Background: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is a rare entity after cardiac surgery.
Aims: To describe patients' profile who developed postoperative TTC after cardiac surgery, management, and outcomes.
Methods: We performed a systematic literature search to extract cases of TTC after adult cardiac surgery (from 1990 to 2021).
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is manifested by an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with intense inflammation and endothelial dysfunction leading to particularly severe hypoxemia. We hypothesized that an impaired hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction aggravates hypoxemia. The objective of the study was to test the effect of two pulmonary vasoactive drugs on patient oxygenation.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFRight ventricular failure (RVF) after cardiac surgery is an important risk factor for morbidity and mortality. Its diagnosis is challenging, and thus, its incidence and predictors are not well-established. We investigated the incidence, complications, and variables associated with clinically relevant post-operative RVF.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjectives: The aim of this study was to re-investigate the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of postoperative diaphragmatic dysfunction (DD) with actual cardiac surgery procedures.
Design: Single-center, retrospective, observational study based on a prospectively collected database.
Setting: Tertiary care cardiac surgery center.
Background: In cardiac surgery, risk is estimated with models such as EuroSCORE II and the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) score. Performance of these scores may vary across various patient age ranges.
Aim: To assess the effect of patient age on performance of the EuroSCORE II and STS scores, regarding postoperative mortality after surgical aortic valve replacement.
