Background Diabetic patients present a majority of undergoing surgical revascularization. Hyperglycemia is associated with increased adverse events. Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) an effective biological marker for long-term glycemic control. As result, there trend in its use as predictor outcomes. This study aims to assess the impact elevated HbA1c on occurrence postoperative complications after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods We conducted retrospective review medical...
Placement of temporary epicardial pacing wires (TEPW) is common practice in cardiac surgery. Removal TEPW the postoperative period can lead to serious bleeding necessitating surgical intervention and conferring high morbidity. The purpose this study determine incidence removal complications.A retrospective review all major operations at our institution from 2005 2016 was conducted. Patients were identified using Maritime Heart Center Database. We reviewed preoperative, intra-operative,...
Key Clinical Message Mycotic pseudoaneurysms can be a serious and life threatening complication of left sided infective endocarditis. They most commonly affect the major axial vessels. Profunda femoris artery (PFA) aneurysms are rare present in only 0.5% all peripheral aneurysms, regardless underlying etiology. We case patient who underwent mitral valve repair for severe regurgitation secondary to culture negative IE which was complicated by multiple mycotic pseudoaneurysm. The PFA...
Placement of temporary epicardial pacing wires (TEPW) at the end open heart surgery cases is routine but can be associated with complications. Identification patients who are high risk for requiring would beneficial on guiding selective TEPW placement. The purpose this study was to identify predictors immediately post cardiac surgery.A retrospective analysis undergoing from 2005 2016 Maritime Heart Center conducted. Analysis performed require arrival cardiovascular intensive care unit...
Recurrent angina after coronary artery bypass grafting is rarely caused by left subclavian (LSCA) stenosis resulting in reduced internal mammary blood flow. We present 2 cases of coronary-subclavian steal syndrome from LSCA and their successful surgical management with carotid to bypass. Based on the described this case report, limitations other options addressing syndrome, surgery should be considered for revascularization patients who develop postoperative due stenosis.La récidive d’angine...
Abstract Rare but potentially fatal, brucellosis prosthetic valve endocarditis is a complication of caused by Brucella species. The symptoms can be nonspecific, making the diagnosis challenging. Osteoarticular involvement most common brucellosis. Mortality from low except for and central nervous system. based on laboratory tests clinical manifestations. Serological are preferred, as culture methods unreliable. A 59-year-old woman presented with gastrointestinal bleeding, fever, anorexia...
Background: Female sex is considered an independent predictor for mortality and morbidity following cardiac surgery. This study to review the outcomes of adult surgery between males females in a Saudi tertiary referral hospital. Method: was retrospective 925 patients operated on ischemic coronary artery disease acquired aortic mitral valvular heart from 2015 August 2023. We analyzed patient characteristics, intraoperative data, postoperative results compare females. Results: Preoperative...
Resternotomy for bleeding remains a significant complication with increased rates of morbidity and mortality. Right ventricular laceration from fractured sternal wires is rare cause postoperative bleeding. A 68-year-old man presented coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Postoperatively, he had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation. He initially responded to treatment, shortly after mobilizing, acutely decompensated hemodynamically. bedside echo revealed pericardial...
Abstract Morgagni hernia (MH) is a rare form of congenital diaphragmatic hernia, typically occurring predominantly on the right side and exhibiting higher prevalence in females. Usually diagnosed incidentally, MH may coexist with heart defects, chest wall abnormalities certain genetic syndromes such as Down syndrome. A 4-year-old boy syndrome underwent simultaneous repair closure ventricular septal defect (VSD). vertical midline sternotomy was performed, VSD repaired using atrium approach....
Erdheim-Chester Disease (ECD) is an extremely rare non-Langerhans histiocytosis that most often presents in the fifth to seventh decades of life. In this case report, we present a 34-year-old woman who underwent successful pericardiectomy for constrictive pericarditis secondary ECD, which youngest reported patient with ECD undergo pericardiectomy. (Level Difficulty: Advanced.).
Novel Teaching Points•Several options are available for alternative access TAVR.•Transaxillary TAVR with a previous David procedure has not been described.•In patients aortic root surgery, is safe option.•Consideration of graft size and type required proper sizing.•Coronary height must be considered valve selection placement. •Several Transcatheter replacement (TAVR) suitable to surgical in specific patient populations. The transfemoral approach the one most commonly used TAVR, although...
