The use of radial-artery grafts for coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) may result in better postoperative outcomes than the saphenous-vein grafts. However, randomized, controlled trials comparing and have been individually underpowered to detect differences clinical outcomes. We performed a patient-level combined analysis compare CABG.
Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a serious complication of myocardial infarction (MI), with its global incidence significantly reduced in recent years due to advances coronary reperfusion techniques. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, there was an unexpected rise post-MI VSD, likely driven by delays seeking treatment. This study retrospectively analyzed 10 cases VSD treated at our hospitals from March 2018 August 2023, comparing rates across pre-pandemic, and post-pandemic periods. The...
Pulmonary hypertension increases morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing heart surgery. Mitral valve stenosis is frequently associated with an increase pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). Cardiopulmonary bypass exacerbates cardiac The aim of this study was to compare the hemodynamic effects inhaled prostacyclin nitric oxide administration i.v. nitroprusside during surgery a clinical, pharmacodynamic dose-response, prospective, randomized, double-blind (Group A: prostacyclin; Group B:...
To evaluate performance of the European System for Cardiac Operation Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE II), to assess influence model updating and derive a hierarchical tree modelling relationship between EuroSCORE II risk factors hospital mortality after cardiac surgery in large prospective contemporary cohort consecutive adult patients. Data on patients, who underwent on-pump or off-pump coronary artery bypass graft intervention, were retrieved from Puglia Adult Surgery Registry. Discrimination,...
Background: The inflammatory cascade has been hypothesized to be an important mechanism of post-ischaemic myocardial reperfusion injury and several studies demonstrated that C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH) is effective in post-ischaemia protection. Therefore, we aimed investigate prospectively a randomised double-blind study the cardioprotective effects C1-INH ST segment elevation infarction (STEMI) patients who underwent emergent with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods: In this...
Age >90 years represents in many centers an absolute contraindication to cardiac surgery. Nonagenarians are a rapidly growing subset of the population posing expanding clinical problem. To provide helpful information regard this complex decision, we analyzed operative and 5-year results coronary valvular surgical procedures these patients.We retrospectively reviewed 127 patients aged >or=90 who underwent surgery within our hospital group period 1998 2008. Kaplan-Meier multiple logistic...
Healthcare organizations today are facing a series of problems due to two main factors: increasing difficulty in satisfying progressively more ‘aware’ and demanding user, the need change their internal organization keep pace with very rapid changes taking place technology approach. A continuous increase complexity capacity physicians will not ensure fundamental requirement any business: really deliver what its customers need. Hence, it is time for revolutionary strategy focused on: (i)...
