Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a critical condition in postpartum women, with high mortality rates, particularly in massive cases leading to systemic hypotension or circulatory collapse.
- A case involving a 36-year-old woman post-caesarean section highlights the successful use of veno-arterial (VA) ECMO and surgical embolectomy after she experienced cardiac arrest due to PE, leading to her recovery within a few days.
- Timely interventions, including the use of ECMO and surgical embolectomy, are essential in effectively managing PE in postpartum patients while minimizing risks of severe complications like hemorrhage.
Background: In this study, we present recent trends in heart valve surgery in Korea through analyses of data from the Korea Heart Valve Surgery Registry (KHVSR).
Methods: We enrolled 8,981 patients who were registered in the KHVSR from 2017 to 2020. Yearly trends in patients' baseline characteristics, surgical profiles, and early mortality rates were explored.
Background: This study aimed to develop a new risk prediction model for operative mortality in a Korean cohort undergoing heart valve surgery using the Korea Heart Valve Surgery Registry (KHVSR) database.
Methods: We analyzed data from 4,742 patients registered in the KHVSR who underwent heart valve surgery at 9 institutions between 2017 and 2018. A risk prediction model was developed for operative mortality, defined as death within 30 days after surgery or during the same hospitalization.
This study evaluated the outcomes and prognostic factors for breast cancer according to initial lymph node (LN) status. Among patients with LN-negative breast cancer, we also focused on the prognostic value of estrogen receptor (ER) status.Medical records were retrospectively reviewed for 715 patients who underwent curative surgery for breast cancer between January 2005 and December 2015 at a single Korean institution.
