Evaluation of the effect of preoperative HbA1c value on development of postoperative atrial fibrillation in diabetic patients with on-pump coronary artery bypass graft.

Background: We aimed to determine the relationship between hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels and the development of postoperative atrial fibrillation (PoAF).

Methods: Two hundred and eighty-eight patients diagnosed with diabetes mellitus and undergoing on-pump coronary bypass were included in the study. Those with serum HbA1c levels between 5.

Comparison of Del Nido Cardioplegia and Blood Cardioplegia in Terms of Development of Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation in Patients Undergoing Isolated Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.

Objective: Del Nido cardioplegia (DNC) has been used in pediatric cardiac surgery for many years with a single dose application and its usage in adult cardiac surgery has been increasing in recent years, with results being published. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of DNC on the development of postoperative atrial fibrillation (PoAF).

Methods: In this retrospective observational comparative study, 255 patients who underwent isolated on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting, between January 2019 and November 2019, were enrolled.

Levels of Ischemia: Modified Albumin in Patients Undergoing On-pump Coronary Artery Bypass.

Objective: To investigate the effect of ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).

Study Design: Observational study.

Place And Duration Of Study: Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Yuksek Ihtisas Training and Research Hospital, Bursa, Turkey, between January and April 2018.

The effect of thiol-disulfide homeostasis in patients undergoing on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.

Background: In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of thiol-disulfide homeostasis in patients undergoing on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.

Methods: Between January 2018 and October 2018, a total of 51 patients (43 males, 8 females; mean age 61.8±8.

Appropriate Surgical Repair of Ventricular Free Wall Rupture after Infarction: a Case Report.

Ventricular free wall rupture is a fatal mechanical complication of acute myocardial infarction. In some cases it can be represented as subacute clinic and may not cause death in a few minutes. Acute pseudo-aneurysms are extremely unstable and bound to fatal rupture.

Effect of Plasma Level of Vitamin D on Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation in Patients Undergoing Isolated Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.

Objective: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (PoAF) is a common complication after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between development of PoAF and vitamin D levels in patients undergoing isolated CABG.

Methods: This prospective randomized clinical trial was conducted on the patients with isolated CABG.

The influence of priming solutions used in cardiopulmonary bypass on blood viscosity in hypothermic conditions.

Vessel diameter, flow velocity, temperature, and viscosity are among the factors determining blood flow in vessels. To assess the influence of arterial blood flow on veins in a cardiac operation, the viscosity of blood diluted with priming solutions must be known. This study aimed to demonstrate the alteration of blood viscosity following dilution with priming solutions: hydroxyethyl starch (HES), gelatin, albumin, and Ringer's lactated solution (RL).
