Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to determine how preoperative pulmonary function tests (PFTs), like FEV1 and FVC, impact outcomes for patients undergoing rheumatic mitral valve surgery, addressing a lack of consensus on PFT necessity for these patients.
  • - Conducted on 100 patients, the study measured pulmonary function through spirometry, along with assessing pulmonary artery pressure and blood gases, correlating the results with postoperative complications and mortality within 30 days.
  • - Findings revealed that poorer pulmonary function related to increased NYHA class correlated with worse postoperative outcomes, including longer ventilation needs and higher mortality rates, highlighting the importance of evaluating PFTs in this surgical context.

Performing bronchoscopy in cases with bronchial hydatid is controversial.

The study was carried out to evaluate the effect of prophylactic single-dose intravenous amiodarone in patients undergoing valve replacement surgery. Maintenance of sinus rhythm is better than maintenance of fixed ventricular rate in atrial fibrillation (AF) especially in the presence of irritable left or right atrium because of enlargement. Fifty-six patients with valvular heart disease with or without AF were randomly divided into two groups.
