Effects of blood transfusion, cardiopulmonary bypass time, and bypassed vessels on mortality following isolated and combined coronary artery bypass grafting.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the number of bypassed vessels, the duration of Cardiopulmonary bypass, blood transfusion requirements, revision rates, and mortality outcomes. The objective was to get insights into the potential challenges that may arise during the postoperative phase.

Methods: Our study covered a total of 677 patients from January 2015 to January 2021.

Surgical treatment of giant cardiac aneurysm with pseudoaneurysm in a colon carcinoma patient.

Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a rare and lethal condition associated with a high risk of rapid enlargement and rupture. It develops after transmural myocardial infarction (MI), cardiac surgery, trauma, or infection. When a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is detected, surgical repair is recommended due to the high possibility of rupture.

Ascending aortic aneurysm treatment with linear plication and external wrapping technique: mid-term results.

Objective: The aim of this study is to assess mid-term outcomes of reduction aortoplasty and wrapping technique which is an alternative method to replacement of the aorta in ascending aortic aneurysms. We aimed to show the efficacy of this technique especially when used for patients with increased perioperative mortality or morbidity due to their concomitant pathologies.

Materials And Methods: From March 2009 to May 2011, 22 patients underwent reduction aortoplasty and wrapping for ascending aortic aneurysm.
