<h3>Background:</h3> Persistent postoperative pain continues to be an underrecognized complication. We examined the prevalence of and risk factors for this type after cardiac surgery. <h3>Methods:</h3> enrolled patients scheduled coronary artery bypass grafting or valve replacement, both, from Feb. 8, 2005, Sept. 1, 2009. Validated measures were used assess (a) preoperative anxiety depression, tendency catastrophize in face pain, health-related quality life presence persistent pain; (b)...
The Evolut Low Risk trial demonstrated that transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) was noninferior to surgery for the primary endpoint of all-cause mortality or disabling stroke at 2 years. Outcomes 5 years have not been reported. This study sought evaluate 5-year clinical and hemodynamic outcomes with TAVR vs in patients from trial. We randomly assigned low-risk severe stenosis surgery. a composite stroke. Secondary endpoints included clinical, echocardiographic, quality-of-life...
This paper was undertaken to determine the long-term outcome of active infective endocarditis treated with antibiotic and radical excision infected tissues by surgery.From October 1978 August 1994, 122 consecutive patients were operated on during acute phase endocarditis. There 85 men 37 women whose mean age 50 years, ranging from 20 79. Surgery needed because one or more following complications: cardiogenic/septic shock in 19 patients, congestive heart failure 68, persistent sepsis 64,...
