The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Surgery Database is the most mature and comprehensive cardiac surgery database. It has been foundation for quality measurement improvement activities in surgery, facilitated generation accurate risk adjusted performance benchmarks serves as a platform novel research. Recent enhancements have added to database's functionality, ease use, value multiple stakeholders. This report sixth series annual reports that provide updated volumes, outcomes,...
Acute renal injury and failure (ARF) after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has been linked to low on-pump hematocrit (hematocrit). We aimed 1) elucidate if how this relation is modulated by the duration of CPB (TCPB) packed red blood cell transfusions 2) quantify impact post-CPB on operational outcome resource utilization.Retrospective review.A Northwest Ohio community hospital.Adult coronary artery surgery patients with but no preoperative failure.None.We quantified via peak postoperative...
New-onset postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common complication of cardiac surgery that has substantial effects on outcomes. In the general (nonsurgical) adult population, AF been linked to increasing obesity, which correlates with left enlargement. It not known whether similarly obesity.This was retrospective analysis incidence in terms body mass index (BMI). A total 8051 consecutive patients (1994 2004; mean age 64 [SD 11] years; 5372 men [67%]) who were free any history...
Given its proven survival benefit, left internal thoracic artery to anterior descending (LITA-LAD) grafting has become a fundamental part of CABG. This also led increased use other arterial conduits, which the radial is most popular. Whether improves beyond that achieved by LITA-LAD alone not known.We compared 6-year outcomes in propensity-matched CABG-LITA-LAD patients (925 each) divided into those with > or =1 grafts and vein-only grafting. Matched had essentially identical demographics,...
The primary hypothesis of the ROMA trial is that in patients undergoing isolated non-emergent coronary artery bypass grafting, use 2 or more arterial grafts compared with a single graft (SAG) associated reduction composite outcome death from any cause, stroke, post-discharge myocardial infarction and/or repeat revascularization.
Multiple arterial coronary artery grafting (MABG) improves long-term survival compared with single CABG (SABG), yet the best second conduit to be used left internal thoracic (LITA) remains undefined. Outcomes in patients grafted radial (RA-MABG) versus right (RITA-MABG) as graft were SABG.Multi-institutional, retrospective analysis of non-emergent isolated LITA anterior descending was performed using institutional Society Thoracic Surgeon National Adult Cardiac Surgery Databases. 4484...
