Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery | Abstract | Risk Factors For Recurrent Stroke After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
cardiothoracicsurgery.org — “Objectives: Preventing stroke after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains a therapeutic goal, due in part to the lack of identifiable risk factors. The aim of this study, accordingly, was to identify risk factors in CABG patients with a previous history of stroke.” View full resource at cardiothoracicsurgery.org

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery | Abstract | Effect of short-acting beta blocker on the cardiac recovery after cardiopulmonary bypass
cardiothoracicsurgery.org — “The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of beta blocker on cardiac recovery and rhythm during cardiac surgeries. Sixty surgical rheumatic heart disease patients were received esmolol 1 mg/kg or the same volume of saline prior to removal of the aortic clamp. The incidence of cardiac automatic re-beat, ventricular fibrillation after reperfusion, the heart rate after steady re-beat, vasoactive drug use during weaning from bypass, the posterior parallel time and total bypass time w” View full resource at cardiothoracicsurgery.org

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery | Abstract | Abdominal only CPR during cardiac arrest for a patient with an LVAD during resternotomy: a case report
cardiothoracicsurgery.org — “We present a case in which a patient with a previous sternotomy and left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation developed cardiac arrest during resternotomy for LVAD exchange. The surgeon refused chest compressions for fear of potential damage to the inflow cannula directly beneath the sternum. The perioperative team had no alternatives to external cardiac massage other than rapid deployment of extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation for mechanical support, so the anesthesiologist advised th” View full resource at cardiothoracicsurgery.org

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery | Abstract | Degenerative processes in bioprosthetic mitral valves in juvenile pigs
cardiothoracicsurgery.org — “Glutaraldehyde-treated bioprosthetic heart valves are commonly used for replacement of diseased heart valves. However, calcification and wear limit their durability, and the development of new and improved bioprosthetic valve designs is needed and must be evaluated in a reliable animal model. We studied glutaraldehyde-treated valves 6 months after implantation to evaluate bioprosthetic valve complications in the mitral position in juvenile pigs.” View full resource at cardiothoracicsurgery.org

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery | Abstract | Carotid shunt provides cerebral protection during emergency coronary artery bypass grafting in a patient with bilateral high grade carotid stenosis: a case report
cardiothoracicsurgery.org — “Management of patients with co-existent coronary and carotid disease is a controversial and challenging issue. The risk for stroke after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with hemodynamically significant carotid stenosis is up to 30%. In these patients a common practice is to proceed first with the restoration of cerebral perfusion and then perform the coronary revascularization. The rationale is that this strategy will reduce perioperative neurological morbidity and mortality. ” View full resource at cardiothoracicsurgery.org

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery | Full text | Tremendous bleeding complication after vacuum-assisted sternal closure
cardiothoracicsurgery.org — “Vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) of complex infected wounds has recently gained popularity among various surgical specialties. The system is based on the application of negative pressure by controlled suction to the wound surface. The effectiveness of the VAC System on microcirculation and the promotion of granulation tissue proliferation are proved. No contraindications for the use in deep sternal wounds in cardiac surgery are described. In our case report we illustrate a scenario were a patient d” View full resource at cardiothoracicsurgery.org

Both problems can be manage by either a combined or staged operation. The use of CPB during revascularization of the myocardium among patients with malignant disease, may have an effect on dissimination of malignant cells. This was observed among two of our patients. We believe that the use of off-pump technique to revascularize th” View full resource at cardiothoracicsurgery.org
