Background: This retrospective multicenter study investigates the impact of obesity on short-term surgical outcomes in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Given rising global prevalence its known cardiovascular implications, understanding specific effects high-risk groups like HFrEF is crucial. Methods: The analyzed data from 574 CABG across four German university hospitals 2017 to 2023. Patients were stratified...
This study aimed to compare postoperative outcomes and 30-day mortality in patients with reduced ejection fraction (<40%) who underwent isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) (ONCAB) without (OPCAB) the use of cardiopulmonary bypass.data from four university hospitals Germany, spanning January 2017 December 2021, were retrospectively analyzed. A total 551 included study, various demographic, intraoperative, data compared.demographic parameters did not exhibit any differences....
Background: Infective endocarditis (IE) is often associated with multiorgan dysfunction and mortality. Patients double-valve IE belong to a collective of patients in-hospital mortality reaching 40%. If abscesses are present, specifically in the intervalvular fibrous body (IVFB), operative risk from comorbidities supplemented technical challenge having perform complex surgical procedures restoring entire base heart. We here report outcomes mitral aortic valve replacement IVFB reconstruction...
Objective: This study assesses predictors for postoperative delirium (POD) and ICU stay durations in HFrEF patients undergoing CABG, focusing on ONCAB versus OPCAB surgical methods. Summary Background Data: In cardiac surgery, especially POD significantly impacts patient recovery healthcare resource utilization. With varying incidences based techniques, this provides an in-depth analysis of the context patients, a group particularly susceptible to complication. Methods: A retrospective 572...
Background/Objectives: The demographic shift towards an aging population necessitates a reevaluation of surgical interventions like coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in octogenarians. This study aims to elucidate the outcomes CABG octogenarians with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), group traditionally considered at high risk for such procedures. Methods: Conducted across four academic hospitals Germany from 2017 2023, this retrospective multicenter assessed 100...
