Background: Long-term outcomes of Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (OPCAB) as an alternative to the traditional Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) technique with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are not well defined.
Aim: To compare 10-year survival of isolated OPCAB versus CABG with CPB.
Material And Methods: Analysis of information obtained from databases, clinical records and surgical protocols of patients treated with isolated CABG between January 2006 and November 2008 at a Regional Hospital.
Introduction: Several factors intervene in the evolution of the characteristics of Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), such as demographic changes, surgical technique, and perioperative care. Our objective was to analyze the evolution of the characteristics of coronary artery disease in patients treated with CABG and its immediate results.
Methods: In an analytical study, we analyzed a cohort of patients with isolated CABG from January 2006 to December 2008 and from January 2016 to December 2018 in Hospital Clínico Regional Concepción, Chile.
Background: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the treatment of choice for a broad spectrum of patients with coronary disease.
Aim: To describe global survival and factors associated with lower long-term survival in patients operated with isolated CABG.
Material And Methods: Analysis of a cohort of patients who underwent CABG between January 2006 and December 2008 at a public hospital.
Background: The adoption of sanitary measures due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic hampered teaching and learning methods in medicine.
Aim: To communicate the results of a wound suture training workshop, based on the Basic Procedural Skills Training methodology and adapted to the pandemic context.
Material And Methods: One hundred fourteen students were randomized in small groups due to sanitary measures and trained with a modification of the Basic Procedural Skills Training methodology.
Background: Lung cancer is the world's leading cause of cancer death.
Aim: To describe the clinical, staging and survival characteristics of lung cancer in a public Chilean regional hospital.
Material And Methods: Analysis of a prospective database of a thoracic surgery service, retrieving histologically confirmed lung cancer cases from January 2010 to December 2019 and reviewing their medical records.
Background: Boot camps are used to acquire skills in simple surgical procedures, such as sutures, in a short period of time.
Aim: To assess the retention of the procedural skills of medical students who participated in a simulation-based suture workshop.
Material And Methods: One hundred five medical students were trained using the EPROBA methodology (Entrenamiento PROcedimental BAsico), with prior informed consent.
Background: Lungs are the second location in frequency of hydatidosis or cystic echinococcosis.
Aim: To characterize the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, findings and treatment of patients hospitalized for a pulmonary hydatid cyst (PHC).
Materials And Methods: Review of databases, medical records, operation notes and death certificates of patients admitted to a Chilean regional hospital with a PHC.
Background: Primary cardiac tumors have a low incidence, and their presentation form and clinical course are not well known.
Aim: To describe the characteristics, treatment, follow up and survival of patients with primary cardiac tumors (PCT).
Material And Methods: Review of all surgical procedures for PCT performed between 1984 and 2019 in a regional general hospital.
