Objectives: This study investigates the impact of bilateral antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP) time on outcomes in aortic arch surgery.
Methods: In total, 961 patients underwent either hemiarch (n = 385) or total arch replacement (n = 576) with bilateral ACP and moderate hypothermia management between 2006 and 2020 across 2 aortic centres. ACP time was categorized into 4 groups (≤30 min: n = 169, 30-60 min: n = 298, 60-90 min: n = 261, >90 min: n = 233).
Article Synopsis
- * This review analyzes current research on how CKD affects stroke management, particularly focusing on the effectiveness and safety of reperfusion therapies like thrombolysis and thrombectomy in CKD patients, highlighting the need for careful monitoring of kidney function.
- * Recommendations are made for personalized treatment plans and better coordination of care for patients with CKD and strokes, stressing the importance of early CKD detection to lower the risk of stroke-related complications.
Background: Valve-sparing root replacement (VSRR) requires a unique skill set. This study aimed to examine the influence of surgeon's procedural volume on outcomes of VSRR.
Methods: This retrospective study included 1697 patients from 2 large, high-volume aortic centers who underwent aortic root replacement (ARR) between 2004 and 2021 and were potentially eligible for VSRR.
Prosthetic valve-related morbidity and mortality in patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) remain unclear. We retrospectively reviewed patients who received a HeartMate II or 3 LVAD at our center between April 2004 and December 2022. Patients with a valve prosthesis in any position were included.
