In cardiac surgery, myocardial protection during arrest remains essential to prevent ischemic damage and preserve heart function. Traditionally, high-potassium depolarizing cardioplegia has been used for over five decades. bit.ly/3TEglfc
In cardiac surgeries requiring prolonged aortic cross-clamping, effective myocardial protection is crucial to minimize ischemic injury. St. bit.ly/3TDXtwF
This pivotal study from the Annals of Thoracic Surgery Short Reports addresses a pressing question in cardiac surgery: can minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (MICS-CABG) rival traditional sternotomy-CABG for patients with multivessel coronary disease? bit.ly/45WGaP1
Acute type A aortic dissection (AAAD) is a life-threatening cardiovascular emergency that requires rapid diagnosis and surgical intervention. bit.ly/4jFBzUm
The article, published in the Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, explores the use of intraoperative and postoperative blood cell salvage (BCS) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). bit.ly/43rJSOR
Cardiac surgery patients frequently require transfusions due to significant blood loss associated with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Recent clinical interest has focused on improving blood management through various residual volume processing techniques. bit.ly/4j8X8fX
Acute Type A aortic dissection (AAAD) is a life-threatening cardiovascular emergency requiring immediate surgical intervention. Despite its critical nature, there remains no universal consensus on the optimal surgical approach. bit.ly/4koPj6U
Temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS) devices are critical tools in managing patients with severe hemodynamic instability, often employed as bridges to recovery or more permanent solutions like heart transplantation. bit.ly/4kmwfpU
Understanding Del Nido Cardioplegia in Adult Cardiac Surgery Del Nido cardioplegia, a crystalloid-based myocardial protection solution developed in the 1990s for pediatric cardiac surgery, is now widely used in adult procedures. bit.ly/43iwQSp
Artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to redefine the landscape of cardiovascular interventions by revolutionizing multiple aspects of care, from diagnosis and planning to device development and medical education. bit.ly/3ROH6wp
Gastrointestinal complications (GICs) following cardiac surgery are rare but clinically significant, often leading to longer recovery times, increased costs, and higher postoperative mortality. bit.ly/4jwCG9e
Introduction and Historical Context By the 1990s and early 2000s, the technique gained traction with the advent of surgical stabilizers, CO₂ blowers, and intracoronary shunts. bit.ly/4jluB7S
Postoperative monitoring in pediatric cardiac surgical patients is crucial, especially after extubation, to prevent respiratory deterioration. bit.ly/42z11Va
The case study titled “Malignancy-Induced Functional Tricuspid Obstruction Complicated by Cardiopulmonary Collapse Treated Using Combination VA-ECMO and AngioVac”, published in JACC: Case Reports, presents a compelling narrative on the diagnostic and therapeutic bit.ly/4cED2sb
Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MiMVS), especially through right mini-thoracotomy, is gaining ground as a favorable alternative to the traditional median sternotomy approach. bit.ly/4lzLhtN
Pediatric heart surgeries for congenital conditions pose significant risks of brain and kidney injury, primarily due to the complex interplay between immature physiology and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). bit.ly/3YtZuhJ
