre study was to assess large series patients early results after surgery for AAD. We analysed preoperative, intraoperative postoperative conditions 1.148 consecutive surgically treated seven referral centres from 1981 2013. applied each patient three different...
