Objective: To investigate whether preoperative biliary drainage is beneficial for patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy.
Methods: The PubMed, Cochrane Library and the Web of Science were systematically searched for relevant trials that included outcome of pancreaticoduodenectomy with and without preoperative biliary drainage from January 2010 to May 2024. The primary outcomes are postoperative pancreatic fistula and intra-abdominal infection.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a hereditary disease of the myocardium characterized by asymmetric hypertrophy (mainly the left ventricle) not caused by pressure or volume load. Most cases of HCM are caused by genetic mutations, particularly in the gene encoding cardiac myosin, such as , , and . These mutations are usually inherited autosomal dominantly.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjectives: To explore whether monitored anesthesia care is more beneficial to the outcome of transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
Methods: The research methodology involved comprehensive searches across major databases, including the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, covering the period from January 1, 2010, to March 1, 2024. The aim was to identify trials comparing different anesthetic methods for transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
Article Synopsis
- Researchers studied how different types of anesthesia affect patients getting treatment for a type of stroke.
- They found that using non-general anesthesia can lower the chances of patients dying in the hospital and reduce how long they need to stay.
- The results suggest that using non-general anesthesia could be better for patients, with fewer problems after the procedure.
Background: As a new type of intravenous anesthetic, ciprofol has the advantages of fast onset of action, fast recovery and high clearance rate. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness and safety of ciprofol versus traditional propofol for anesthesia and sedation in and out of the operating room.
Methods: We searched the literature in PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases from January 2021 to December 2023.
Background: To assess whether there are differences in common postoperative complications and survival between men and women after transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
Methods: We searched the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, and the Web of Science from January 2000 to August 2022. Gender-related articles reporting complications and mortality after transcatheter aortic valve implantation were identified.
Background: To assess whether intraoperative monitoring and intervention of regional cerebral oxygen saturation levels can reduce the incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction in patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery and contribute to patient prognosis.
Methods: The Cochrane Library, PubMed, and the Web of Science were systematically searched for relevant randomized controlled trials involving the effects of cerebral oxygen saturation on the cognitive function of patients after cardiovascular surgery from January 1, 2000 to May 1, 2022. The primary outcome was the incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction.
Objective: The purpose of this investigation aimed to clarify the impact of peripheral artery disease (PAD) on the prognosis value of patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: The SPSS 16 software was used for secondary analysis of DRYAD database data. A total of 204 patients were enrolled from Shinonoi General Hospital for newly diagnosed stable CAD and received PCI performance between October 2014 and October 2017.
